On Saturday, New Ipswich residents gathered at Memorial Field for Autumn Fest, with a host of vendors, raffles, and children’s games.
The festival included live musical performance, food and craft vendors, “Cow Pie Bingo,” a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, and crockpot cook-off and raffles for adults. For children, there were several game booths, as well as a Touch-a-Truck event, a Nerf gun war, hay rides, face painting and pumpkin decorating, and an appearance by Kosmic Kelly Science Experiments.
