Hello to all the readers out there! I hope some of my faithful BC readers have followed onto this new platform.
Christmas season has definitely landed and I’m trying to get everything done that is necessary. That being said the now decorated tree is inside an old dog pen to keep our new kitten Moe at bay. All the glittery shiny things hanging down are way too much of a temptation.
The singers and players of the upcoming Christmas concert have been hard at work practicing for the two scheduled shows. This will be held this coming weekend at the Andover Town Hall. Saturday 12/20 at 7 pm and Sunday 12/21 at 2 pm. This promises to be a wonderful down home presentation. The weather on Friday seems like it’s bringing some wind and rain, but I believe the weekend weather will cooperate for safe travels to Andover.
The lights on the common are beautifully lit each night that just adds to the holiday atmosphere. On my way home from practice, around 10:30, I saw a deer on the common inspecting the lights! What a wonderful picture that would have made. I tried to pull over as soon as I spotted it and get my phone out, but it was already out of sight. Maybe it was one of Santa’s reindeer checking things out in Andover and reporting back to the North Pole!
I am going to try and spread the word about this new way to read our local columns once again on my social media and word of mouth. I sincerely hope that we get a lot of new subscribers. Thanks go out to Amy Chapman for all the work she has put in to bring this all together. If anyone has any news or events out there that they would like to share please send them my way. diananadeau@ymail.com.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
