Field Days events
A huge thank you to our local sponsors for making Easton Field Days once again a huge success. Thanks go to the many sponsors who made the event possible. Their support is greatly appreciated.
The Field Days Committee sponsored a flower show and there were numerous entries. Vaughn Martin was awarded Best of Show for his arrangement incorporated in a tool belt. During the festival the Easton Girls’ Varsity Soccer Team hosted a Tenth Marathon. The winners in the men’s division were Aaron Tomlinson, Jacob Bacon and Larry Nichols. In the ladies’ division it was Heidi Currier coming in first, followed by Abbie Currier and Emma Bonner. Thanks to all who participated in the fundraiser!
A cribbage tournament was also hosted during the festivities and the winners were Harold Clark taking the grand prize, Leslie Ferris in second and Mickey Brown taking third.
