Pinkham Notch, NH—Held on Saturday, March 10th, the second-annual Great Glen Trails Winter Charity Day was an event which celebrated active lives, and promoted the spirit of giving. Participants made a donation to the charity of their choice, and then enjoyed a day of Nordic skiing and snowshoeing on our scenic trail system. Our old-fashioned tubing hill was a big hit for all ages, and a catered lunch was served in our cozy base lodge. For those participants who donated $50 or more, we thanked them with an exciting ride on the Mt. Washington SnowCoach.
The inaugural Great Glen Trails Winter Charity Day, held in March 2017, raised over $2,500 for 17 local and national charities. This year’s event built on that success, raising $4,285 for 34 great causes, including:
Jen’s Friends Cancer Foundation
ALS Association of Northern NE
Family Resource Center at Gorham
Starting Point NH
PugHearts of Houston
The Angels Community Outreach
Manchester NH VA Hospital
March of Dimes
Angels and Elves
Gibson Center
VNA Home Care and Hospice of Carroll County
Leo’s Recovery Fund
Bartlett Historical Society
Coos Cycling Club
Tin Mountain Conservation Center
St. Judes Children’s Hospital
North Conway Public Library
Arts Council of Tamworth
Community Legal Aid
Aurora
American Cancer Society
Mt. Washington Valley Trails Association
Society for Protection of NH Forests
Mt. Washington Valley Bicycling Club
Feeding America
Tewksbury Historical Society
NH Civil Liberties Union
Green Mountain Club
White Mountain Waldorf School
North Conway Humane Society
Jackson Biathlon
Cocheco Humane Society
Cultural Survival
Mt. Washington Valley Habitat for Humanity
A special “thank you” goes out to several organizations that attended the event and set up displays to educate participants on their involvement with local communities. Those included the Bartlett Historical Society, Mt. Washington Valley Trails Association, Arts Council of Tamworth, Mt. Washington Valley Bicycling Club, and the North Conway Public Library.
The whole staff at Great Glen Trails is also proud to have raised $625 for local Olympic athlete Sean Doherty. Sean is a member of the U.S. Olympic Biathlon Team, and recently competed in his second winter Olympic games in PyeongChang, South Korea. When he’s not traveling the globe on the World Cup tour, Sean makes his home in Center Conway, New Hampshire. He grew up skiing and competing at Great Glen Trails, and it’s our honor to support him on many levels. The $625 that was raised during Winter Charity Day came from the sale of raffle tickets for a quilt that was made by his grandmother, Winnie O’Shaughnessy and family friend Laura Brockett. The lucky winner was Donna Jenkins.
The Great Glen Trails Winter Charity Day will continue to be an ongoing part of the philanthropic activities hosted by the Mt. Washington Auto Road and Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center. The companies’ events have a long history of raising funds for local charities and non-profit organizations, foremost among them being the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb which has raised over $1,100,000 for the Tin Mountain Conservation Center, and the Northeast Delta Dental Mt. Washington Road Race which has raised over $100,000 for Coos County Family Health Services.

CONWAY, NH – Despite today’s big snowstorm the polls are open across the Mount Washington Valley.
The only towns not holding voting today are Conway, Hale’s location, and Chatham. Chatham is the only town to postpone its town meeting due to the storm. Their town meeting will take place this coming Saturday, March 17, at 2 p.m. at the Chatham Town Hall.

STOW,ME – A weekend fire in Stow has left 5 people homeless. According to the Saco Valley Fire Association several departments from New Hampshire and Maine responded just after midnight on Sunday to a structure fire at a home just off of Route 113.
The massive blaze could be seen connecting the home to their barn.
Thanks to their smoke alarms the two residents who were home at the time and the family dog made it out safely.
The fire was declared under control about an hour after crews arrived, but unfortunately the home was destroyed.
The cause of the fire has yet to be determined and the Maine State Fire Marshal’s office is expected to be on scene today (Monday 3/12/18) to investigate.

CONCORD, NH – The 4th Annual Women’s Defense League’s “Gun Rights are Women’s Rights,” rally took place this past Saturday (3/10). According to organizers, it’s the only 2nd Amendment Rally hosted by a women’s group in the State’s history.
Hundreds of supporters came from around New Hampshire to stand outside of the State House in defense of their Right to Bear Arms. The event doubled in size compared to last year’s attendance as speakers talked about the latest legislation involving firearms.
President of the Women’s Defense League Kimberly Morin says the rally is held every year to bring supporters of the Second Amendment together and to remind them that they will always have to fight against gun control. She says there are new gun control bills pushed by legislators every year.
Many attendees openly carried their firearms on the grounds in front of the State House for the event. Various rifles from AR15s and AK47s to even a biathlon rifle were on display as well as many holstered pistols.
Morin says one major factor for the larger turn out this year was the fact that it was 20 below last year, but it’s clear in pictures comparing the event’s attendance over the years that it’s definitely growing in size.
