8/25/24

An absolutely awe-inspiring weekend weather-wise. Cool nights for sleeping, plus the humidity seems to have departed. I would love to have these conditions last at least through the month of October! Friends were visiting from NC and were so disappointed that no bears made an appearance at my house while they were here. Only a flock of turkeys showed up for their viewing pleasure.

I attended the Yoh theatre presentation at WUHS on Sunday evening.  It was a preview of upcoming performances for this school year.  It was high energy and featured many talented actors with lots of delightful music.

Since our weather often makes a mockery of the forecast, let’s not panic yet about this coming weekend.  Rain or shine Shakespeare Alive will happen at noon on Saturday, 8/31 at the Union Christian Church. Hopefully the outdoor Plymouth Folk and Blues Festival at the Notch also will happen on 8/31 and 9/1 from 2 to 5 p.m. 

Let’s remember that although area schools are opening this coming week, there is still time to enjoy the beach. Camp Plymouth State Park will be open through 9/29. I feel remiss that I never included the picture of the new accessibility mat and special sand chair that Tiffany sent to me. It wonderfully allows wheelchairs and walkers to navigate to the water’s edge.

At last week’s select board meeting Rick said that we are in the black with the near completion of phase one of the Town Building upgrade.  Application for a grant is in the works that might help to fund items that were previously removed from the project. Check the minutes on the town website for information about the upcoming tax sale and other town news.

Sadly, it appears that Katherine and Rodrick Pingree will be moving, but you will still have a chance to visit with them and perhaps pick up a bargain at their tag sale, 8/31 thru 9/2.  Condolence to the Hayes family on the recent passing of Shirley.
