Due to the current state of the pandemic, and our optimistic thoughts to work to move forward to plan a safe event with extensive safety protocols in place, we have come to realize that given the current state of the pandemic in our region, we can not safely move forward with a large in person, public event that is the Gathering of Jack O’Lanterns on October 24t
We want to take a moment to thank all of you who were interested in attending, our vendors and our volunteers, as well as all of our local business community who came together to help sponsor: Littleton Chevrolet, Crosstown Motors, North Country Environmental Services, The Beal House, Demers Chimney Service, Porfido’s Market and Deli, Foto Factory, Hunkins & Eaton Insurance, Bank of New Hampshire, Trahan’s Cleaning Service, Peabody & Smith Realty & Littleton Bike and Fitness.
In terms of the event itself, we are going to use this page to turn this into a virtual event. We invite you to please take a picture of your own carved pumpkins and share it on the “Gathering of Jack O’Lanterns” Facebook Event page, as we pivot to a safe, virtual event. Feel free to use the hashtag: #
We hope when we can return to large, in person events in the future, we’ll see you again, in person.
Thank you,
Dave Harkless ,Co-President, Mt. Eustis Ski Hill

“Our Non-Rotarian Paul Harris Fellow award is given annually to someone in the community who exemplifies the major idea of Rotary – Service Above Self,” said club president Chrissy Smith. “This coveted award is named after the person who founded Rotary International over 100 years ago.”
John Hennessey has given considerable time and effort to a variety of local organizations involved in improving the quality of life in Littleton and the rest of the North Country. Hennessey has since 2013 served as Chair of the Littleton River District Redevelopment Commission. He has also contributed to his hometown as Treasurer of the Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce, board member and Treasurer for Parker Mountain Trails, and a coach for Littleton Youth Baseball and Soccer.
Among his other activities that served the local area have been as a member of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s North Country Advisory Board and of the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Committee for the North Country. John Hennessey returned to his hometown of Littleton in 2007 to become Vice President and chief financial officer of Littleton Coin Company. He recently became its President and chief executive officer.
“The Littleton Rotary Club is pleased to be able to recognize and honor John Hennessey for all that he has done and continues to do in service to our community,” said Schuyler Sweet, chair of the club’s Paul Harris Fellow Award committee. “One obvious example is his strong leadership of Littleton’s River District Commission that is continuing to make possible several major improvements for the community on both sides of the river.”
The Littleton Rotary Club initiated its Non-Rotarian Honorable Paul Harris Fellowship Award in 1985 and each year since then has honored a deserving individual from the local area. The club donates $1.000 to the Rotary International Foundation each year in the name of each of the honorees.
Because of Covid-19, the club’s usual presentation of this award at its annual meeting was not possible this year because members are only gathering online via Zoom. The recent remote presentation of the award to John Hennessey by Schuyler Sweet can be viewed here and at the club’s Facebook page.
The Littleton Rotary Club supports programs for youth, scholarships and other critical issues that impact local communities, as well as Rotary International programs throughout the world.
