Pittsfield News
We Miss the Suncook Valley Sun!
The citizens of Pittsfield continue to miss our former newspaper, and peopleb have been having conversations about how to strengthen communicationb within our community. In August the Community Development Committee began to have “communication” as an agenda item. In response Leslie Vogt,
Josiah Carpenter Library’s Director, shared a weekly four-page newspaper Weare in the World. Approximately three years ago Weare, NH lost their
weekly newspaper. In response Weare chose to have their public library produce Weare in the World. This sample uses Weare’s Microsoft Word template as a formatting platform. Our goal is to begin publication . Each ednesday the nnewspaper will be posted on website and emailed to people who
are signed up for the PittsfieldNH.gov newsletter updates. On Wednesday afternoons teens from the Pittsfield Youth Workshop and additional volunteers will bring paper copies to downtown businesses and public
buildings.

Antique Fire Hose Wagon Received Walter Sanborn Award
The antique fire hose wagon and hose reel that was on display at the 1st Annual Walter Sanborn & John Sawyer Memorial Fire Truck Show received the Walter Sanborn award. The Walter Sanborn award this year was presented to a unique, or unusual piece of equipment. Although there were a few contenders, Pittsfield’s were picked because they were in original condition, and have been in possession of the Town since purchase.
