Upton

The Ladies Aid Association will have their first meeting of 2013 after breakfast Sunday, Jan. 13. The Ladies are planning to have a Saturday night spaghetti supper in mid-February. The day before the supper, Carol and Charlie will host their annual sliding party.

The State Line Snowmobile Club met Saturday, Jan. 5. They chose March 9 for their annual ride-in/cookout at Ray and Marie's. It was noted at the meeting that there is a new New Hampshire Warden, Jeff Younglove, assigned to the area. He is checking for New Hampshire registrations at businesses near the state line. The club is looking for some volunteers to help groom with one of the club sleds. Please call Bob Pepler at 533-2061 to let him know when you will be available to help. The State Line Snowmobile Club's next meeting will be 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, at the Upton House.

Because of a schedule conflict, the Selectmen will meet Wednesday, Jan. 16, instead of Tuesday, the 15th.

The football schedule runs about a month too long; already baseball talk is in the media, and we are in the middle of basketball season.

With all of these sports events happening, I wonder if anyone even noticed that the hockey players were on strike. I didn't.

Please call 533-2010 or e-mail backstjoe@gmail.com with your news.
