Residents and visitors from as far away as Florida attended Dublin Community Day Saturday, where activities ranged from arts and the works of artisans to a fire hose game and some polling on the final form of the Peace Pole planned for town.
The DubHub was dedicated to artisans and artists displaying works from watercolor paintings to jewelry.
Susan Garry of Felt Experience in Jaffrey was sharing her “wet felt” creations, which could be hung in a space or used to help dry certain items from nature.
Garry emphasized that they are not needle-felt.
Yankee Publishing’s space hosted cornhole contests, a Spiffy Bike Parade, food courtesy of grilling by the town’s fire and rescue and police departments, a tour of Yankee’s operations and a touch-a-truck. A “hawk talk” behind the library was offered not far from the town archives, which are open for limited times this summer. Celeste Snitko noted how “very lucky Dublin is for this nice space for these special documents, images, art works and artifacts.”
“The tagline for this event is ‘Open Doors,’” said Lucy Shonk, one of the volunteers who helped make the day happen. “We want people to feel welcome here.”
