It was a quiet day at the third annual SunFest in Newbury. It may be because a surprisingly sunny and warm fall day meant the last of the yard work or house projects for some, or because ChowderFest was happening at the same time in Sunapee Harbor. It was still a fun day – I entered to win a home energy audit, bid on several raffle items provided by sponsors, and met several readers of Kearsarge Magazine. One lady had every issue, except for two 2005 issues, and she was on the lookout for back issues. (Now, that’s the kind of reader I like!) I met Bruce Cronin, who was profiled in the fall 2008 issue and stocked him up with copies to give to friends.

I also had an ionic foot bath, courtesy of Linda Howes, and released some of the toxins from my body. Not sure what made the water turn brown – I’ll spare you the “after” photo of my footbath water, but I’ll have you know I did take one – but I should probably take a break from the diet soda. The highlight for me: the music was spectacular – outdoor concerts happened all day and into the early evening. I’d definitely mark your calendar for it next year!
