It’s August 13th, 2011 a picture perfect day. A slight breeze, mid 70′s temperatures, beautiful blue skies with a few cotton ball clouds floating by.

The Quechee Club tennis courts were in full action as the finals for this years CTA Summer Tennis League were held there. The Eastman NH women’s team had a very successful year, making it to the finals. Neither the men’s A or B team did as well.

The women, had a very hard fought battle on court one going to a third set tie break. The number 1 Eastman team just could not pull out the victory after splitting the first two sets.  The Eastman court two team lost to a very strong Storrs Pond team that could have easily played number 1. The good news for the day was that the Eastman 3 team won in straight sets.

So, congratulations to Storrs Pond, winners of both the women’s A & B level and the Storrs mens A team all winning this years league play. Woodstock took the title for the men’s B level.

With the men’s A team loosing in the first round of league playoff’s the men’s B team and women’s B team were left to carry on the winning ways for Eastman tennis!!

The men played a very tough match against River Valley Club on Tuesday 8/9 and lost a heart breaker 2-1. The team that played in the number one slot won 6-3 6-3 but it was all down hill after that. Over all both the mens team’s had solid years and Eastman tennis will improve because of the success.

Now the real story is the women’s team. After finishing in 4th place for the year, the women won a rather easy 3-0 match against RVC. Last night the women traveled to Norwich. With thundershowers all around us, playing on hard courts not clay, the women fought a victory winning on court one, in a third set tie break, dropping a thriller on court 2, in a third set tie break and winning straight sets on court two.

The women play in the finals at The Quechee Club Sat. 8/13/11

Yankee Barn 4 Winter Hill

4 Winter Hill, Eastman NH is a spectacular home. Meticulously maintained by the original owner, this home might be 20 years old but it sure doesn’t look like it. Yankee Barns have a timeless beauty that never gets old.

This home, priced at $359,900 with over 2700 square feet of living space, is one of the best values in Eastman today.

If you like the thought and feel of the warmth of that wood brings to a home, this property is for you. Everything is well thought out and you even get a seasonal view of Eastman Lake. The lot is primarily deciduous trees so in the heat of summer the home is shaded and in the winter you get solar gain from the sun room.

This event just seems to get better every year!!! The Eastman Community is filled with volunteers that make this event happen. People travel from long distances to participate and everyone has so much fun!!! The event has entries that are trying to win, people trying to set a personal best, and people that have never done anything like this before. There are teams competing, where you can have to or three competitors on one team. There is even a scaled down version for kids under 14.
