East Bethel

I find myself looking out the window watching snow being cleared on the Abe Merrill Road, rather than paying attention to my task at hand, which is writing the news for you. It's been a while since I have seen equipment go up and down that road. It sure is easier to deal with friendly and polite folks in comparison to the last time around.

Well, let me tell you, there is a very happy Grammy in the neighborhood. Ann Crockett is thrilled to have Teddy back. He, Page and Jarrod had been away visiting Page's folks in Prescott, Ariz.

Arlene Harrington was gone for two weeks. She and her youngest daughter, Dory, left on the 21st of December and returned on Jan. 7th from a trip to visit her granddaughter in Douglasville, Ga. They saw lots of things and had a great time.

If you are looking for something different to do, there are two events coming up. There will be a Benefit Spaghetti Dinner for Eddie Gammon, Sr., on Saturday, Jan. 19, at the American Legion Hall on the Gore Road. Doors open at 3 p.m, food will be served from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The cost is $ 8 a plate, children 6 and under eat free. Donations would be appreciated. There will also be a Dollar Table and a 50/50 Raffle. The sponsors, Jeff and Alisha, say, “whether you know Ed or not, come joins us.” For more information you can contact them at (207) 890-6909 or (207) 875-5501.

Penny Kittredge will hold a Scentsy Open House on Saturday, 12th, and Sunday, the 13th, from noon till 5 p.m. at 985 East Bethel Road. There will be drawings, lots of Cash and Carry stock, as well as accepting orders or simply stop by to visit and meet new neighbors.

Don't forget to call me at 824-3220 or e-mail han@megalink.net. I am always glad to hear and share your news and information.

Alder River Grange will have a regular meeting Jan. 11 at Stanley Howe’s home on Broad Street. Brother Stanley said he would put together a supper for 6 p.m., with the meeting at 7 p.m.

Here is the new Trivia question: Whose salvaged timber was used to build the ferryman's home?

Have a great week.
