 ALANA HAROLD “We nailed it!” Throughout the long and cold hard-knock winter with record snowfalls, the price of oil braking earthly bounds, and the cost of living driving upwards faster then pay increases can accommodate–the Classic Country Life team went back into the laboratory to brainstorm like a team of mad scientists, crazed with a “Big Idea” in today’s tight economic environment.  Summer 2008 Honey I shrunk the magazine! Designed as a convenient travel size, this issue marks the first of the Lakes Region, NH focus editions to be followed by what we now call the “Epic” New England Travel and Lifestyle edition, with which you may already be familiar. Classic Country Life keeps you on top of “The Scene” P58. New for the Lakes Region editions we have added an in-depth events section with over 400 listings to help you keep current with all that is going on around the area P57. To get the most out of your summer fun, remember to call ahead to confirm dates and times. For the discerning traveller who doesn’t want to waste time or gas, we have created a map just for you P54. Be sure to stop in an say hello to the businesses on the map and thank them for making Classic Country Life Magazine possible. Read about the Lakes Region from our local Big Fish, Q. David Bowers, author of several books, including the three volume set titled The History of Wolfeboro, and the world’s authorities on rare coins P7. Cocktails by the shore? Olive Bob shares a rare romantic find P26. Check out a talented man and his fabled lady P12. From cocktails to fish tales P10. Everything you should know about booze and boating P22. Turn to In the Name of Bikes P48 and read about the birth of the Harley Davidson P50. Did you know that in the mid-50’s contestants would line up to be judged on Lakeside Avenue at Weirs Beach, NH during Bike Week for a best dressed contest? See vintage photo top of P50. Read about a couple and their chopping lifestyle P52. Inside view of a Timeless Master, and his itchy profession P38. Like to launch your laptop in the lake? Get tips from the pros P78.
