Amherst Resident in Uniform
Monday, July 4th, 2011
July 4th will soon be upon us and plans are in place for the residents of Amherst to get together once again to celebrate our country’s indepen-dence. The celebration will begin the evening of July 3rd with the pa-rade to follow on the 4th as always. The theme for the 2011 parade is Traditions in Amherst.
Events will include fireworks sponsored, once again, by the Gran-ite State Credit Union, music, hot air balloon rides, a magician, a car-icaturist, a Tarot Card Reader, and food at Souhegan High School on the 3rd and the parade on Monday morning in the village with bands, floats, puppy parade, mini en-tries, antique cars, N.H. Regiments, marchers, clowns, and more. The children’s bicycle parade will begin at Knight’s Field on Main Street and
precede the town parade. The po-litical part of the parade is expected to feature local and state candidates. Events on the village green will in-clude a reviewing stand ceremony, children’s games, booths of local organizations, food, antique auto-mobiles, an Art Show, craft demon-strations, and a dog show. The final schedule will be posted on the town website and printed in the next edi-tion of the Citizen.
Anyone interested in being in the parade, having a spot on the village green (non-profit organizations) , or helping with the activities should contact Nancy Head, 673-1389 or [email protected]. The com-mittee is in need of volunteers who can give an hour or two of their time during the event to help make this a fun celebration for everyone.

Amherst Auto Parade on the 4th of July
July 4th Pins Designed by Kate Hollister
seating area that is the perfect place to sit and read or just relax and enjoy the plants and lovely surroundings. Her garden offers text book exam-ples of how easy and cost effective adding focal points to a landscape can be. Gary Ekdahl’s spectacular waterfall makes use of some large rock formations that are so com-mon in the area. Gary’s waterfall is a reward in itself and should not be missed.
In addition to learning about in-corporating water into your garden, don’t miss the rolling hills and stone wall rooms that define the Danzing-er gardens, famed for their fabulous lilies of every color and description. See 18th century stone walled gar-den rooms that have evolved from the time of Horace Greeley to ac-commodate modern life and tastes. Contrast this quintessential New England farmstead with a modern interpretation of a New England country home at Annmarie Pintal Turcotte’s professionally designed and hard scaped garden complete with swimming pool and fanciful
touches added for the delight and amusement of her two young daugh-ters. The details at Chris Nowlan’s shady professionally planned land-scape are many. The implementa-tion of a professional plan by the homeowner showcases the many options available to those who wish to work with a landscape designer. Innovative and classic materials will inspire with ideas you can incorpo-rate into your own garden.
The tour offers all this and an op-portunity to have a nice day with family or friends, driving the coun-try roads of Amherst, getting a glimpse of rarely seen private gar-dens, and to revel in the beauty of nature both cultivated and wild. The tour offers an optional bag lunch and there is a gardener’s boutique with items sure to delight. Tickets are available for $20.00 each and optional lunch is $14.00 per person. Please call Tibby Coffee at 673-3747. Tickets are limited in number, no guarantee they will be available the day of the event.

The Amherst 4th of July commit-tee is pleased to announce that Kate Hollister, a student at the Amherst Middle School, is this year’s winner in the design contest for the 4th of July Pin. The design contest is open to all students at AMS and is facili-tated by Art Teacher, Marilyn Barry. The 4th of July Committee selects the winning design which is reflec-tive of the theme of the parade. This year’s theme is “Traditions in Am-herst”. Kate and a friend will have the honor of riding in the parade
and of being recognized from the podium at which time she will re-ceive the $25.00 prize.
Pins will go on sale July 3rd at the Souhegan High School during the evening festivities and again on July 4th on The Common. The price of the pin is $3.00 or 2 for $5.00.
