EATON column by Nancy

The Stone Mountain Arts
Center in Brownfield was sure rocking a week ago Saturday night
with the Alana MacDonald Band’s stellar performance. Alana
MacDonald, Teg Glendon, Robbie Coffin, and Mike McGinnis were
so dynamite that the rafters shook. I think half of Eaton was
there, as well, including most of “my” table of 16
people. The fabulous music and singing, the very funny jokes
and banter, and the seamless bond between band members and the
audience, made this one of the absolute best concerts ever. I
just talked to Alana, and she wants to thank everyone for coming
out and supporting her band. Make sure you follow her; I will
let you know when you can catch this dynamic group of musicians
next. Hey, Simon Crawford, it was super fun to have you join
them on stage. GREAT JOB EVERYONE. (I am still dancing to the
songs.)
Because of some travel
bans due to the Coronavirus, Eaton’s Inn at Crystal Lake’s
Opera Dinner on Thursday March 19 has been postponed. Tim’s
great friend, Catherine Verrilli cannot fly out here. They hope
to reschedule for early June. Stay tuned.
Movie Night Wednesdays
at the Palmer House Pub (Inn at Crystal Lake) will continue with
“JoJo Rabbit” on 3/25, “1917” on 4/1, “Harriet”
on 4/8, “Little Women” on 4/22, and “Judy”
on 4/29.
You cannot miss the Jimmy
Buffet Caribbean Weekend at the Snowvillage Inn in Eaton coming
up on Friday and Saturday, March 20 and 21. You’re encouraged
to dress in special sunny island attire, listen to Mango Groove,
a Steel Drum Band, order a fancy fruity drink and sample the
Caribbean menu. Shed your coat, boots, scarves, and gloves at
the door and relax in a fun, sunny atmosphere with neighbors
and friends.
Again this year, the
Eaton Conservation Commission has funds available to pay part
of the cost for Eaton children between the ages of 4 and 16 to
attend Tin Mountain Conservation Center summer camps. If you
are interested in taking advantage of this offer, please contact
Judy Fowler at 447-5635 before May 10th. The Tin Mountain camp
brochures are available on the bookcase by the door near the
post office.
Suzanne Raiche, Town
Clerk and Tax Collector for Eaton, NH, wants townspeople to try
to do any town business on line instead of coming into the Town
Hall, for everyone’s safety. If you have motor vehicle renewals,
questions about tax issues, or any registrations, just mail your
requests to Suzanne, P.O. Box 118, Eaton NH 03832. If you absolutely
must go to the Town Hall, do so, but if it can be done by mail,
please use this avenue. She suggested going to www.tax kiosk
and choosing your town and state and have your tax map and lot
numbers available, or going to the Town of Eaton website. This
will keep all of us safer. Thanks in advance.
I will end with a funny
poem with Author Unknown about weather in March and April: “Whether
the weather be fine, Whether the weather be not, Whether the
weather be cold, Whether the weather be hot, We’ll weather
the weather, Whatever the weather, Whether we like it or not.”
