EATON column by Nancy

I hope you all had a
lovely, satisfying, healthy, Happy Thanksgiving. On that note,
is anyone else still overly full from eating delicious food on
Thanksgiving? I certainly am, but was able to eat eggs, bacon
and an English muffin at EVS on Saturday morning. I think it
is coming close to diet time for me, but everything was just
so delectable! It really is my favorite meal.
The annual Christmas
concerts at our Little White Church in Eaton are in full swing
coming up soon: Saturday, December 6 at 7:30 p.m. (doors open
at 7:00), Carol Noonan and Dana Cunningham will perform their
Christmas concert - tickets available through Stone Mountain
Arts Center. Sunday, December 7 at 4:00 p.m., pianist Dana Cunningham
will perform one solo Christmas concert - tickets available at
the Eaton Village Store, White Birch Books, or on line. Then
on Friday, December 12 at 7:00 p.m., the annual community concert
featuring Candace Maher and Friends will take place (donations
to keep our LWC in its current beautiful state accepted at the
door).
A little more on Candace’s
Dec. 12th concert: Enjoy the Holidays at our lovely church with
this concert featuring Puckerbrush and Friends playing festive
Celtic and Holiday favorites. A luscious string trio, a Holiday
story by Dennis Sullivan, sing-a-along, and refreshments. All
are welcome. For these concerts, get your tickets early; there
is one less concert this year. Thank you for your support of
our Little White Church and the gift of live music!
Snowbrook Creations
(Candace Maher’s artwork) will be holding a Holiday Open
Shop at 17 Stewart Road in Eaton on Saturday, December 6 and
13, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and on Sunday, December 7 from
1:00 to 4:00 p.m. You will find lots of fun gift ideas like cards,
calendars*, books, paintings, prints, and a Gratitude Book with
wise sayings and art work. *All her calendars include full moons,
new moons, meteor showers, holidays, and 15 birthday labels.
Candace will be serving refreshments and doing ornament making.
Stop on in for fun and Gin. Well, no Gin but lots of fun (her
words).
In our recent Town Hall
Tatler, which was just mailed to you with your tax bill, has
many items of interest for all of us. (It is also quite amusing,
with many tongue-in-cheek remarks - thanks, Leanne.) Every 5
years the Town goes through a total evaluation. Our second-generation
assessor, Jason Call, will be visiting properties to adjust their
assessed value for 2026. His truck is well marked with a sign
and he wears proper identification.
To continue, please
review our Cemetery Regulations to know what is permitted besides
the headstones so the maintenance crew can mow more easily. You
need Building Permits if you are adding, remodeling, or building
new, before you begin the work. In case you haven’t heard,
the Town Clerk/Tax Collector’s office is now open on Wednesdays
from 8 a.m until 4 p.m. The Planning and Zoning Boards have openings
for alternate members. Contact the Town Hall or go to a meeting
if you are interested in serving.
Good luck with all your
Christmas festivities and shopping and I’ll be back in two
weeks.
