Car Show Update

Car Show was a Success! 

Patten's Auto Repair & Moose Scoops held a benefit to raise money for the Wentworth Veteran's Memorial. The day was beautiful, sunny and filled with plenty of smiles.  Many folks from the surrounding communities came out to help support a great cause. There were a total of 52 registered vehicles for the car show.  We had many wonderful and great donations for the raffle table, some really tasty cheeseburgers, hotdogs and of course... ICE CREAM.

A special Thank you to CARZ Car Club Members out of WRJCT, VT., Ashley Cormier, and many other local friends and residents, who helped out during the event.  Patten's Auto was able to give a check to the Historical Society for purpose of  "The Wentworth Veteran's Memorial".  Craig Pasco, Treasurer, was notified and is aware of the results.

Welcome Tracy Currier


On behalf of the Town of Wentworth, The Board of Selectmen would like to extend a very warm welcome to Tracy Currier.
The Board is excited and pleased to have him accept the interim position as the newest Select Board Member.  Mr Currier took his Oath of Office on July 5th, 2017, and is a replacement for Pete Santom.  This position will be available for re-election in March of 2018.  
Mr. Currier is a native to New Hampshire and has recently moved to Wentworth with his wife and three of five sons.  He is a retired Air Force Senior Master Sergeant with 22 years of leadership and management experience.  After retiring from the Air Force, he continued for the next ten years working for the Department of Defense, at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency before deciding to return home where he now works for the State of NH, Forest Service.
Mr. Currier relocated to Wentworth so that he could raise their children in a safe and friendly community, and hopefully start a farm.  His children will attend Wentworth's Elementary School in the Fall.  His family supports local businesses and would like to be involved in the community.  He feels the balance of being a native to NH, and being a relative newcomer due to his long absence, will be beneficial to the Board and Community.
The Currier family purchased the Hinkley Homestead on Rte 25, heading toward Warren, NH.
Let's all please welcome, Mr. Currier and his family to Wentworth, with open arms!
