Supported in part by a grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Ralph Page Memorial Committee would like to thank the State Council on the Arts for its generous support during a time when money is scarce; and also the Monadnock Folklore Society for its help in obtaining that funding, and the National Endowment for the Arts, without which it is unlikely the funding would have been available in the first place.


~ About the photos ~

Very Top: Right and left over ... It was great to have Tod Whittemore at the Weekend in 2006. He had a great time too; he even got to dance!

Above: Of course Bob McQuillen is always there — and we’re glad he is!
