Alton/ Wolfboro recommendations?

Jerry's Barber shop in Alton is good for men's haircuts - both Gerard and Andy cut hair and the place is a good source for local news and other info. If you don't have a washer and dryer, the Laundromat behind the post office in Alton is super. Even if you have a washer and dryer, we use their larger 4 and 6 load machines to do quilts, sleeping bags, etc.

Hello and welcome! We moved to the Wolfeboro side of Alton Bay this past October. We've found this forum very helpful for all the questions you might have.

We also joined the Wolfeboro Newcomers Club and have been enjoying many club activities with them. In fact, their monthly breakfast is coming up which is a great way meet the members and hear about upcoming activities.

Please contact me if you'd like further info

Welcome!! I have been impressed with the service at Wayne's Transmission on Main St in Alton (they handle all repairs, not just transmissions). Honest, reasonably priced, quick service. Fiddlehead Farms on Main St is THE place for great produce, seafood and meats, and they run some incredible specials. Hours are limited in winter to TH through SUN. If you have young ones in your family, the library on Main St has some nice programs, and in the summer Alton Parks and Rec has some fun activities.

If there is anything particular you are looking for, just ask!!

Hi all. As a recent Wolfeboro arrival I would say that one of the best ways to get to know the area and meet some people is to join some local groups and go to local events. Subscribe to the "Granite State News" and find out what's happening. Go downtown and strike up conversations. Hang out at any of the local eateries that let you hang out. (Nolans, Downtown Grille, Lydia's)

There is SO much to do here, you could be busy every night. If you are retired, you could be busy every DAY and night

So many great organizations with volunteers. (If you are into theatre, consider getting involved with the Village Players. Fun group and instant social life.)

Winter is actually the best time to discover who lives here year-round. Other times of the year the population totally changes.

I have had a wonderful time discovering services in the area and find there is basically everything I need including very good medical and dental services. If you are looking for recommendations for any particular service, PM me and I'll give you names and numbers.

Welcome to the area! Once your all settled in it's always a safe idea to have your locks changed from the current key. Deadbolts are highly recommended for the majority of the door's security they provide and discounts on your home owners insurance for having them on all exterior doors. Again, welcome to the area and if we could help let us know! 527-0192 or www.ablocknh.com
