4. Shear fun! Join Someday Farm in Canterbury for their Annual Alpaca Shearing Day! Come early for coffee work, be prepared to get fuzzy, maybe a tad dirty.

5. Legally funny! The hilarious MGM film is Broadway's new smash hit musical, and now Legally Blonde, the musical comes to The Palace Theatre! Legally Blonde follows sorority star Elle Woods, an underestimated blonde who doesn’t take “no” for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone more “serious,” Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style. Don’t miss out on the New Hampshire stage premiere of this contemporary heartfelt story that one reviewer praised as, “ridiculously enjoyable from start to finish”.
