CONCORD — It’s Girl Scout Cookie Weekend in New Hampshire.
Gov. Chris Sununu made the proclamation earlier this week honoring Girl Scouts for investing in the future of girls.
Patricia Mellor, the CEO of Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains, said the cookie program teaches girls five essential skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics.

BIDDEFORD, Maine — Maine prosecutors say New Hampshire will have first dibs on a man who is accused of being married to three women in different states.
Michael Middleton, 43, is being held in Ohio while awaiting extradition to New Hampshire, where he’s charged with bigamy. Officials say he married a New Hampshire woman while also being married to women in Alabama and Georgia.
But Maine prosecutors told the Journal Tribune he also is wanted in Maine for charges of domestic violence assault and violation of a protective order in York County. They said he also is wanted for failure to pay a fine for operating under the influence and operating without a license in Presque Isle. Middleton was arrested in Franklin County, Ohio.
