Here are the top stories today in Bedford:

1. A popular foodie Tik Toker had praise for a Bedford Café that offers a "pancake flight," pancakes arranged on a large plate or serving board with a variety of toppings. Joseph, known on Tik Tok as theroamingfoodie, travels all over New England posting videos about local restaurants he visits. He raved about the unique pancake flight he ordered at The Purple Finch Cafe in Bedford. A shout out to new owners Nicole Leavitt and Samantha Courtois who recently purchased the popular Bedford eatery from founding owners, Jeffrey and Julie Marshall.

2. If you have a small business, or know someone who does, certain banks and lenders in New Hampshire are offering loans to small businesses that are guaranteed by the SBA. A Small Business Administration loan guarantee means that if a small business fails to repay the loan, the lender can recover a high percentage of the outstanding balance from the SBA, according to the SBA.gov website. That's good news for small businesses in New Hampshire looking for funding. The list of lenders offering SBA loans in Bedford include: BankProv, Eastern Bank, MembersFirst Credit Union, Primary Bank and Service Credit Union.
