A NH project...

[Bobby Casey]

I love the idea of this and would contribute if I had some time and
energy.  I've written a few Python scrapers before, but those were all
years ago and one-offs. If you could share some details about how you've
developed the ones you're presently using then I can try to take a look
if/when I have some spare time. I assume most lists could be easily
developed and maintained with one of the many Python web scraping
libraries, although I have little to no experience with them.

Here's a random list of events and sources that immediately come to mind:

   - Chunky's has a lot of sporting events, classic movies, etc that I
   often wish I knew about sooner
   - Canobie Lake Park has a lot of special dates, events, and shows
   - Salem NH has a summer concert series in the "Field of Dreams" park
   - The visitnh.gov website has a list of festivals that I only seem to
   look at after the interesting events occur (
   https://www.visitnh.gov/things-to-do/event-calendar/festivals  )
   - Not in NH, but Lowell has a great set of festivals and concerts
   - There are several lists of beer festivals, Oktoberfests, etc

Thanks for getting this started.
