📰 News we're reading

• Canadian tourism is recovering in the Granite State, although struggling to rebound to pre-pandemic levels (concordmonitor.com) — A major Exeter campground is seeing fewer Canadian visitors than before the pandemic, despite targeted discounts and outreach, and that slowdown is echoing across New Hampshire's tourism industry. State officials still expect a strong foliage season and modest growth in visitor spending, but local businesses like Wakeda Campground are feeling the pinch from politics, gas prices, and economic uncertainty.
   

• Boie's first-half goal lifts Winnacunnet girls soccer past Exeter in rivalry clash (fosters.com) — Exeter High girls soccer dropped a tight 1-0 rivalry match at Winnacunnet, despite outshooting the Warriors and controlling long stretches of play. A late first-half goal and strong goalkeeping sealed the result, but both coaches say the Blue Hawks remain contenders as they push into the second half of their Division I season.
