Fall is in the air here in New Hampshire and Maine, and the fun things continue to go on!  You can see by the sampling of events I've listed below that New Hampshire and Maine offer fun for everyone all year long.

October brings with it the brilliant grand display of Mother Nature's foliage colors - everywhere you look in about 2 weeks or so, you'll see the most magnificent show in all of nature.  The fiery reds of the sugar maples, red maples and sumac; the brilliant oranges of maples and sassafras; the gold and yellows of birch, ash, hickory, beech, oak, and other varieties of maples - this is what draws millions of guests to our great state of New Hampshire every fall.
