The Cooper is in Town!





The Lebanon Festival Committee is excited to announce that we will be having Ron Raiselis, the cooper for Strawberry Banke in Portsmouth, NH with us all day at the Lebanon Festival! Ron is one of the few active cooper's in New England and is a wonderful addition to our festival.

"Ron started his journey as a cooper in Sturbridge Village in the 1970's and trained with cooper Lenny Julian. Ron has gone on to become a master cooper himself and is an expert at making barrels for dry goods and barrels that can hold liquids, called tight kegs or wet cooperage." ~NH State Council on the Arts

We hope you will plan to bring your family to this fun demonstration! For more information on Ron and his work visit him on Facebook!
