During September, David Gray, of Warner, spent countless hours in the North Country, tucked into a tree stand beside his fellow veterans, both men and women. Gray is the New Hampshire lead for The Fallen Outdoors, a nonprofit that provides outdoor activities for veterans and active-duty military. He was bear hunting with the veterans, but also serving a much bigger purpose.
Last September, Jen Adams launched her fitness training and life coaching businesses, Fierce Spirit Fitness. After 15 years working in law enforcement, Adams was excited to continue to be of service, but with a different approach: teaching people the importance of caring for their mental, emotional and physical health.
When the pandemic took hold and Katharine Nevins moved toward curbside pickup for her shop, MainStreet Bookends of Warner, she reached out to her neighbors, the Warner Public Market. The shops should align their pick-up hours, Nevins reasoned, allowing people to shop downtown during one outing.
When Louis DeAngelis and Tyler Weller, both of Plymouth, co-founded Effortless Adventure last year, they wanted to make camping easy and accessible. They began renting out camping gear, with about 90% of their clients coming from Massachusetts to visit the White Mountains.
