Romancing The Tintype At Epsom Public Library
The Epsom Public Library is pleased to host artist/photographer Edie
Weiler’s “Romancing the Tintype,” an exhibit of contemporary
tintypes created through the 19th century wet plate collodion
photographic process. This striking and fascinating exhibit
features images of over thirty fellow artists, family members and
friends of the photographer. It is the culmination of several
years’ worth of study and experimentation and is proud testimony to
the artist’s dedication to reviving this lost art as a viable 21st
century art form.
The exhibit runs through January 3, and may be viewed
during regular library hours: Monday – Thursday, 10 am to 7 pm and
Saturday, 9 am to 1 pm. For more information, call 736-9920 or

Epsom Food Pantry
Good day one and all. As you can well imagine, this past week has
been busy. Saturday was our distribution day for the Thanksgiving
Baskets and all went well. Between the well-filled boxes and a
choice of pumpkin, cherry or blueberry pie and then a nice fat
turkey to round it all off. Super! I just want to thank all the
volunteers who stepped forward and helped out. I know Ken and Liz
appreciated all their efforts to make this run smoothly, as it was a
big undertaking and of course we are all “newbies” at this. I think
it went pretty smoothly.
Now we are off and running for Santa’s day. All applications are
being hand carried to Chennel Drive to assure us that our members
will all get a nice basket. Read your white sheet that tells you
about the pickup and date. I too will put up notices around town.
Now the members at Meadow Brook will have theirs brought right to
the facility, and all will be delivered to each and every one. The
rest of our membership will have to pick up at the Town Hall as you
did for Thanksgiving.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 219-3025 and I
will help you out.
Until next time,
Priscilla
