June 1st, NH Bacon and Beer Festival

High Hopes Foundation is excited to announce that the 8th annual Bacon & Beer Festival will return to Merrimack, NH on June 1, 2024! For 40 years, High Hopes Foundation has provided life-enhancing experiences and medical equipment to New Hampshire's terminally and chronically ill children. Bacon & Beer is our primary fundraiser, celebrating greasy, fatty, savory bacon alongside the endless possibilities of well-crafted brews.

The largest sampling event in New Hampshire with 200 samples of beer, bacon & BBQ!! We hope you will join us!

Great brews, awesome bacon dishes and live music will make for a perfect day of fun! We all need a little hope for the future, so thank you for your continued support of High Hopes Foundation and helping us make the dreams of New Hampshire children come alive!

1. Show up on time, 10 minutes early is preferred.
2. Gas tank full, bladder empty.
3. Bike in good working order.
4. Have proper gear with you. (i.e. rain gear, extra warm clothing, helmet if riding in states that require it, tool kit, map, cell phone charged, license, insurance card, money)
5. Positive attitude.

Road Captain will observe when members have completed or nearly completed their lunch and will make an announcement the Club will be leaving in 20 minutes stating the time we should be ready to go.

Club members will use those 20 minutes to finish meals/drinks, pay tab, use restroom and put on any riding gear they will be wearing.

Club encourages that duties be split up between couples to be more efficient.

Purpose of this is to spend more time riding and less time hanging around waiting for people to get ready. No member should consistently be the last one ready.

It is understood that sometimes food/drink order take longer and member is served much later than the rest of the group. In that case all efforts will be made not to rush that member and will be given time to finish their meal. In that case, other members are expected to wait patiently. We came in as one group, and we leave as one group.
