EATON column by Nancy E. Williams 4/6/21 447-5635
I’m writing this
on Easter Sunday, so I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter.
I hope you all received Easter baskets of some kind, colored
eggs, chocolates, peeps, jelly beans, fresh flowers, and bunnies,
because we had such a beautiful day for a celebration. Spring
has sprung and we are all waiting for what is in store. Hopefully,
we can resume hugging, go out to eat more, enjoy each other’s
company, and take walks in our beautiful town. Think positive
and enjoy the sunshine.
Our new Town Clerk/Tax
Collector’s Office is open on Mondays from 8 a.m. until
12 p.m. and on Tuesdays, from 2 to 6 p.m. Give Heather McKendry
a call at 447-2840 if you have any questions.
I meant to add this
two weeks ago, and I hope it gets in this Tuesday, because it
involves a Blood Drive on 4/7/21. The Ossipee Chalmers Group
Blood Drive on Wednesday this week is hosting an American Red
Cross blood drive on April 7 from 11 to 4:30 at the Center Ossipee
Town Hall gym. You can sign up right on the redcrossblood.org
website to pick a time and note if you are a first time donor.
The need for blood is constant and only volunteers can fulfill
that need for patients in and around our communities.
The Snowvillage Inn
in Eaton is pleased to host the paintings of Sandi Poor for the
months of April and May. An Artist Reception will take place
on Wednesday, April 7 from 4 to 6 p.m. A cheese and cracker platter
will be provided by the artist, and beverages will be available
for purchase. The artist reception is free and the public is
invited to attend. Sandi’s passion for drawing and painting
began at an early age and the Arts have been an important part
of her life. Now, as a semi-retired healthcare consultant, she
has finally found the time to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming
an artist.
Though mostly self-taught,
Sandi has attended many local and nationally acclaimed workshops.
She was a participating member of the Ellis River Art Gallery
and is currently on the board of the Mount Washington Valley
Arts Association and the “Friday Painters Group.” She
has exhibited at the Ellis River Art Gallery and Cafe, the Darby
Field Inn, and Sandi had a solo exhibit at M&D Productions.
Watercolor is her favorite medium. She continues her artistic
growth, increasing her knowledge and mastering techniques with
ongoing workshops and fellowship with other artists. Come see
her great talent this Wednesday and for the next two months at
the Snowvillage Inn in Eaton.
Make sure to come for
a beverage and a fabulous dinner at the Snowvillage Inn from
Wednesday to Saturday. Give a call at 447-2818 to make a reservation.
Hey, it is almost warm enough to sit on their lovely porch. I’m
there at least one night a week. You will not be disappointed.
The Eaton Village Store
continues to offer all sorts of special recipes along with their
breakfast and lunch menus Thursdays through Sundays from 8 to
2. This week they made a mac and cheese with smoked beef and
peas, which my family will be eating for Easter dinner. The pizzas
on Friday night have been a big hit. Go to their website and
see all the choices you have, including salads, soups, cookies,
quiches, and more. Just call Justin and Kate at EVS at 447-2403
and make up a delicious order. Great food. (You can also order
beer, wine, and some groceries.)
Don’t forget about
our Little Field Farm stand on Rt. 153 just north of King Pine.
Every Saturday from 10 until 5, they serve up the most delectable
croissants (ham and cheese, almond, chocolate), all sorts of
heavenly pastries, Peter’s famous bread (secret family recipe),
and several choices of New York style pizzas which will knock
your socks off. Call 447-1824 to make an order. Think about it,
not so long from now, they will have a ton of fresh produce as
well. Order this Saturday. Aren’t we lucky here in Eaton
to have so many offerings nearby? Let’s shake off those
winter and Covid blues by going outside and having some great
food.
