While researching wedding venues in New Hampshire  for the website, I noticed this little tidbit I thought I'd pass along: Alyson's Orchard near Walpole, New Hampshire is not only a fabulous place for a wedding, but it's also the site of a Bridal Gala on Sunday, October 24.

This bridal show will feature up to 40 of the Monadnock Regions best wedding professionals, as well as hors d'oeuvres and wine, AND the chance to win a 7-day condo vacation. And, if you're one of the first 100 brides attending the gala, you can receive a 3-day/2-night trip. The gala begins at 12:00 and ends at 3:00. Admission is $10.00.  Oh, and each of the 40 vendors will also be giving away a special price which relates to their businesses.

Now, about Alyson's Orchard.  Located near Walpole, NH, Alyson's is a 500-acre working orchard with several special outside venues, including in the orchard, on a hill overlooking the town of Walpole, and near a pond.
