what is there to do around Clarement, NH

We are heading up to Claremont the first of April. We will be there for 4 months. Please give suggestions on what to do, where to eat, fairs, ect.

Thanks

BJ Brickers is VERY good, and very reasonably priced. KILLER prime rib.
As to anyhting else.....bring gas money. There is next to nothing to do in Claremont. Near enough to Sunapee though, lake and mountain. The only reason I go to Claremont is because they have a super walmart. Our is a plain old one in Lebanon.
