Live music
There is a lot happening in the tiny town of Bridgewater. The local historical association has live music on Thursday nights as well as an occasional Saturday from 6 – 9 p.m. Their music program is a bit different than others in the area. They feature a little less country and a little more old-time rock ‘n roll. The atmosphere is quite relaxed and everyone has a good time. So come on down and join the crew! All proceeds from the music program will go towards the purchase of much-needed sound equipment for the
building.

The special speaker was Dallas Adams, the driver education teacher for Mars Hill and Easton. He spoke about the program requirements – 30 hours of classroom time and 10 hours of actual driving time. Each student actually spends more then 10 hours in the car, as they spend time on the road while other students are driving. The class lasts for about three months and currently costs each participant $300.
Any individual under age 18 must complete a driver education course before they can apply for their driver’s license. Participants must be at least 16 years of age before they can apply to take their driving test.
