You’re Invited: Thankful for Community – Harvest Dinner
Wednesday, November 19, 2025 | 5–8 PM
Coos Brewing Company | 30 Bromage Drive, Colebrook, NH
Join your neighbors and friends for an evening of good food, connection, and celebration! The Community Builders Hub is hosting a free community harvest dinner to share gratitude for all that’s growing in northern Coos and northeastern Essex County.
Come enjoy a relaxed night filled with conversation, delicious local food, and stories of community progress. We’ll celebrate the ways we’ve been coming together through the Connecting the North Country & NEK gatherings—and we’d love to welcome even more new faces this time. Bring a friend, or come make new ones!
What to Expect:
- A complimentary meal featuring appetizers, a pizza and salad buffet, and dessert—using local ingredients as available.
- Beverages will be available for purchase from Coos Brewing Company.
- Casual, small-group conversations about what matters most in our communities.
- Inspiring updates from local partners, including Butch Ladd of the North Country Chamber of Commerce and Brian LaPerle of the North Country Community Recreation Center—both continuing the work started through previous community events.
Childcare Provided!
Thanks to the Colebrook Key Club, parents can enjoy the evening knowing kids will be having fun nearby at the Colebrook Academy & Elementary School cafeteria—with free pizza and fall-themed activities. (Sign up on the RSVP link.)
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED, AS WE HAVE REACHED MAX CAPACITY. Space is limited—please RSVP HERE by November 10. Once capacity is reached we will close the sign ups, so don’t delay! This meal is free thanks to sponsors, but if you want to bring a shelf-stable food item to donate to a local food pantry, you are welcome to. We will distribute them where most needed to support our local community members.
Special thanks to our event sponsors– Canaan Naturally Connected, Eversource, and Bangor Savings Bank, and to all the community partners helping make this evening possible.
