Almost every town in the Lakes Region has a notable bandstand.
Center Harbor's is wonderfully ornate. Gilford's serves as center of the town's popular Old Home Day activities.
Nearly all the local bandstands are historic edifices that people gather around in summer to hear wonderful music concerts.
But Belmont's bandstand may be the only one in the region that is on the National Trust for Historic Preservation's website. (The town asked for its inclusion in the trust's official list back in the 1980s, but missed out; "Bandstand Park" is what the area around the structure was named when it was officially dedicated back in 1989.)
Now some local history buffs want to make sure memories of the bandstand don't get lost when it is moved for a town renovation project later this month. They're gathering at the park one week from today, Tuesday, July 17, beginning at noon, to celebrate the bandstand and its special place in Belmont's s history.
There will be free hot dogs, festivities - but one of the highlights will be when folks sit down to recall their memories of spending time in and around the old bandstand. It's been at the center of the town's culture for many years.
The history fans plan on capturing some of the reminiscing on video, with the hopes of storing it in the town archives - and maybe someday showing it on the local public access cable television channel.
I'll be there, and I'll be talking with whoever comes by.
