Watch It Wednesday Movie
Nights continue this week on Wednesday, May 23rd in the Inn at
Crystal Lake’s Palmer House Pub with “I, Tonya.”
Allison Janney won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for this
2017 biographical film about the life of figure skater, Tonya
Harding. It is comical, controversial and very entertaining.
Movie starts at 7 p.m. There is no admission or minimum order
required, but reservations are recommended.
The porch is open at
Max’s Restaurant and Pub at the Snowvillage Inn, so be sure
to come before your reservation for a beverage on the porch and
to enjoy the spectacular views. This week’s Locals’
Night is a Dine to Donate at Max’s on Tuesday, May 22. A
portion of the evening’s proceeds will go to benefit the
Freedom Elementary School Student Council. The locals’ night
menu that evening will include Prime Rib, Baked Haddock, and
Lasagna, as well as a kid’s menu with a choice of Macaroni
and Cheese or Burger and Fries and a Brownie Sundae for $10.
Locals supporting Locals is the name of the game. Please make
your reservation soon at 447-2818.
Save Sunday, May 27
for the very popular spring event, Kayaks and Casseroles, again
being hosted by The Little White Church. All boaters will meet
at the Eaton Beach at 5 p.m. with their decorated water craft.
After boating across Crystal Lake, there will be dinner at the
Little White Church around 6 (non-boaters are welcome to meet
us at the LWC). All the food and drink for the dinner will be
provided. Prizes will be awarded for the decorated boats. We
hope to see you there.
Attention: “Fiddler
comes to the South Eaton Meetinghouse on Sunday, June 3, 2018
at 7 p.m.” The lovely South Eaton Meetinghouse, located
at 402 Burnham Road, corner of Towle Hill Road, in Eaton is proud
to present: “Songs of Emigration: Storytelling Through Traditional
Irish Music,” performed by award winning fiddler and guitarist,
Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki. During this performance Jordan will discuss
the historical context of the songs and stories which convey
some of the adventures, misadventures, and emotions experienced
by Irish emigrants. These songs made their way into New England’s
musical repertoire. While refreshments are being served after
the performance, musicians of all ability levels are welcome
to join Jordan in playing Irish music for half an hour. This
impromptu session promises to be fun for all. For additional
information go to SEMH1844@outlook.com or call 539-4868.
Many thanks from Nan
E. B. for the Price Cookbook left on her front stoop. Who are
you? She would like to thank you personally for this wonderful
gift.
The thirty-four people
who attended the Inn at Crystal Lake’s final Opera Dinner
for this season, were thrilled with the performances, the food,
the joviality, and the ambience. Pianist Cassandra Marsh played
beautifully the whole evening long, sometimes joining in with
the singing as well. The singers - Mary Bastoni, Vanessa Schukis,
and Tim Ostendorf - did a fantastic job from full-on opera tunes,
to operettas, to musicals, and in the second half, a whole score
from the popular musical “Hello, Dolly!” The audience
was enchanted by the camaraderie of the musicians, the poignant
songs, and then the extremely humorous ditties spread throughout
the evening. What a joyous evening for us all. I chose the Cream
of Onion Soup, the BLT salad, the Chicken Piccata, and the Opera
Cake. Everything was outstanding and simply delicious. Many thanks
to Bobby Barker in the kitchen and his staff, and to the waitstaff,
Aimee, Robin, and Catherine. BRAVO!
Stop by the Eaton Village
Store this week to see all the new items for sale for the summer.
We have lots of new t-shirts, and in addition to the EVS mugs
and glassware, we have new NH items as well. Look for the new
cabinet near the check-out counter - it was originally from the
Kearsarge Post Office, then in Kate’s office where she did
her massage work, and now it houses NH and EVS memorabilia. Come
see.
As the days are getting
warmer, here are some tips to see if you could be suffering from
Heat Exhaustion or Heat Stroke. The USPS sent me these tips to
watch for: For Heat Exhaustion, you may feel faint or dizzy;
you may have excessive sweating; cool, pale, clammy skin; nausea
or vomiting; a rapid, weak pulse; or muscle cramps.
For Heat Stroke, you
may have a throbbing headache; body temperature above 103 degrees;
red, hot, dry skin; nausea or vomiting; a rapid, strong pulse;
or you may lose consciousness. If you are experiencing any of
these symptoms, you should immediately call 911 to obtain medical
treatment. If you see someone suffering, take immediate action
to cool the person until help arrives.
