It was a palooza of a day! Starting with a get-to-know-your-neighbor walk to Timmy Patten Park and finishing off with a fabulous concert. The Wilmot Community Association’s (WCA) fourth annual Wilmotpalooza was nonstop fun. Held on Sunday, September 11, the weather was perfect and there was something for everyone.

Members of the Wilmot Volunteer Fire Department were on hand to the delight of one and all. The young and young at heart could touch-a-fire-truck, visit with the firefighters, and learn the dynamics of a house on fire. The Elkins Fish and Game Club shared a hands-on exhibit and neat facts about local wildlife. The Friends of the Wilmot Public Library brought along a fun craft project as well as books and comfy chairs for anyone needing a break. Cub Scout Pack 71 Kearsarge/Sunapee answered questions about Scouting. Tiger Mountain Shotokan Karate demonstrated karate moves.

At midday, Nick’s Other Band played a fantastic, get up and dance concert. The Wilmot Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary fired up the grill for a cookout.

Thank you to the selectmen and Town of Wilmot for their on-going support of this event.
