EATON column by Nancy

Just to set the record
straight, no, I did not do any “snow dances” for this
storm. However, when I do put in an order, so to speak, this
is exactly what I would have asked for: two feet of fluffy, light
snow with no rain and no ice. BUT NOT in the spring. Did I love
this storm? Yes, it is beautiful, light, easy to move, with no
ice, just not this late in the year. Hey, we live in New Hampshire,
right? Many thanks to all the plow people in Eaton for a job
well done all winter.
I’m sure that most
of you now know the wonderful news that the Snowvillage Inn has
been sold and even better, it will remain an inn and restaurant,
so our beloved inn is still there for all of us. Congratulations
to Jen and Kevin, who will finally have some real time off to
travel or do whatever they want. Congratulations to JJ and Theresa
who will be taking over, and you can meet them on Wednesday,
April 3, up at SVI. This will be an Open House for a send off
to our beloved Jen and Kevin and a huge welcome to the new owners.
Put this date down on your calendar now. This is a win/win situation
where everyone will be happy, if a bit melancholy as well. See
you on April 3rd. Also on Sunday, April 7th, from 5:00 to 8:30
p.m., SVI will be open for dinner for anyone who wants to celebrate
the day before the eclipse. Come join your friends in a special
place.
Congratulations to all
the people who were elected at our town election. Robin (Willis)
Nuccio, our new Town Clerk/ Tax Collector will be making her
hours on Wednesdays from 8 to 5. This change will be effective
as of May 1, 2024. The Deputy Clerk position now needs to be
filled as soon as possible. Anyone interested, please call town
Hall at 447-2840. For the rest of March and April, the hours
will still be on Tuesdays. The town office will be closed on
April 30th.
People in town want
you all to know that on Wednesday, March 27, you’re invited
to the Mountain Top Music Center Community Orchestra directed
by Laurie S. Turley, who will present “Spring Into Light,”
an orchestral celebration in song featuring music of light and
color by local composers: Ken Turley, Ellen Schwindt and Andrew
Dabcynski, and some not so local: Beethoven, Debussy, Strauss,
Vivaldi and many more, with a featured chorus of child singers
and older ones, too. Doors and Concessions 6 p.m. and Performance
7 p.m. Admission by donation at the Majestic Theatre in Conway.
One of our favorite
musicians, Alana MacDonald and her band, will be performing at
the Stone Mountain Arts Center in Brownfield on Friday, May 18th.
She very often sells out, so buy your tickets now. Woohoo, Alana,
we love you!
