Exeter celebrate their annual Fun Days starting Friday and
Saturday.
Head to John E’s in downtown Exeter for col drinks and karaoke
from 9 to close.
Saturday morning starts with a Car and Bike Show in downtown
Exeter in front of John E’s from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Fun and games for the
kids with lots of prizes start downtown inside the street dance area from 10 –
11:30 a.m. Tickets (2 for $1.00) will be available for the games
which include plinko, bug toss, ring toss and duck pond downtown inside the
street dance area. This event is also sponsored by the Exeter Chamber of
Commerce. The Village of Exeter will be sponsoring free swimming at the
Exeter Aquatic Center all afternoon.
The evening entertainment and food starts at 5 p.m. at the Exeter
Volunteer Fire Department BBQ and Street Dance featuring two live acts.
Local favorites Rusty Nichol will open the evening playing live from 5 – 9 with
Timmery and Joe taking over the stage at 9 and playing until 1.
It’s something she
never imagined doing, but Agnes Loukota is crocheting like crazy.
This 1957 graduate of
Exeter High School recently celebrated her 55th High school
reunion, but don’t think this great-grandmother is slowing down.
In 2006 she launched
on a new project. She noticed that the Exeter G.F.W.C. Woman’s Club had
put an ad in the Exeter Care Center newsletter looking for people to crochet
hats for a project they were working on. “I went online, found the pattern and
started making them,” explained Loukota.
Even after the Woman’s
club completed their project Loukota continued to crochet the hats, which the
American Cancer Society calls Head Huggers on their website where they offer
the pattern.
With over 500 hats crocheted Loukota isn’t
slowing down at all. In fact, she has recruited more help in Exeter to
crochet the hats. Exeter resident and Librarian Nina Bartu is also helping
Loukota.
