Pick up a passport at Still North, stop into participating businesses to find the answers, and drop your completed passport in the box in front of Town Hall by Saturday, Oct 10.

Every completed passport is entered to win:
☕🍩 Lou’s Cold Brew and a donut
🎟️ Two tickets to the Nugget Theater
🛍️ $25 gift card to Revolution

FallFest is Sept 25 — plan your parking now!

FallFest returns to Storrs Pond on Friday, September 25, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Before the fun details, a heads-up on getting there:
Parking and shuttles
Storrs Pond has limited on-site parking, and it fills quickly. Additional parking is available at Ray School, with shuttles running every 15 minutes from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM.
What’s happening
This year’s FallFest includes a petting zoo with 9 animals, c***r pressing, a hay bale hunt, and an Activity Fair where Town of Hanover departments and local organizations run fall crafts and games for kids. LBSpinnerZ ArtZ performs a 60-minute bubble show at 4:45 PM. Food trucks (Playa Bowls, Hot Dogz, Cotton Candy Kids) will be on site — bring cash.
FallFest runs alongside the Hanover Police Department’s Touch a Truck, held for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in partnership with the DHMC Blood Donor Program. Expect a fire truck, police cruiser, and other vehicles to climb into.
Kids can pick up a Fallfest Passport at the welcome station and collect a stamp at each stop for a raffle entry.
Admission is free. See you at Storrs Pond.

That’s a wrap on Picnic in the Park!
Six Wednesdays of performers, crowds of 70-100 each week. Performers who knew exactly how to hold kids’ attention, and more happy energy than we could fit in one photo.
Thank you to the series Co-Sponsors; Howe Library , the The Etna Library Library, and the The Hop at Dartmouth — this series works because we built it together. And thank you to every family who came out for some fresh air, entertainment and community!
One last favor: we’d love to hear your thoughts on the series. Our survey takes about a minute, and your answers shape next summer’s lineup, locations, and timing. Link is here https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sv/YgooKay/PiP

Does your teenager have two free afternoons a week?

HPR is hiring ages 16+ as counselors for KAST, our after-school program for elementary school kids.
Starting pay is $16-19/hour, 2:30-5:30/5:45 and Wednesday is 1:30-5:30, min. two days a week. We build the schedule around sports, rehearsal, and homework.

What they'll actually do: run games, help with projects, get kids outside, serve snack, and play.
What they'll get: real childcare experience that means something on a college application, a first reference from a municipal employer, and the specific confidence that comes from being the person elementary school students listen to.

No experience required. If they're good with kids, we'll teach them the rest.
