Merrymaking MHT

Meet the Merrymakers

The Merrymakers are a group of neighbors and change-makers living in the historic district (HiDi) in downtown Manchester.

We all have different backgrounds, but share many common threads - including a passion for community engagement. We aim to use this event and the several others we plan throughout the year to get to know our neighbors and local business owners. Our overall goal is to celebrate the history of the HiDi and maintain its unique charm.

Amy

Amy has lived in the HiDi since 2020. You can find her pretty much everywhere around Manchester, through her work in real estate and the Manchester Development Corp.

Dana & Peter

Dana & Peter have lived in the HiDi since 2019, and are widely considered the life of the party. Catch them hosting many events on their perfectly maintained lawn while spoiling their princess pup, Topaz.

Theresa

Maybe the happiest person you’ll ever meet, Theresa is our very own ray of sunshine - and a fundraising champion! You’ve probably seen her running in every Millennium Running race in town or taking her pup, Stella, for a walk around town.

Kathleen

A resident of the HiDi since 2020, Kathleen is the self-appointed aunt (and favorite person?) of Topaz. When she’s not keeping us all in line, you can find her on the golf course, lost in a good book, cooking, or watching rom-coms with Topaz.

Tucker

Tucker joined the Merrymakers and Downtown Manchester Neighbors’ Network in 2025.

Alyson & Nick

Alyson & Nick have lived in the HiDi since 2016. When Alyson is not single-handedly keeping us all organized, you can usually catch them maintaining their impressive urban garden on W. Merrimack, featuring fresh blueberries and figs!

Molly

Molly has lived in the HiDi since 2018, and is definitely mainly recognized for her dog, Oscar. Better known as the Mayor of Downtown, Oscar keeps Moly busy taking her on walks to all the stores in town that keep treats on hand.
