But how about this? Raise the issue with the Hannaford's. At the IGA in Wolfboro they ENCOURAGE you to take the carriages to the docks and just send a bag boy to retrieve them later. The terrain ain't that bad in Meredith. The distance is a bit further in Meredith but if you didn't have to return the carriage that would probably work. Maybe they'd be accomodating. Would you tip a kid to help schlep everything to the docks and then take the carriages back? It''d be interesting to see if the new Hannafords was willing to "think outside the box" to accomodate the unique nature of having a grocery store "on the lake".

As for the dock idea. Yeah it's pretty boney in there. Probably not a workable solution even if the owners/town/state were willing.... But hey, nice that you're thinking about creative solutions.
