Rain, Rain, Go away… come again any day but Memorial Day
Monday also known as Eaton Day!
The usual Eaton Day (Memorial Day Monday) plans are firming
up and some new ideas are going to be put together.
The “Day” that runs from 9 am until 3 pm is an opportunity
for everyone to grab a pie or a gift or arummage sale item to bring home. This year we are adding more items to our
“Museum Gift Shop” and more books to our vast new local history book
selections.
A special addition to the fun this year will be a historic
reproduction tin sale, used book sale and of course, our “what not” museum
rummage sale. These little additions
should prove to be fun to look through and any purchases will of course go to
helping the museum fund.
This year’s Pie Sale will feature a number of locally grown
fruits and a good variety of local favorites made by our local pie bakers and
volunteers. So come out get a pie and
enjoy a special piece of our local history.
The Museum’s cookbooks that are for sale, list a number of local recipes
handed down from local bakers of the past.
If you have relatives or friends from the area and need a
Christmas Present…come down and pick something up in our gift area. We even
have gifts for your cats and a coloring book for kids!! This year we will have our 2018 Historic
Eaton Calendar available early.. it comes with an envelope that allows you to
mail it out.
Our new Friends of the Old Town Museum Facebook and Internet
pages will be up shortly and you can learn more on everything there! Right now
you can go to our Old Town of Museum Facebook page! For information or to make a donation you can
email backstreetmary@yahoo.com.
