and, most recently, an astonishing economic renaissance. Discussion lead by Don Sieker. 7 p.m. Hollis Social Library, 2 Monument Square. (603) 465-2411. February 23: A Soldier’s Mother Tells Her Story, New Hampton, NH. You won’t have read about Betsy Phelps in history books. She’s no one important, just a mother of a Civil War soldier who takes letters from the battlefield and memories from the home front to weave a dramatic story of life in the 1860s. Presented by Sharon Wood. 7 p.m. Gordon Nash Library, 69 Main St. (603) 744-9798. February 23: Covered Bridges of New Hampshire, Epping, NH. Covered wooden bridges have been a vital part of the NH transportation network, dating back to the early 1800s. Given NH’s myriad streams, brooks, and rivers, it’s unsurprising that 400 covered bridges have been documented. Often viewed as quaint relics of a simpler past, they were technological marvels of the day. It may be native ingenuity and NH’s woodworking tradition that account for the fact that a number of nationally noted covered bridge truss designers were NH natives. We will discuss covered bridge design and technology, learn about their designers, builders, and associated folklore. Highlighted by images of NH bridges, past and present, we will witness their ultimate transition from commonly used structures to historic icons. Presented by Glenn A. Knoblock. 7 p.m. Harvey-Mitchell Memorial Library, 151 Main St. (603) 679-5944. February 25: Winterfest, Kennebunk, ME. Cold days are just right for a soup-tasting contest and a snowman scavenger hunt, plus a craft show at Town Hall and additional events throughout the downtown area. (201) 985-2102; kennebunkfestivals.com. February 25: Fly-Tying Workshop, Nashua, NH. The Merrimack River Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited will sponsor an introduction to fly- tying workshop. Students will be introduced to the tools, materials, threads, and hooks required for fly-tying. Then, in a hands-on session, they will learn to tie nymph, wet, streamer, and dry flies. Tools and materials will be provided, but participants may bring their own if they have them. The workshop is part of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s Let’s Go Fishing program. It will be taught by trained volunteer instructors with a wealth of experience and knowledge to help the beginning angler get started. The class is for adults and children over 12 if accompanied by an adult. Enrollment is limited. To register, go to www.tinyurl.com/

Using oral histories, Rebecca Rule recreates the voices of North Country people and uses new and vintage photos to tell the story of logging, the Berlin Mills, and life in the Androscoggin Valley from the beginnings of the logging industry in the 1800s through the boom years and on to the demolition of the stacks in 2007, marking the end of an era. Through the stories of individuals, a picture of a rich culture emerges. Audience members will be invited to share their own stories and discuss the logging and paper industries and the special place north of the notches. 2 p.m. Lempster History Hall, 4 Second NH Turnpike. (603) 863-5023. February 26: Russian Iconography: 1,000 Years of Tradition, Nashua, NH. Traditional Russian icon painting is truly one of the great artistic movements in the history of the world and has been a living and evolving art form for more than 1,000 years. This illustrated presentation deals with the spiritual and secular significance of Russian religious art from the 10th century to the present day. Icon making involves the painting of specifically stylized religious images on wood using materials and techniques which are determined by longstanding conventions which serve to shape the art form. Using a slide show and numerous exhibits, including examples of her own work, the presenter will examine the history of icon painting in Russia and will discuss the unique multiple nature of the icon as a sacred object, a product of an artistic tradition, and a work of art with its own intrinsic aesthetic value. Anyone who has personal icons may bring them for examination and comment. Presented by Marina Forbes. 2 p.m. Infant Jesus School Cafeteria, 3 Crown St. (603) 882-2462. March 1: Come Fly Away, Lowell, MA. This musical follows four couples as they fall in and out of love during one song and dance filled evening at a crowded nightclub. Blending the legendary vocals of Sinatra with a live onstage 19-piece big band and 15 dancers, the show features a hit parade of Sinatra classics, including “Fly Me to the Moon,” “My Way” and “That’s Life.” Experience the exhilaration of a first kiss, the excitement of a first dance, and the bittersweet moments of a first goodbye in a world of sparkling romance and astonishing beauty.
