During a Municipal Election year, the November issue of The Hampton Gazette is delivered to all households so that residents have important voting information, including a sample ballot, and all of the candidates’ statements regarding their qualifications for the offices they seek. This also ensures that people who are new to Hampton are apprised that a town newspaper is free to everyone who lives here. To subscribe, simply contact us at hamptongazette@yahoo.com with your name and address and the Gazette will be delivered to you monthly.

We also take this annual opportunity to thank those listed whose generous donations helped fund the newspaper this year. A self-addressed envelope is enclosed in this issue; thank you in advance for your continued support. We thank all who contributed news this year — of municipal governance, local schools and students, town organizations, and nature preserves, and those who shared historic and humorous articles, recipes, opinions, poems, photographs, and advice. Last and far from least, we thank those who advertise their goods and services on our pages. It is an honor to promote your enterprises in our newspaper.

In this month of gratitude, we are ever grateful of the privilege of living in this town and among these neighbors.

Happy Thanksgiving, Hampton!
