Board of Aldermen — 9/26/17 Page 2
Finally, Mr. President, | wanted to mention the New England Roots Festival which is the music festival that we
have going this coming weekend. If you look at the schedule, this is being sponsored by GAD and by the River
Casino over on High Street. If you look at the schedule, you will see that there are four venues: Main Street,
Bicentennial, Railroad Square, and we have a whole number of performers. There are a couple of Grammy
nominated groups or singers that are coming in. They, Paul Shea and Ben Ruddick, have done a fantastic job
in programming this. They continue to improve the music offerings in downtown and in Nashua. | would
encourage everyone to come, bring your families. | went with my wife last year. The offerings weren’t as
extensive as this, but it was really a good time. | think people really enjoyed the music. | think you will find the
quality of the performers to be very, very high.
RESPONSE TO REMARKS OF THE MAYOR
President McCarthy
I’d just like to say that my street was ground-down last week and has had its base coat of pavement put on it.
I’m happy to see that after living there for nearly 40 years.
Alderman Deane
If anyone on the Board wants to see some of the micro-surfacing, you can go down to the South High School,
follow Riverside all the way down. It was done rather quickly and it seems to have bonded real nice. It’s going to
be nice to see our roadways paved. Thank you.
