I then worked several years at Anderson's Bakery in Center Harbor. The following years I worked at the Big Banana in Gilford, Interlakes Dairy Bar in Meredith, Hart's Turkey Farm in Meredith, and the Corner House Inn in Center Sandwich. Every job was great fun and a good way to meet other teenagers from all over the lake. THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!

Wow...what a great NH Lakes Region Resume! I remember going to quite a few of the places you worked at. Question: was the Interlakes Dairy also know as Longwood farms? Probably not as the whole Meredith vs Center Harbor location? If it was not...was the Interlakes Dairy right there by Inn at Bay Point and across from True’s? Definitely have memories of Longwood Farms....but might have a few of the Interlakes. Also, lots of memories of Anderson’s Bakery....and Robbins!

I am from MA, but got married at (the old St Charles in Meredith)....I wanted to get married at Our Lady of Victory, but because of the time of year, it was a no go.

Thanks for the memories folks.
