Veronica Francis is a New Hampshire storyteller and keynote speaker known for her warm humor, heartfelt insights, and unmistakable North Country charm. Her life has been anything but ordinary, and she brings every colorful chapter to the stage with wit and authenticity.

A North Country Childhood Like No Other

Veronica grew up in Twin Mountain on iconic Route 3, where her family ran a roadside motel, and later built Circus Towne next door featuring a full circus-themed amusement park complete with performers, animals, and summer-long shows.

Her childhood included:

tourists wandering through the yard asking for towels
a backyard circus with elephants and leopards
lost hikers, moose, and unplanned driveway visitors
lemonade stands that evolved into goat-jumping circus acts
a front-row seat to the everyday chaos of life on a busy highway

These stories became the foundation of her signature programs Route 3 Ronnie and Circus Towne Antics, earning her a reputation as one of Littleton, New Hampshire's most delightful storytellers.
