Residents of Contoocook New Hampshire find ways to remain a closely-knit New England town. The local people communicate and grow with each other every weekend. The Contoocook Farmer’s Market is held on Saturdays from 9am to 12 noon. At this local town's Market anyone is welcome to sell organic foods or handmade items. Leigh Maynard makes and distributes homemade ice cream of all flavors. “I can make anything. I make peppermint stick, fruit, and maple walnut. I use the syrup the guy sells in the booth next to me.” Buyers and sellers come and enjoy the morning's glow while helping support their community.
At the local Flea Market in Davisville, one man's trash is another man's treasure. The flea Market is open on Sundays from 7am until 12 noon. Residents come to sell goods consisting of: carpets, music, jewelry, and even baked goods! Resident of Contoocook, Olivia Hamel, says, “I usually visit booths with art, music, and jewelry.” Here, families can go on a trip and explore their fellow resident's sale items. Hamel says, “The prices are great; and if not, I bargain!”
