Ashland, NH 03217

When:

Saturday, July 28, 2018
From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Background:

The picture postmark is free. We will apply the postmark on any envelope that has proper postage, making it a first class souvenir of the day. The postmark bears an image of a local covered bridge and was provided at the request of the Ashland 150th Celebration Committee.

“It's a postmark that is more than circles and bars, it is a picture that tells a story” says Ashland Postmaster Andrea Correia

People attending the local event may obtain the postmark in person at the ballpark. If you miss the ballpark event, but wish to obtain the postmark, you may submit a mail order request. Pictorial postmarks are available only with the dates indicated, and requests must be postmarked no later than 30 days following the pictorial postmark date.

Customers wishing to obtain a postmark should affix First-Class Mail postage to any envelope or postcard, address the envelope or postcard and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or postcard in a larger envelope and address it to Postmaster, followed by Ashland Post Office, 142 Main St. Ashland, MA 03217-9998.

After applying the pictorial postmark, the Postal Service returns the items (with or without addresses) under addressed protective cover.
