All Aboard!
Clothing-Optional Thanksgiving Dinner This Sunday
Reservations are still available for Naturist New Hampshire’s first-ever Off The Rails Thanksgiving Dinner in the Merrimack Valley Railroad Function Hall at 5 Park Street, Northfield, on Sunday, November 16, running from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The menu includes Dr. Pepper Sliced Spiral Ham, Chicken Marsala, Mashed Potatoes, Grilled Mixed Vegetables, Chocolate Chip Cookies, OMG Brownies, and non-alcoholic drinks. (What, no turkey? We figured there will be plenty of turkey dinners in November to satisfy that need, and wanted to offer something a little different.) Note that, because the function hall is part of a catering operation, they ask that people not bring their own food, although non-alcoholic drinks are acceptable.
In addition to the food, there will be board games, music, and socializing. People are encouraged to bring their singing voices, musical instruments, and games, or to provide other forms of entertainment (poetry readings? stand-up comedy?).
Membership in Naturist New Hampshire is not required; all are welcome. The group is family-friendly, supportive, non-threatening, and non-judgmental. Come with an open and respectful attitude toward others. Admission is $50 per person/$90 per couple, with discounts for NNH members or those affiliated with other naturist clubs/organizations. Email events@natnh.com with any questions.
