Thanks to KPD for leaving this fall’s Free Keene Fest alone – if only they’d done the same to the cub scouts and homeless shelter the day prior.

It hearkens to one of my favorite movies ever and makes me wonder, not for the first time, “Is Keene Pleasantville?”

Please join us for our weekly chat and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 9a-12p. If you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM. The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.
Just out of curiosity, I decided to check the Alexa ratings for FreeKeene.com and KeeneSentinel.com, and what do you know, the nearly four-year-old Free Keene is now beating the over 100-year-old Keene Sentinel!
Here are the current rankings. Lower numbers are better:
Free Keene’s US rating: 60,312
The Sentinel’s US rating: 66,193
Free Keene’s World rating: 234,327
The Sentinel’s World rating: 254,447
Thank you to everyone who reads and participates on this website!

Many businesses and nonprofit organizations name Pumpkin Festival as their most profitable selling day or fundraiser.
But a few fundraisers were cut short by police and festival organizers.
Police shut down three vendors for operating without permits this year.
One of them was the Cub Scout Pack 297 cotton candy booth. (more…)
Here are highlights from a recent Talkback on WKBK. Liberty-minded people call to discuss Free Keene Fest, slave-on-slave violence, and kidnapping.
