There’s a new element to the Merry on Maine Christmas Festival to be held on Saturday, December 12 and that is a PARADE OF LIGHTS.  It has been longer than recent memory that Eads has actually sponsored a Parade of Lights at the holidays, so the organizers are very excited about the upcoming addition to the town’s holiday celebration.  The Town of Eads will be the organizers of this, the first in many years, Parade of Lights.

Quilters from the immediate area got together in early October 2020, to make plans to see how many quilts could be made to be awarded to local Veterans at the November 11, 2020 American Legion Post #125 Veterans’ dinner.  Individuals worked franticly to get 10 quilts done.   Sadly, because of the COVID virus, the dinner was cancelled at the last minute.  The individuals from this quilt group are doing all they can to get the quilts to the awardees as soon as possible.   We regret the award could not be given during the Veterans’ dinner so that the awardees get recognition.  The following are the veterans who are being awarded a “healing” quilt in 2020.

On Election Day 2020 voters within the Town of Eads demonstrated a division in opinion as the Town of Eads’ ballot initiative to fund a new municipal swimming pool failed to pass in a close 36 vote difference ---211 NO and 176 YES.  The Town of Eads was asking voters for a 3% sales tax increase that evidently proved too steep for the majority of the voters to consider.
