At two INDOOR Farmers Markets Saturday Nov. 7th & Saturday Nov. 21st in Northwood, local produce and goods continue into the fall and for the holidays.

It won’t matter if it rains (or even, dare we say, snows?), you can still find local produce for your Thanksgiving feast and pick up jams, wine, honey and goats milk soaps for those special gifts, wreaths and other decorations, all while staying warm and dry in the Masonic Hall on Rt. 4 in Northwood.  Join us Saturday, Nov. 7th, and Saturday, Nov. 21st from 9 am to 1pm.  Parking at the municipal lot at the corner of Rts. 4 and 202/9.

Donations are being gratefully taken for the Northwood Food Pantry on both market dates.

Don’t forget to check out the blog for the latest Northwood Farmers Market news.

Work began November 3rd on the Bennett Bridge Road and Town Beach Improvement Project. 

The purpose of the Project is to repair and restore Bennett Bridge and the Bennett Bridge Town Beach. The Town will be installing culverts, catch basins and a drainage system to ensure that the flood damage that occurred in 2006 and 2007 does not happen again.

The Project is currently scheduled to be completed in mid-December. If final paving cannot be completed before this time, it will be done in the Spring of 2010.

Please direct any questions concerning the project to Jim Wilson, Road Agent, 396-8593 or David Stack, Town Administrator, 942-5586, ext. 204 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
