All are invited to the
cider pressing of heritage apples at the Jenkins’ Farm at
381 Towle Hill Road, South Eaton, on Saturday, October 28 from
10:00 a.m. until finished. This is a true potluck gathering,
bringing folks together to make great cider and have fun working,
watching, drinking, and eating. This cider is truly delicious!
There is a sign-up sheet for Eaton townspeople who want to buy
(a donation) this awesome cider. If you have any questions, please

is 30 miles per hour and only goes up to 35 coming and going
from the center of town. PLEASE slow down when you head through
town. We have children, animals, people crossing the road to
go to the Eaton Village Store to eat, get groceries, or pick
up their mail. It should not be dangerous to cross the road!
We are a small village with people who like to walk down to the
beach to enjoy the foliage or picnic at the Grove. Please show
consideration.
The Selectmen of Eaton
declared October 20, 21, 22 as Law Enforcement/First Responder
Appreciation Days at the Carroll County Fish and Game Club in
Madison, NH. I would like to thank the Selectmen for this, because
every single day, we should be appreciating the police, firemen,
EMT’s and first responders for the great job they are doing.
We need to thank them all for their dedication and service to
our communities. THANK YOU!

I hope many of you were
able to experience the most exciting Halloween Town at Camp Tohkomeupog
at Purity Spring Resort. By far, it is the most amazing event
where hundreds of dressed up people, young and old, walk all
around the camp’s cabins and up the East Madison Road to
get totally scared by all the ghouls, monsters, grim reapers,
and ghosts everywhere they look. For a few hours the place is
packed, and then everything and everyone goes away. Absolutely
incredible. What a great job.
