The Swamp Bats play @ Alumni Field (@ the Keene High School). They are college students from all over the U.S. that play during their summer break (June, July, and the first week of August; there are usually 20-21 home games & about the same number of away games). Some of the players have made it to the Majors. There is active community support for the team, which has been in existence for 22 years. The team has won the New England Collegiate Baseball League title 5 times. There are field games for kids during the game and a mascot that interacts with attendees. Admission price is $5 (Sr discount available). There is a snack shop @ reasonable prices including fresh cut french fries. (NO alcohol allowed as it's on school property.)

My wife, Golden Retriever, and I entered the back fields and greenhouses on a beautiful late August afternoon. Several items caught our attention. First, they had several large piles where they were doing mulching. They were obviously using heavy equipment to move and turn the tall piles. Such piles can achieve much higher temperatures than a home mulch pile and allow the mulching of a much wider selection of organic matter. Secondly, in one of their greenhouses, they were growing cherry tomatoes on a single strong cord, up to an estimated 8 feet. A worker there told me that I could use the same technique for growing cucumbers. I would consider trying this space-saving method of growing cherry tomatoes and cucumbers next year. Thirdly, they had a lot of instructional material about growing cover crops (winter rye, clover), which I would like to do this fall.

After moving to the local area in June 2017 from Manassas, Virginia, my wife and I discovered this rail trail as a peaceful place for a nature walk with our visiting adult children or with our two, now one, Golden Retriever dogs, which we always have on leashes. We usually access the trail just off Rt 9 about a mile west of Home Depot. Check Google Maps for more details. We walk west for up to a mile along a trail that is in good condition.

This is a ver well maintained & manicured golf coarse. 36 holes of a fairly challenging golf. You have the option to walk it or a cart. I have been playing here since I was a kid. This is a great affordable golf coarse. I wish I could play it more often.
