It was a fun afternoon. We made our own spaceships out of recyclable materials, which inspired me to start planning a fun Makerspace activity for the library. We also walked around town looking at the shops' displays and enjoyed the mild weather.
The festival is a fundraising event for the Kiwanis club. It celebrates the anniversary each year of the Exeter incident, which was a highly publicized UFO sighting that occurred in 1965.
And that's not the only UFO encounter that has a place in NH history; Betty and Barney Hill encountered a UFO near Lincoln, NH in 1961. A couple years ago, we visited the 'museum' (it's actually a gas station) that commemorates that event.
That night I made a peach crisp out of the peaches we picked that morning at McKenzie's Farm. Not a bad way to spend Labor Day weekend.
