White Mountain Oil’s 39th Bratwurst Broil and Open House – June 9th

NORTH CONWAY NH – White Mountain Oil & Propane is well known for our famous “Open House and Bratwurst Broil” held every June at our North Main Street, North Conway store. We had held various open houses and cookouts over the history of the company but have produced the “Bratwurst Broil” for 38 consecutive years on a Friday in June.

Our planned events for 2020, 2021 and 2022 were all postponed for various reasons including Covid-19. However, we are planning on holding this event on June 9th, 2023.

We are hoping to experience (our usual) very little rain that day. Ordinarily our open House is from 10:00-4:00 with the grills  going from 11:00-2:00 pm only. There are usually door prizes and other giveaways!

Before the Bratwurst Broil, White Mountain Oil hosted many other events. Below, members of the community are shown enjoying an early open-house at our Main Street-North Conway showroom, which included a cake baking contest.
