On Saturday evening, April 20 at 7 PM, at AE/MS, the Andover Service Club will sponsor a performance of Fred Marple of Frost Heaves, New Hampshire.

Fred Marple is the unofficial spokesman for the mythical town of Frost Heaves, the most underappreciated town in New Hampshire. He’s on a one-man campaign to put Frost Heaves back on the map, since, as the town’s motto goes, “You can’t get there from here.”

Fred, also known as humorist and songwriter Ken Sheldon, has appeared on New Hampshire Chronicle, in the pages of Yankee Magazine as Contributing Editor, and New Hampshire Magazine, on radio, and in the viral Internet hit Yoga for Yankees. Join Fred as he holds forth on town government, the weather, the wacky characters that inhabit Frost Heaves, and whatever else strikes his fancy. It’s an evening of music and laughter that is uniquely New Hampshire.

The following testimonials are from a few folks for whom “Fred” has performed:

“Thanks again for a wonderful performance. Everyone had a wonderful time, and I know you gained some fans.”

“I wanted to thank you again for a great performance at our annual meeting. It was a great evening enjoyed by all.”

“Fred shows potential of being the voice of New Hampshire.”

“I just realized I hadn’t thanked you yet for your superb performance. Everyone thought you were a hoot.”

“Laughed so much my face hurt for awhile.”

“A truly wonderful performance.”

This is a family-friendly show. Admission at the door: adults, $10; students, $5; under 6, free.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the Andover Service Club Merit Scholarship Fund. ASC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
