06.10.23 arms flung wide... Pollyanna is a symbol of cheer!
May A.

Get ready for "Glad Day" [Littleton NH] "Be Glad" brought to you by the one and only Pollyanna. It so happens that the town of Littleton was celebrating Pollyanna Glad Day when we visited. We were at the tail end of the celebration but we were down at the Riverwalk Covered Bridge (behind Main Street). Apparently this is a whole day celebration beginning at 9:00a to 4:00p that includes a craft fair, "Glad Day" Hat decorating party, watching the classic Walt Disney Pollyanna movie, talent show, cupcake challenge, an annual group photo at the Pollyanna sculpture... plus more. This was a big deal in the town of Littleton paying tribute to their hometown author Eleanor H. Porter. Pollyanna's bronze sculpture can be found at the lawn in front of the library on Main Street. There she was, arms flung wide, a welcoming attraction. The rain was starting to come down hard but I was able to take some shots of Littleton's celebrated symbolic centerpiece and ambassador of cheer. Pollyanna (the movie) is an uplifting story about an orphaned girl. Her sunny attitude was all about helping others and expecting the best from everyone so if you're called a Pollyanna it means that you are an optimist and have a tendency to find positive and good in everything. Visitors rub her shoes for "happiness." Review #3043

This is The Frost Place, the former summer home of American poet Robert Frost turned museum and…read morehistorical landmark. The property is not very big, but nonetheless it is quaint and charming. A beautiful mid 19th century farmhouse situated on a quiet, rural dirt road with woods behind the house and breathtaking mountain views from the front porch. You can definitely understand why Frost loved spending his summers here with his family. A good portion of the house is closed off and used as a private residence; it was explained to us that they use it for a poets-in-residency program, meaning that they select a poet to live in the house each summer as a way to give them space and time to concentrate on their work. The part of the house that is open to the public is filled with artifacts including photos, newspaper clippings, old samples of Frost's writing and even original furniture. There's also a barn on the property where they hold a variety of workshops for poetry and the arts, and have poetry collections from some of the poets they've hosted for sale. There is also a short trail in the woods behind the house featuring signs reading some of Frost's works. There is a small, reasonable admission fee. I will also say that I don't think you necessarily have to be a big fan of Robert Frost to appreciate this place and the history of it. So if you're in the area and you have an hour or so to kill, it might be worth stopping by The Frost Place.

We only visited this place during a time it was closed, but the trail was well worth a stop to take…read morea relaxing stroll. It was exactly what we needed.

If you don't like crowds though, be prepared - this is always a tight one. I love big crowds and busy spaces, personally, so I was in my element! * If you want a sitting spot (for example at one of the tasting room outdoor tables) the reality is that you'll have to show up at 10am or even before, for the 11am opening, and wait in line. Live music was on all day and it was fun to watch people in traditional costumes dance! I loved the merch this year! The Oktoberfest mug is beautiful. Also got a tile, tee shirt, socks, some cans... As for the beer offerings - I admit I am not a beer drinker. I pretty much only drink beer from Schilling - but I've learned a few things from them and going to their fests... I don't like pilsners and light beers at all, or any "fruity" flavors. I love IPAs, and I can do marzens and darker beers. There was 50+ breweries represented at this Oktoberfest, some from as far as Germany, and a couple of Quebec and Ontario breweries too! All volunteers were friendly and knew their stuff. Overall this was another great day, with once again the weather on our side. I attended with my boyfriend (on a designated driver ticket) and a friend from town, and we all had a great time! I'll be back for Oktoberfest 2027 :)

Small town with a charming atmosphere [Littleton NH]…read more Littleton was our next stop from The Old Man of the Mountain in Franconia. They aren't very far from each other, some 15 miles. Main Street was busy... ahh! I see, the town was celebrating Pollyanna Glad Day. This is a big deal for this town paying tribute to their hometown author, Littleton-born Eleanor H. Porter. While we didn't see much of the celebration going on we did notice that Main Street was busy with both car and foot traffic. We parked behind Main Street (metered parking) and walked down towards the RiverWalk Covered Bridge. The bridge is long and crosses over the Ammonoosuc River. Beautiful setting with the mountains as backdrop. We almost forgot to look for the bronze Pollyanna Statue which was situated on the lawn outside the library on Main Street... there she was, the cheery and welcoming ambassador, New Hampshire's most welcoming attraction as the centerpiece of historic downtown. Main Street is a quaint little town... like being transported back in time. There where local shops, restaurants, breweries, and galleries. There was plenty to explore in this wonderful White Mountains community, unfortunately, our exploring was cut short when the skies turned gray and started to rain... hard. This was in June...

The setting is actually more comfortable on a covered deck with corn hole and other games to keep you amused.

We decided to remain at the bar. Ordered beers with the male bartender. Just as I was getting up to let the host know we were going to remain at the bar so he could give our table up the female bartender make a comment "don't you have your name down for A table" ( not in a nice tone) to told her I was getting up to let them know. I ordered the Tennessee chicken sandwich which was very tasty however too spicy for me. I had to request water (by the way they filled water for other quests sitting next to us.) I said to the male bartender the chicken sandwich was much spicer than I expected. His comment was "with the name Tennessee you would think that you would know that". My husband ordered the peanut crusted fish. He really enjoyed his meal. We also ordered the Brussels which were tasty but a bit over cooked. I would probably try the restaurant again but never sit at the bar. Too rude for me.
