EATON column by Nancy E. Williams 8/31/10 447-5635

What a glorious day for Eaton Fest, starting off with the 5K Eat N Run. There were 58 runners and 12 walkers, which is amazing since it was our first time doing it. They ranged in age from 6 to 71. Way to go! For the runners, Curtis Moors won at 18.09, age 29, Gorham, NH; and Cathy Livingston at 22.28, age 44, Intervale, NH. For the walkers, Ron Goodwin won at 36.46, age 41, Silver Lake; and Robin Steward at 39.18, age 41 from Conway. Most of the runners/walkers dove into the lake at the end. Great way to cool off. Many thanks to the White Mountain Milers for their help, and also to Sgt. McGinley who held up the traffic during the race.
The Pie Auction with Randy Cooper and Tom Lane carefully watching the crowd for any hand or arm movement, raised a total of $465. Fourth Place – Claudia Wilson’s Crumb 4 Berry pie was won by Dean Williams. Third Place – Linda Sorensen’s Raspberry Cream won by Peter Klose; Second Place – Barbara Ginestet’s Blueberry Apricot Torte, won by Sandy Thoms, and 1st Place – Anonymous’ Hair Pie won by Tom Lane for his special birthday present. I cannot reveal the name of our anonymous donor, but for a small fee…
The luncheon was absolutely delicious: pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw, corn on the cob, corn bread, and blond brownies, plus all sorts of cold drinks. Great job, everyone who cooked and served this delightful meal. Thanks to Julia for organizing the scavenger hunt, to John Hartman for providing the music, and thank you overall to the Eaton Village Preservation Society for organizing this wonderful and fun day! The 50/50 raffle raised $7200. First Place winners of $2700 were George and Helen Hill. Second Place of $540 was won by Dana Cunningham, and Third Place of $360 went to Bob and Nancy Malvesta. Congratulations to all the winners and to everyone who bought tickets. This will help pay off the septic system for the Eaton Village Store.
Mary Anne O’Mara made a limited edition of a photo and story of the Little White Church for the LWC’s anniversary party last year. She still has some and will be displaying them at the Design Bungalow, as well as at the Halloween Town at King Pine in October.
Peggy Wescott has donated a lot of work improving the LWC website and has done a significant improvement. The look is much better and it is better organized. She added a box on the home page showing upcoming events a month ahead for quick reference. She has agreed to update the info as it changes. Another very important thing she did was to do some software magic to make this website compatible to not only Firefox, but also Internet Explorer, which is the major internet provider used by most people still. Many thanks to Peggy for her generosity and expertise!
It is amazing to me that this is my last column for August. Where did the time go? Kids will be heading back to school next week, so please drive carefully and watch out for the little ones walking to school. Kids, study hard and learn a lot, enjoy your sports seasons, and have some fun as well. Best of luck to my fellow Bartlett teachers…hope to see you this year.
I know by now you must have heard about the John Lennon Tribute coming to Stone Mountain Arts Center on September 19th. This project has been coming to fruition for a while now, with Tom Dean (Devonsquare) and Rex Fowler (Aztec Two Step) working very hard to complete the CD. Joining them on the CD is our own Alana MacDonald from Devonsquare and their bass player Teg Glendon, and Robbie Coffin. Devonsquare will be appearing on stage as well at this musical event. There are tons of people going already, so if you haven’t purchased your tickets, do it today. I have heard the CD and it is awesome. As a matter of fact, after the Eaton Fest a bunch of us went up to Rockhouse Mountain Farm and listened to the five of them rehearse…what a blast!
