Laconia Historical and Museum Society Antiques Appraisal Day Saturday at Antique Center
LACONIA — Laconia Historical and Museum Society will host its quarterly Antiques Appraisal Day on Saturday, January 26 from 2-4 p.m. at The Laconia Antique Center, 601 Main Street in downtown Laconia.
Expert appraisers Doug McGowan, Linc Fournier and Greg Peverley will be available to offer their expertise and verbal estimations of value. Much like the Antique Road Show, where participants bring in their items to be appraised, the society's group of talented appraisers use the "team" approach to determine a value and share information with the audience unique to each item.
Items should include stoneware, clocks, coins, toys, silver, rugs, jewelry and general antiques. The cost is $5 per appraisal with all proceeds to benefit the Laconia Historical and Museum Society. Tickets are sold at the door on a first come - first served basis.

Opechee Garden Club program on healthy houseplants Thursday at Gilford Library
GILFORD — Jane Rollins, a local Master Gardener, will offer a workshop on "Happy and Healthy House Plants" to the Opechee Garden Club (OGC) on Thursday, January 24 at 1 p.m. at the Gilford Public Library, Potter Hill Road in Gilford.
Rollins, an OGC member, will focus on ten common houseplants, their requirements and care and why they are good for your home or may even make you smarter.
OGC received a Landscape Recognition Award for planting at the Belknap County Court House through the city's Adopt-A-Spot. Members have been planting and maintaining area gardens at the court house and other sites for many years. The garden club exhibited their entry, "A Winter Garden" that combined woodsy, natural decorations with a splash of glitter, in the Belknap Mill "Trees for the Holidays" contest again this year. Those working on the committee were: Marge Dyer, Jo Connelly, Donna Vernon, Bev Martin and President Sandy Gove.
Club members Louise Osburn, Carolyn Temmallo, Jane Rollins and Sandy Gove joined Decorative Interiors and worked together for this showcase event, the Designer Show House and Holiday House Tour of the Bridges House in Concord. On both the New Hampshire and National Register of Historic Places, the Bridges House was built in 1835, owned and resided in by former Governor and US Senator Styles Bridges and until it was donated to the state as the official NH Governor's executive residence by his widow in 1969.
Starting the month of February, OGC will be featured in the Laconia Historical & Museum Society exhibit of organizations in the city that are primarily or completely comprised of and run by strong, creative and charitable women and the work inspired by women, their histories, goals, present status, memorabilia, achievements and displayable items.
Members who are looking forward to lunching together at the Brick Front Restaurant, Church Street on Tuesday, February 5 at noon should RSVP to Suzanne Perley at 528-1123.
The Opechee Garden Club meets the first Monday of the month at 1 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) at the Gilford Community Church, Potter Hill Road, Gilford. New members are always welcomed to join in time to celebrate the 75th Anniversary in 2014. Write PO Box 6025, Laconia, NH, call 293-7357, email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Bruce Marshall Group Blues Band at Pitman's Freight Room Friday
LACONIA — Pitman's Freight Room in Laconia will present the Bruce Marshall Group Blues Band on Friday January 25 at 8 p.m. Admission is $10, doors open at 7:15 p.m. and the Freight Room is a BYOB venue. www.pitmansfreightroom.com
The Bruce Marshall Group live show treats their fans to a soaring ride as they rip through a catalog of original material that truly sets this band apart. They love to mix it up, whether it's pulling off exciting jams that build with dynamics and layering, or playing the concise arrangements of their songs with discipline and taste.
The sound defies categorization, slipping seamlessly around touches of Blues, R&B, Rock and Southern Boogie. The interplay between Marshall and longtime guitarist Dave Cournoyer is the heart and soul of their performances. The songs are mostly upbeat, but even those dealing with love lost and missed opportunities, carry an underlying sense of hope and optimism.
