Certain political groups will be banned from Concord s Market Days Festival in 2021. (Tony Schinella/Patch)
CONCORD, NH As the Market Days Festival begins to ramp up for August, after a pause in 2020 due to coronavirus, a controversy has arisen after some political organizations have seen their requests for booths rejected this year.
Back in January, the Intown Concord board of directors, not knowing how many booths they would be able to rent for the three-day event, slated for Aug. 19, Aug. 20, and Aug. 21, voted to disallow political organizations. The thinking at the time, according to Julie Bushaw, the org s board president, who also works at Merrimack County Savings Bank, was the festival should be about downtown, its businesses, its restaurants, and shops, as well as local artists and crafters.

A note of thanks from the Friends of White Park to the community and the staff of Concord Parks and Rec. Every year (well, almost every year, last year we didn t because of the pandemic), neighbors and Friends of White Park gather for a morning of beautifying and cleaning up the park. Day in and day out, the Parks and Rec staff does a fabulous job of keeping one of Concord’s great treasures in excellent shape. Those of us who gathered this past Saturday did our part to help keep the park looking great.

Two Ward 4 residents have signed up to run in the July 13 special election to fill the vacant seat. (Tony Schinella/Patch)
CONCORD, NH Two candidates have filed to run for the open Ward 4 Concord City Council seat to be decided in a special election on July 13.
Karen McNamara of Prince Street and Connor Spern of Union Street both filed to run on Friday. There were no new filings were reported on Monday.
The seat was vacated by Meredith Hatfield, formerly of Perkins Street, who resigned from the board last month, after selling her home and moving out of the city. Hatfield, an environmental attorney, won a three-way special election for the seat in 2019, with 149 votes besting John Cook, who came in second with 99 votes, and Edith Chiasson, who received 51 votes. The special election was held after Byron Champlin resigned from the seat when he won an at-large city council special election that year. Hatfield ran unopposed in November 2019.
