A parade honoring the Viking explorer Leif Erikson, an annual giant pumpkin boat race, and a garage completely sided by license plates. Writer Eric Jones crossed the four corners of our state trying to find the most "curious" people, places and events in our state. He found the one and only state hired gull harasser, a slush pond crossing competition and a thirty two year tradition of square dancing around a Randolph gas pump. Today we'll explore some of most quirky and offbeat things in that make the Granite State great. John Clayton hosts. His guest is Eric Jones, author of "New Hampshire Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff".
