Here is the latest blog from Andy Knight, Waterville Valley Resort's blogger laureate and president of the Waterville Valley Foundation.Last Friday night was the grand opening of the new 1829 boutique in [Waterville Valley, NH] Town Square.  As happens a lot around here, the faithful were out in force, shopping, chatting, hanging.  It is a lovely store — a harbinger of the future, I hope — and the welcoming crowd brought a positive vibe.  As I scanned around at all the familiar faces, some weekenders and some residents, I thought about the strange gravity that brings us all back here, or makes us stay.  The old marketing campaign, “Love”, really wasn’t too far off the mark.  With that thought, I give you the first twenty-one reasons I could think of why you should abandon the comforts o... 10/11/2011

The other night I watched The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (my guilty pleasure!), which showcases the glamorous "real" lives of purportedly wealthy women from - you guessed it - Beverly Hills! In Monday's episode, one of the cast members threw a party to raise funds for her favorite children's charity.  She invited all her fab friends, collected out-of-this-world swag and auction items, including perfume from Paris Hilton and dinner certificates from swanky Beverly Hills restaurants. She hired a professional party planner with a bustling staff who fitted up the party location with elegant decorations and served up gourmet nibbles.  At the end of the show she proudly announced that she raised $15,000 the charity.Now, compare the Beverly Hills soiree to last Saturday's Waterville Vall... 09/29/2011
