Your morning news and notes for Nov. 13.

Get your Craft Fair applications in. Merrimack High School Annual Craft Fair will be the Saturday before Thanksgiving from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at 36 McElwain St. Merrimack. The fair is a fundraiser to help the senior class raise needed money for their senior week activities as well as their class gift. This is the last week to get your applications in to be a vendor. E-mail Lisa.Perrault@merrimack.k12.nh.us for an application to be sent your way. Booth spaces cost $40, $50 or $60 for 6x10, 8x10, 10x10 spaces respectively.

NH Musician voted off 'The Voice.' Josh Logan's run on the Voice came to an end on Tuesday night. The New Hampshire musician, who was part of team Christina, couldn't muster enough of the fan vote to stay in the competition. Logan made it to the Top 12 in the NBC singing competition. Logan was saved from elimination by his coach, Christina Aguilera last week, and was part of an instant save competition on Twitter but lost out to Kat Robichaud. Congratulations to Logan on a great run that ended too soon.

Food drive leaderboard. The official results are in for the first food drive weigh in! After the first 12 days, Merrimack Police are in the lead with 451 pounds over the Public Works Department's 306 pounds. The two departments are engaged in a friendly competition until Jan. 1 to see who can collect the most food for the local food pantries. In the end, it all goes to help feed local families in need. Make your donations at the police station at 31 Baboosic Lake Road or at the town Highway Garage at 86 Turkey Hill Road. 

Weather watch. Another cold day today. The National Weather Service is calling for sunny skies, but only a high near 36. Tonight will be partly cloudy, with a low around 25.
