2008 Winter Festival/Carnival Season in New Hampshire

program.

(dartmouth.edu) features snow sculptures, a polar bear swim and other collegiate
winter fun. Continuing the tradition, there are Winter Carnivals in Franconia,
Mount Washington Valley, Laconia, Keene and Somersworth that provide fun for
the whole family and balance wintry weather with bonfires to keep fairgoers warm.
And there's more carnivals throughout the state:
