Lorri RodierFree Keene welcomes longtime local and entrepreneur Lorri Rodier as our newest blogger. Here’s her bio as it appears on our Bloggers page:

Lorri lives in the Keene area, and has almost her whole life. She’s the mother of three children, and runs a small business. She loves NH, raising her family here, and recommends it to others looking for a good place to live. The only thing that would make NH even better, in her opinion, is if we could truly be the “Free State”. She hopes to help make this happen.
