Crankies

The Chocorua Lake Crankie was inspired by the Chocorua Lake Conservancy's 50th anniversary and the Yeoman's Fund for the Arts Chocorua Story Booth Project, and was created during the summer of 2018 by a group of artists ages seven to seventy-something. The stories told within it are generally true!

In late January of 2020, the Chocorua Lake Conservancy and the Cook Memorial Library collaborated on what turned out to be the last indoor workshop for a long time. Participants learned about winter ecology and some of the adaptations that allow trees, plants, and animals (including humans) to survive through cold northern winters. Participants deepened and shared their learning through the creation of communally-written haiku and this painted crankie
