EAST FAREWELL GETS READY FOR
THE HOLIDAY SEASON
East Farewell – The holiday season is beginning with lights,
lots of wreaths and plenty of festive decorations in store windows. The annual
Thanksgiving Day Parade will take place today on Main street and promises to be
even bigger and better than years before. The parade is the traditional kickoff
to the holiday season in East Farewell but this year decorators got an early
start by putting up the street decorations early this week. Main
Street and Lake Shore Drive have snappy strands of artificial garland with
a wreath in the center draping the streets every ten yards or so. The garland
is lighted and the wreaths have tasteful red and green lights around them. The decorations this year were fabricated
locally and the seniors in the regional high school made it a class project to
put them up with help from the Streets Department.
The town is
preparing for the holiday weekend that sees a huge influx of visitors to watch
the parade, shop and dine. East
Farewell is truly a Destination Station around this time of year. The
restaurants stay open a little later in the evening and the convenience of Main
Street and Lake Shore Drive shopping have many visitors staying after the
parade for the entire weekend. While the parade brings Santa to town, all the
visitors bring lots of good cheer and good money to town. The folks of East Farewell
love it.

SPORTS
COUGARS LOOK GOOD IN PRE-SEASON TOURNAMENT
Corning – The Cougars basketball unofficially started last
Saturday and Sunday as they played in a Holiday Tournament in Coring. They made
a respectable showing, coming in third behind two very strong and experienced
teams. The tournament was won by Capital City, last year’s State Champs.
Corning came in second with all five of their starters returning and the
Cougars played a tough defense and a surprisingly fluid offense as they came
within three points of defeating Corning. Capital City showed why they were the
state champs by winning every game they played and beating Corning in the
finals, 68-52.
The Cougars
season begins December 2nd against Corning. Coach Wilson said that
although the Cougars lost to Corning in the tournament they will be ready to
play on the 2nd. “These kids are going to be ready when the Devils
come to town. We were actually lucky to be able to play them in the tournament.
We got a chance to see how they play. We are going to do a little studying and
change up some matchups to make things a little more in our favor. We’ll be
ready for them.”
