We have many interesting
places to go this holiday season, especially for music, cookies
or food. I will start off with music: December 9th come to the
Little White Church to hear pianist/composer, Dana Cunningham,
and singer/songwriter, Carol Noonan, perform their fun routine
in honor of the Christmas season. The doors open at 7:00 p.m.
and the concert begins at 7:30. To attend this performance, you
must purchase your ticket from the Stone Mountain Arts Center
Box Office. Tickets will be held at the church door.
On Saturday, December
10th come back to our Little White Church for a special performance
of Dana Cunningham, with special guest, Mike Sakash on the saxophone
beginning at 4:00 p.m. If you had to miss either of these concerts,
come to our Little White Church for a solo performance by pianist/composer,
Dana Cunningham, on Sunday, December 11th at 4:00 p.m. Enjoy
this lovely music at the renowned Little White Church. Dana’s
new release, “Homecoming,” Songs of Comfort and Joy,
will be available for purchase at the concerts. Believe me, this
one is really special and I am lucky enough to have a copy! (Tickets
for the Saturday and Sunday concerts are available at White Birch
Books, the Eaton Village Store, and on line at www.danacunningham.com)
To finish the concerts
at the LWC, come join Puckerbrush (Celtic contradance band) and
the Promise Singers (women’s singing group from Bridgton,
Maine) for a relaxing evening of holiday music at our church
in Eaton on Friday, December 16th at 7:00 p.m. There are no tickets
or reservations needed for this event. Donations at the door
will benefit the awe-inspiring Little White Church. Refreshments
will be served after the program. All are welcome.
Now for the cookies
and more music: Saturday and Sunday, December 10th and 11th
both of our Inns here in Eaton, one the Inn at Crystal Lake,
where you can also enjoy Cassandra Marsh on the piano, while
you are munching on your cookies. Head over to the Snowvillage
Inn for the cookie tour on the same two days. (I’m hungry
already.)
Speaking of food, on
Sunday, December 11th Snowvillage Inn will also be putting on
a Craft Fair and luncheon from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The fair
will be supporting our local businesses and the food there is
always delicious. Also at the Snowvillage Inn, you may come to
the Local’s Party on Wednesday, December 14th, from 5 to
8:30 p.m. for a four-course dinner for $39.95. This is also a
fund-raiser for the Freedom Food Pantry where they are hoping
for shampoo soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and feminine products,
plus dog and cat food and kitty litter.
Two future events will
also take place at Snowvillage Inn: Saturday, December 24th Christmas
Eve dinner from 4:30 to 7:30. On New Year’s Eve, December
31st, you can enjoy a great 6-course dinner with live music from
5 to 9 p.m. for $139 per person.
We, the Board of the
South Eaton Eaton Meeting House Association, would like to thank
the community for their support of our events this year, the
Dessert and Bake Sale in July, Yard Sale in September, and Annual
Ecumenical Service in November. All were successful and well-attended.
Over the winter while the Meeting House is closed, we will be
planning events for 2023. In the meantime check out our website
at southeatonmeetinghouse.org Please contact us if you have
any ideas or would like to become a member.
Notice from the Eaton
Town Hall: The Eaton Town Clerk’s office will be closed
on Tuesday, December 27.
