Apples, Old Implements, Music, and Logging: It Was All There For Tucker Mountain Day
This free event was a great excuse for lawn chairing and just plain sitting or standing around and chatting with neighbors or newcomers as the kids explored or watched any number of demonstrations with a working draft horse named Leaf, artifacts found in local barns, or a chance to see and discover just how an ox team can listen to and obey commands from its driver, Miles Conklin.
Addition to Newbury Tucker Mountain Town Forest Being Considered
By happenstance, just prior to Mr. Bailey’s offer two brothers managing their parents’ estate had informed the committee that they wanted to donate $50,000 toward a land purchase to honor of their parents. With the asking price (after the 30K reduction) of $235,000, taking away the 66% grant and the donation of $50,000, the Friends of Tucker Mountain, the town forest’s fundraising organization, is left with $29,000 to raise. Friends believes that is quite doable.
