SUMMARY:8/22: INFORMATIONAL MEETING: Saving the Historic Pear Yard School
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about the historic Pear Yard School!\nTo gauge the level of community interest in and support for preserving Rollinsford’s historic Pear Yard School\, the Association for Rollinsford Culture and History (ARCH) will host an informational meeting at 6 pm on Tuesday\, August 22 at the Colonel Paul Wentworth House on Water Street in Rollinsford. \nThe Pear Yard School on Rollins Road was built in 1854 to replace an earlier 18 th century schoolhouse which stood near a pear orchard belonging to Andrew Rollins. Until the construction of Rollinsford Grade School in 1936\, the Pear Yard School was one of four one-room schoolhouses where children living in the rural areas of Rollinsford were educated\, and as such it represents a tangible link to Rollinsford’s agricultural and educational past. \nDATE: Tuesday\, August 22\nTIME: 6:00 PM\nLOCATION: The Colonel Paul Wentworth House \nAn important outcome of the meeting will be the formation of a steering committee of local citizens who would be interested in working on the project. Agenda items for the meeting include the feasibility of preserving and restoring the schoolhouse; the costs involved and possible sources of funding for the project; potential uses of the building; and its eligibility for the state historic register. Also\, because the schoolhouse must be moved from its current location\, another important topic will be the logistics of moving the building and possible new sites. \nARCH has applied for a mini grant from the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance to hire a consultant to prepare a condition assessment of the schoolhouse\, and Andrew Cushing from the Preservation Alliance will attend the meeting to report on the results of the study\, provide guidance\, and answer questions. \nSEND YOUR INPUT\nInterested persons who are not able to attend the meeting or who have additional questions are encouraged to send an email to ARCH at paulwentworthhouse@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Sheep to Sweater Challenge
DESCRIPTION:From Sheep to Sweater with the Granite Web Makers\nCheer on the Granite Web Makers\, one of three official USA teams in the 2023 International Back to Back Wool Challenge\, as they shear a sheep\, spin the wool into yarn\, and knit a sweater all in one day! \nThe day’s activities will begin at 9 am with sheep shearing\, followed by a day of nonstop spinning and knitting.

Each team consists of a blade shearer\, a country of origin sheep\, and seven spinners/knitters who follow the identical Challenge rules and pattern to knit an adult size sweater\, all in one day. \nIn addition to sharing their love of wool\, the Granite Web Makers will be raising money for Amy’s Treat\, a nonprofit organization which supports Seacoast area cancer patients by providing solutions to the day-to-day difficulties of living with cancer and offering unexpected “treats” to renew the spirit.
