Well, the Holiday season is kicking off here in Plymouth with the activities at the Historic Site on Sunday, 12/9. Come join the fun – sleigh rides, lively old-time music, caroling in the church, craft demonstrations & special children’s holiday activities. Don’t forget to bring your appetite for a scrumptious lunch at the Wilder House Restaurant, provided by Tyson Ladies Aid.

The special cancellation this year will be a pictorial postmark reading “Holiday Station, Plymouth, Vt.” It was designed by local artist John Lutz. The hours will be 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Cilley Store, but I understand you can drop off your cards ahead of time at the PO & they can still be cancelled on the 9th if you can’t make it on that day.

Good news – Yoga classes, taught by certified yoga instructor, Kimberly Williams are starting on Tuesdays at The Good Commons from 5:30-7:00 PM. The cost is $10 per class or $50 for a punch card of six classes. The first class will be on December 4. There will be no class on December 25 or January 1. All levels welcome, including beginners.

In other food news in our town, the River Tavern at Hawk will be open for dinner staring 12/21 & breakfast will be available on Sat. & Sun. The Echo Lake Inn is opening 12/14 & you can also obtain breakfast there from 8:00 – 9:00, but it is best to call (228-8602) in advance to let them know you are coming.

A new & intriguing restaurant option is now available at the Salt Ash Inn, called the Beard & the Broads Tavern! Newly relocated from South Carolina & bringing some southern charm & cooking our way, are Janelle & Larry Wilfong & Leslie Fitzhugh. They will be serving breakfast & lunch from 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM. They want folks to know that they feature fresh ingredients & good home cooking, even making some of their own breads. So, check it out!

I am sorry that no pictures were taken at the Thanksgiving Dinner at Tyson Church on Thursday, but please know that there was plenty of food, especially turkey, & a good time was had by all. Don’t forget the Service of Remembrance at the church on Sunday, 12/2 at 4:00 PM. If you have a special candle & holder you would like to use, feel free to bring it. Otherwise, we will have candles on hand. Everyone is well.

Lastly, congratulations to Sage Allen & Ashley Rebideau for making high honors at Black River – good work!.
