Hey folks. Exciting stuff about Chris and Melissa\'s plan for a restaurant and live music venue... and that they\'ll hopefully be getting some additional ideas from the community later this month.

As that progresses, I\'m going to be focused on developing the building’s second floor ballroom. The previous owners did some beginning renovations on the upper floor but never finished. Does anyone know of sponsors to help fund the remaining work and put the space to use?

Ideas for the second floor include renting it to musicians for band practice during the day, and then renting it out as a function hall for banquets, parties and art shows at night. If anyone is interested in using the space for a small rental fee, even as-is, please let me know.

We are also now officially holding a farmers’ market in the parking lot on weekends this summer, beginning June 21st. The Town of Newmarket, the Lamprey Arts and Culture Alliance, and even the Newmarket Garden Club are all working to help put a Stone Church spin on what could be a really cool event... especially considering Chris and Melissa\'s plans to use local and organic products when possible. Is anyone interested in renting a booth for the event?

Hopefully these kinds of ideas will help find the fundage necessary to complete renovations to the second floor, such as installing a sprinkler system and soundproofing the room. I\'m considering hosting a series of benefit shows with local bands to raise money for the cause. But until then, I\'m super excited about the plans downstairs.

I really appreciate any insight or ideas.

there goes any good reason to go to NH.


I don\'t know about that... mother nature did some mighty fine work within the borders of New Hampshire!!  And from what I\'ve seen from the folks that showed up one day on tour... the people are GREAT!





Hope the Stone Church can keep it\'s doors open for many years to come!!

Lois: What the hell?  Marilyn Manson?  Is that who\'s causing all this?  Peter: Yeah, it\'s all him or hers fault.  Who does he or she think he or she is?  Look, you can totally see his or her nipples.  That\'s obscene... maybe.  Lois: There\'s only one thing to do.  Peter: You\'re right.  We got to find this Marilyn Manson and I\'ve got to give that bastard or bitch a piece of my mind or penis.
