The summer raffle of the Friends of the Northern Rail Trail raised money to support trail maintenance and the building of the final stretch of trail, from Boscawen to the Concord boundary. The prizes were donated by local businesses.

Richard Bott of East Andover won the bicycle donated by Piche’s of Laconia, and Marcia Hansen of Danbury won two nights lodging donated by the Highland Lake Inn. Gift certificates were won by Lois Mageneau of Andover (Jake’s Market), Bruce Swanson of Mansfield, Massachusetts (Blackwater Junction Restaurant), Karen Padgett of Danbury (Flying Goose Brew Pub), and Paul Lazdowski of New London (Pizza Chef).

The FNRT thanks the community for their support in our fundraisers and we hope to see you out enjoying the trail!
