Monday

I've just received this Email from Pop Warner "sports reporter" John Savage:

"Our eagles played their hearts out but unfortunately came up short 34-26. It was a very exciting game and we had an incredible crowd of enthusiastic supporters - thanks to everyone for a great season! "

********

Our thanks to the "Eagles," too!

We're proud of all of you!

I'm posting early, today, because I need to take my car to Den Kelly's for a "safety recall." It has to do with the possibility of heavy of snow disabling the windshield wipers and, of course, obscuring visibility. I don't know what the Service Department intends to do about that --- my solution would be to go South for the Winter and avoid the problem altogether!

It's Garbage Day

36.7 degrees and wet.


WKTV predicts: " scattered morning snow showers, followed by mostly cloudy and chilly conditions for the remainder of the day.

Lake effect snow will redevelop Monday evening and will likely shift south. There is the potential for some accumulating snow as far south as the Mohawk Valley Monday night into Tuesday. Stay tuned.
More snow showers continue on Tuesday followed by a brief break from the clouds and showers on Wednesday. Yet another storm system will give us rain showers heading into next weekend."

Autumn decorations are still prevalent, throughout the village ........



......... but Christmas decorations were hung at the Fire House on Saturday.


A shivery-looking Parade of Lights Committee

stood in the rain in Monument Park, on Saturday morning.

They may not have completed all that they'd set out to do, that day, but the few trees that were lit were very welcome bright spots!



The wrappings came off the "Wheeler Block" on East Main Street!

The building, which should probably be known as the "Brouillette Block," is owned by John (a.k.a. "Jack") Brouillette and the restoration was carried out by Dan Maine & Co.

Thank You!


A large flock of Canada Geese, enjoying a lay-over near Merriman's on Sanger Hill, weren't bothered by the rain .........


and a roofer was working at Mrs. Lew's Sanger Avenue residence.

Angela Martz sent me these pictures of Boy Scouts sorting through Popcorn orders.


Webelo Scout David Martz, Jr.


It's that wonderful caramelly popcorn.
Autumn's answer to the Springtime treat of Girl Scout Cookies!

I wonder if the Scouts ordered any extra, and if it's still possible to place orders?

I found this synopsis online: "Here's an entertaining 'vampire' play that begins where most Dracula stories end. Mina was a victim of Count Dracula. Beautiful, but incredibly evil, she has searched the earth for a young man who would resemble her first love... Jonathan Harker. She discovers him Tod Wilson, an innovative teacher who opens a school for brilliant students not far from New York City. The property (donated by Lady Dracula) is a forbidding pile of haunted stones called Malice House. Lady Dracula keeps to the shadows except when ...... " No sense telling you everything!

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

Calling all Revellers!

Hartford Players Youth Theater in a collaborative project with the choral group, Tapestry- The All Centuries Singers, will present a musical adaptation of the Medieval mummers folk-play "St George and the Dragon."

This play within a play is sheer fun, and
begins as villagers arrive in the local tavern to be cast in an amateur production of "St. George and the Dragon."
Silliness reigns as the participants are cast in their roles for a variety of reasons--none of which have anything to do with talent.

The mummers' play will be told using traditional rhymed dialogue and Renaissance madrigals.


"St. George and the Dragon" will run November 15th and 16th at the Kirkland Arts Center in Clinton NY. Performance times are 3:00 and 7:30pm on Saturday and 7:30pm on Sunday. Tickets are $12.00 for adults, $10.00 for students and seniors; reservations can be made through the Kirkland Art Center at 853-8871. Tickets will also be sold at the door.

With comedy, live music, heroes, dragons, and fast-moving action, this interactive production offers an adventurous and entertaining treat for the whole family.
