The Spirit of Hyde Park, by Gordie Tallman

12/13/2019

0 Comments

 
THE SPIRIT OF HYDE PARK

On a hill o'er the valley
Where the river runs down
In the heart of the county
Stands a quiet little town

A tree-shaded hamlet
Where friendly folk dwell
where neighbors have time
To visit a spell

A quaint country village
Kind of out of the way
Some come to visit
And some come to stay

A town leveled by fire
 In nineteen and ten
But as Lazarus arose
So the town did again

Money was scarce
And resources thin
But the town folk were stubborn
They wouldn't give in

Imagine the hardship
Back then-- and the strife
But united they brought
Our fair town back to life

From the rubble and ashes
Up from the ground
With a solid foundation
They rebuilt the town

Yea--with undaunted spirit
The town again rose
On a hill o'er the valley
Where the big river flows.

-Gordie Tallman

Unique Gift Ideas in Hyde Park

12/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Are you looking for a gift for someone who has everything?  We might be able to help! 
The Friends of the Lanpher Memorial Library are giving you the opportunity to help the Library increase the number of chairs   for comfortable seating  with their Chair Dedication Program:  "Pull Up a Chair"
A donation of $50 covers the cost of a chair and a simple commemorative brass plaque on the back.  Order forms are available at the Lanpher Memorial Library and the number of chairs is limited!  Only 15 left.

The Second Congregational Church of Hyde Park is placing commemorative bricks in their walkway.  What a wonderful way to honor a person, a pet, a local organization, a special teacher, a group of friends, someone who has made a difference....
The bricks cost $100 each and you can order them online:  https://polarengraving.com/secondcongregationalchurchofhydepark 
For $20 they also offer the opportunity to light the bell tower for a week in honor or in memory of someone.  https://2congoucc.weebly.com/tower-light-memorial-page.html
Proceeds from these gifts will go toward restoration of the Second Congregational Church's bell tower.  This iconic Hyde Park landmark is in need of expensive repairs, so every brick and every light helps save the bell tower.

Need other gift ideas?
We have copies of Gordie Tallman's second book of poetry:  "Backroads and Bygones, Volume II" for $15 each.
For the Civil War buff:  "Spunky Lamoille Boys in Blue Too" by Deanna French and Tom Ledoux are $20 (every bit goes to Lamoille Area Cancer Network)
If you want a unique glance at Hyde Park History, look no further than "Moonlight Rambles".  This compilation of 52 articles from the 1918 News & Citizen takes the reader on a one of a kind tour through Hyde Park.  Put together by Francis Favreau, copies cost $10.
Finally, the special story by an author who visited the Lanpher Memorial Library a few months ago for a talk:  "Soar, Adam, Soar", by Rick Prashaw and Adam Prashaw. $20.  Learn more about this book: https://www.rickprashaw.com/soar-adam-soar

Note Cards from paintings of Hyde Park Village scenes by Diane Szlachetka, are sold in sets of 4 or 8 for $10 or $15.  Proceeds go to the Friends of the Lanpher Memorial Library to further their support of the Lanpher Memorial Library.
