Summit, Spirit, Sky: connect to community and creation!

This week: TUE, Sept 12 – SUN, Sept 17

TUE, Sept 12

  • Community Event: NORDIC WALKING – INTERVALS with POLES – with Ellen Chandler
    8am • Valley Cross Road Parking Lot, Jackson

    • Tuesdays – Nordic Walking (Sept. 12, 19 (will need guest leader), 26, Oct. 3, 10, 17, 24, 31)
    • From Ellen “Plus, this is not high school, you are not required to do “the workout,” I am totally happy if you join for the start and do your own thing on the trail; it just helps if people have a workout buddy so no one is out on the trail alone.”
    • Needed equipment: ski poles are better than trekking poles, but don’t let pole-specificity get in the way of joining.  I wear my “second best running shoes,” not the best because it can be wet and muddy; but light hikers work, too. Plus the usual sun and tick repellents.

  • Community EventL ROBERT FROST – This Verse Business with Gordon Clapp
    7:30pm • Majestic Theater

    • North Conway native and Emmy-winner Gordon Clapp (NYPD Blue) stars as flinty and witty Robert Frost in A.M. Dolan’s Robert Frost: This Verse Business. Drawn from hundreds of hours of the poet’s recorded public “talks,” as well as interviews and correspondence, it’s an exhilarating glimpse of the public and private faces of the man, and an entertaining testament to the intrinsic value of the arts.
    • For nearly fifty years, Robert Frost “barded” around the country giving entertaining “talks” to sell-out crowds.  He would “say” his poems and share his beliefs and humorous “wild surmises” on art, religion, science, and politics. The poet’s great wit and verse are heard afresh in Clapp’s critically acclaimed performance.
