Nanette
There's a lot about this area
that I find enchanting.

2
00:00:05.405 --> 00:00:09.743
The people are open, friendly, helpful.

3
00:00:09.776 --> 00:00:14.547
It's a great area, just in 
terms of the environment,

4
00:00:14.547 --> 00:00:18.585
outdoor activities, and 
you meet people from all over.

5
00:00:18.585 --> 00:00:22.222
So there's a wide range of
opportunity to meet and share,

6
00:00:22.222 --> 00:00:24.324
in the business sense 
and in the personal.

7
00:00:24.324 --> 00:00:26.993
Hanna - Often, we're talked 
about as the gateway to the
Lake Sunapee Region.

8
00:00:26.993 --> 00:00:29.629
It's fresh air, it's clean, 
it's wholesome.

9
00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:34.100
You know, and you can't really 
beat hiking in the morning,

10
00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:36.002
going to the beach 
in the afternoon

11
00:00:36.002 --> 00:00:38.304
and then going to a family
owned restaurant at night.

12
00:00:38.304 --> 00:00:41.241
It's just, there's so much 
of that to do in the area.

13
00:00:41.241 --> 00:00:44.744
LeAnne -
So, here in the Kearsarge area, 
we have an amazing population

14
00:00:44.744 --> 00:00:46.279
with a little bit of everything.

15
00:00:46.279 --> 00:00:49.115
It's a great place to visit 
because we're always happy

16
00:00:49.115 --> 00:00:51.418
when people come in, but 
it's also a great place to live.

17
00:00:51.418 --> 00:00:54.020
Nanette- There's so many things, 
there's so much history here,

18
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:57.524
and it's easy for you 
to get it anywhere.

19
00:00:57.524 --> 00:01:00.927
LeAnne - In the past, I've lived
in bigger towns or bigger cities

20
00:01:00.927 --> 00:01:03.963
or bigger subdivisions where
everything's lots of
“samey-samey,”

21
00:01:03.963 --> 00:01:07.100
and here you get this 
great mix of people,

22
00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:10.270
you get the great mix of 
old, historic homes

23
00:01:10.270 --> 00:01:11.571
and then you get new homes,

24
00:01:11.571 --> 00:01:12.872
which you don't get out west.

25
00:01:12.872 --> 00:01:16.943
Hanna - We're really careful 
to keep putting our dollars

26
00:01:16.943 --> 00:01:19.612
into those businesses so 
that they can sustain themselves.

27
00:01:19.612 --> 00:01:21.214
We're really careful
to emphasize

28
00:01:21.214 --> 00:01:22.582
the importance of a Main Street.

29
00:01:22.582 --> 00:01:24.250
Nanette - 
Being involved through the

30
00:01:24.250 --> 00:01:26.486
chamber has helped me
to build my business.

31
00:01:26.486 --> 00:01:28.955
LeeAnne - The nice thing is 
that we're doing things together

32
00:01:28.955 --> 00:01:31.391
and we're doing 
a lot of networking

33
00:01:31.391 --> 00:01:33.593
with more than one chamber, 
so that's great.

34
00:01:33.593 --> 00:01:36.529
So, they're really committed 
to serving all of their members

35
00:01:36.529 --> 00:01:40.066
equally and bringing them into 
the same space to share

36
00:01:40.066 --> 00:01:41.835
what's awesome 
about where we live.

37
00:01:41.835 --> 00:01:43.803
Nanette - There's a lot 
that you can find here.

38
00:01:43.803 --> 00:01:46.172
You know, to stimulate your 
mind as well as your body.

39
00:01:46.172 --> 00:01:48.741
So, this is an excellent place 
to kind of,

40
00:01:48.741 --> 00:01:51.611
get my feet wet and really 
learn how to grow a business.
