Valley Pride Day 2012

Another year has gone by and tomorrow, May 5, is Valley Pride Day once again.This is a wonderful opportunity to get out with your neighbors and help clean along our streets and do a little spring cleaning in the valley. After the clean up, you can head to the Hampton Inn Valley Pride Day 2012 in the Mt. Washington Valleyin North Conway for a free luncheon, entertainment and prizes. The kids can also bring their swim suits and enjoy the hotel’s indoor pool.

Be sure to check out the Valley Pride Day Facebook page for all the details and contact information on who’s in charge for your area.

It’s also Cinco de Mayo tomorrow so after you’ve helped clean up your part of the community stop by the Wildcat Tavern for a margarita and some nachos.

Events This Weekend

As you know, there’s always something to do in Jackson and the greater North Conway area. For this weekend, April 28 &29, here’s a quick rundown on some of these events:

Wedding Rehearsal Dinners

It’s hard to believe that we’re full on into September now with the children back to school and foliage season just around the corner. The busy summer tourist season may be over but that doesn’t mean the wedding season has ended. For us, the fall wedding season is just as strong as the summer. After all, there isn’t much in this world more beautiful than being outside surrounded by the glorious autumn colors of New Hampshire.

The Wildcat Inn & Tavern in Jackson, NH is comprised of a 90 seat main dining room divided into 5 distinct spaces, a 90 seat Tavern with roaring fire places, our beautiful outdoor gardens and deck, and 12 inn rooms and Click to Enlargesuites. Each of these areas can be used exclusively for wedding rehearsal dinners, private parties or business meetings and events. For guests thinking of holding any kind of ceremony at The Wildcat there are several great locations, inside and out, for exchanging vows. There are also other great locations within walking distance of The Wildcat including, “The Little White Church” and the waterfalls.

Every event at The Wildcat Inn and Tavern is customized to meet the needs of our guests so we invite you to come for a tour of the entire inn and the beautiful grounds surrounding the inn. We look forward to helping make your event special and as wonderful as you imagine.

Memorial Day Weekend Activities
