• Hand-made Clock Presented to Town
The Council was pleasantly surprised at the September 11, 2008, Council meeting by a special presentation from Tom and Sally Freestone. The Freestones, who recently relocated from Tennessee to Mt. Hygeia Road, presented the Town with a fine, hand-crafted clock made from stoneware pottery. In fact, the “Foster” clock was the last piece of pottery they produced in their old workshop in Tennessee. Our thanks go out to the Freestones for their generous gift. Tom and Sally will soon be opening a workshop in Foster and we look forward to seeing them about town. The clock has been proudly placed on display in the Town Hall for all to see and admire. |
