EATON column by Nancy

Hey, did you miss me?
I’m sure Carol did a wonderful job while I was down in Florida
for 6 days visiting very special friends from long ago, like
high school??? I’m sorry to have missed Town Meeting, probably
my only one, and yes, I would have voted for the Rec. Center.
Sorry, people. Thanks to all the bakers for their famous baked
goods and congratulations to all the winners. I hope everyone
voted, because it is our right and privilege in the USA.
The Eaton Community
Circle will be taking their booklet “Welcome to Eaton”
(a booklet given out to those who are new to Eaton) to the printers
in April for its second printing. Last call for those who have
businesses here in Eaton to advertise for free. If you provide
a service, sell a product, make a craft, etc., this is the perfect
way to let those newcomers know what is available right here
in Eaton. We need the name of the business, phone number, owner’s
name, e-mail, and a brief description of your business. You can
e-mail Jeanne Hartman at stenclgrl@hotmail.com no later than
April 1st. Please get this out to her soon. It is a great way
for new people in Eaton to know the talented people (we have
artists, carpenters, jewelry makers, an old-book binder for a
few) that live in this little town. Some of you newcomers might
want to add your business listing, too.
Snowvillage Inn and
Max’s Restaurant and Pub is pleased to welcome the art of
Aurora Winkler in the gallery for the months of March and April
Thanks to all who came out for the opening reception last Thursday,
March 14. “We are delighted to have Aurora’s work in
the Gallery here at the Inn. Her vibrant colors and sense of
movement light up her work as well as our Inn,” says Jen
Kovach, Owner/Innkeeper at the Snowvillage Inn in Eaton. Aurora
Winkler lives and works in western Maine. She received a BFA
from Sierra Nevada College on Lake Tahoe in Nevada. Her work
has been shown at the Portland Art Gallery in Portland, Maine;
Barba Contemporary Art in Palm Springs, California; The Jackson
Art Gallery and Studio in Jackson, New Hampshire; Harvest Gold
Gallery in Lovell, Maine; and online with Oeuvre Fine art as
well as The UGallery. Her website is aurorawinklerart.com for
more information. Come on up and view her vivid colors and have
a delicious meal as well.
The Inn at Crystal Lake
and Palmer House Pub in Eaton has more movies to add to their
Wednesday Movie Nights. This week, March 20th is “The Favourite,”
(Best Actress); on 3/27, is “Bohemian Rhapsody,” (Best
Actor); and on 4/3 is “Green Book” (Best Picture and
Best Supporting Actor). In my opinion, everyone should see “Green
Book.” Other than staring at Viggo Mortensen (sorry, I love
Viggo), the acting is superb and the story is powerful about
the way of life in the South in the ‘60s.
The next Opera Dinner
will be held on Friday, April 19, The Art of Auditioning. What
happens at an opera audition? With the help of four young singers,
we’ll walk you through the process on how a singer decides
what to sing, and how the audition panel chooses what they want
to hear. This will the the fourth time we have done this type
of program and it is always exciting to hear the “Opera
Stars of Tomorrow!” $65 per person includes a four-course
dinner by Chef/Innkeeper, Bobby Barker (price does not include
alcohol, tax or gratuity.) Dinners start at 6:30 p.m., performances
begin at 7:00, and are hosted by Tim Ostendorf - innkeeper, bartender
and classically trained singer. After this Opera Dinner, there
is only one more in May. Get out and celebrate spring (I think).
It is maple syrup time.
This weekend is the 24th Annual NH maple Syrup Weekend and Maine
Maple Sunday. What better way to celebrate than with maple syrup
sweetened chocolate? Local chocolatier and wellness consultant
Beth Nagle Griffin will be selling her handcrafted organic chocolate
as part of the festivities at Sap Hound Maple Company in Brownfield,
ME on Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24 from 9 a.m. to
4 p.m. Beth sweetens her chocolate using Sap Hounds organic pure
maple syrup for smooth, flavorful and nutritious chocolate. There’s
nothing like it. The Sap Hound Maple Company is located at 414
Center Conway Road in Brownfield, ME. This sweet, seasonal community
event is a great way to celebrate spring.
