1. More sun, yeah! It’s been a rough couple of days with all that is going on in the world. However, the sun will return, shining warm and bright upon our faces, with highs in the low 60s. It will be a bit breezy though – expect gusts of up to 23 mph. Overnight lows drop down into the mid-30s.
2. Beacon of Hope Award. The Crisis Center of Central New Hampshire celebrates 35 years with a showing of the documentary, “The Invisible War,” at Red River Theatres at 5:30 p.m. A panel will speak after the showing about a new study that will be released showing that sexual assaults in New Hampshire mirror those found in the military. The first Nancy Francoeur Beacon of Hope Award will also be presented.
