I’m looking to put together the next issue of The Hooksett Bridge. I have minimal time for this next issue. I need to get everything done by Wednesday end of the day. I need your help!

Please provide your community submissions for things going on in November or early December (1st or 2nd week in Dec) as that is when the next issue will come out. We want to hear from the community what’s going on?

I also am putting together the front page story and the focus is Thanksgiving, and gratitude. I’m looking for stories and quotes from people in town sharing what and why they are grateful for here in Hooksett. Please share what you are grateful for in Hooksett and why. Not everything can be published so make it good, and it just might make the print! Ready, set COMMENT!
