Amherst Citizen Photo AMHERST – The Renaud family has moved their full service meat shop from Pennichuck Square to 123 Route 101A in Amherst, next to Sports Authority. Today, brothers John and JasonRenaud manage the shop and provide customers with personalized service from selecting the right cut of meat, to helping with recipes and suggesting the perfect combination of sauses, rubs and spices. After about 10 years of working in and watching the supermarket meat service industry change, John developed the idea of opening his own shop. One that provided only the highest quality and freshest products. After all, for years his father was already making his delicious home-made BBQ sauce for the family, so why not offer it along with quality meats among other popular food products? Bare Bonz Butcher Shop specializes in offering all-natural, hormonefree Certified Black Angus Beef, free range poultry and naturally fed pork, as well as a wide variety of ex- otic meats from alligator to rabbit. On weekends, they’ll have marinated lamb ready for purchase. Jason further emphasized that “We can provide just about any kind of meat product for custom orders including holiday turkeys and hams with a few days advance notice”. The shop offers over a dozen combination meat packages at competitive prices ideal for large gatherings or storage. “We can order a side of beef, then cut and wrap for a customer’s freezer,” added John. With increased floor and freezer space now available, they also carry Boar’s Head deli meats and cheeses, Maine seafood, including flash frozen shrimp, tuna and swordfish, Alaska king crab legs, and Maryland crabcakes. North Country Packaged Meats are a new category from Claremont as well as a variety of frozen pies finish out most of the food lines, with more to come. Check out the floor displays stocked with pickles, sauces, marinades, rubs, and spices. Antiques at Mayfair Is New S.H.A.R.E.

Internet Business Turns Homes into the Ultimate Vacation Destination NASHUA – A new local Internet Business, www.UltimateManRoom. com, brings the fun back into being at home. Bernie Culliton of Nashua, NH has found the solution. He wants to put the Fun back into family living by having Fun at Home. Americans work so hard from day to day and they need and deserve to have an outlet for their hectic and busy lives. More and more people are looking for entertainment. The new website, www.UltimateManRoom.com will turn your home into the neighborhood’s best Vacation Destination. Friends, family and people that you didn’t realize were friends, will be going out of their way to spend time with you. There will be fun, excitement and memories made every day. UltimateManRoom.com provides products and services to transform your basement to the family entertainment venue you’ve always dreamed of. U.M.R. features full size Arcade Games, Pinball Machines, Foosball, Pool tables, Ping-Pong Tables, Board Games, Poker Supplies, Sports Memorabilia, Bar Supplies, Theatre Furniture and a whole lot more. To compliment these great products www.UltimateManRoom. com also supplies a lot of free information including: Online Interior Design Tips, DIY Ideas, Great Party Food Recipes, Jokes, Health tips, Sports Information all in a free blog format. Not only can you login to get this information, those with a creative mind can contribute content by leaving a comment to the blogs or by emailing Mr. Ultimate Man Room himself, bernie@ultimatemanroom.com. A year ago, U.M.R. was an idea that emerged from Bernie’s awareness that the American Cultural Phenomenon known as the Man Room, Man Cave, Man Land, Man Town or Theatre Room and the people who wanted or owned these spaces in their homes, had no venue to find those things they have always wanted. You invite your friends over to watch a playoff game of your favorite team. You have autographed pictures of your childhood heroes on the wall. Your friends are impressed with that awesome chili that you made. All the kids are in the background playing pool, pingpong or an arcade game. Believe it or not, they are all getting along! The team wins and everyone is having the time of their lives. Now that’s an Ultimate Man Room Moment! It doesn’t always matter that everything matches or you put the big Celtics poster next to the little Pats poster. What’s important is the feeling you get when friends and family get together, have fun with each other and enjoy the afternoon. If the esthetics are essential, U.M.R. has the resources to help you with that as well. Maybe at this time you think that this site is programmed only with men in mind. Although it’s named UltimateManRoom.com, this site encompasses family values as well. It’s a great way for women to manage the coordination and design of the basement as the concept is being developed. Some of the key personnel joining Culliton include: Mark Swidler of Nashua, NH as the V.P. of Marketing. Dr. Steve Dohoney of Nashua, NH provides Men’s and General Health Tips in the Health Blog on U.M.R. and Melissa Swidler provides Design and DIY tips. 603-673-1775 Antique Reproduction Colonial REDUCED over 4+ located on private acres. 5 bedrooms, MONT VERNON, NH 4 baths, 4 car garage, story Open concept Contemporary heated barn, heated inCape 6 rms, 3 bdrms, 2 baths. ground pool, priv. pond & Cathedral ceilings,perennials waterfall, orchards, fireplace, new maple kitchen. garden and meadows.
