Water, sewer, hydro and cable services were extended across the street to the lot at 67 Wel- lington St. in preparation for the house build next spring. Retired town works man- ager Dennis Hockey su- pervised the project on be- half of the Exeter Habitat for Humanity Committee.

Director/producer Deb Homuth said the event turned out just per- fect, and despite poor weather, Fridays performance featured a full house, although some of the performers couldn t make Fridays performance because of the weather. Homuth said the cast members were thrilled with the reaction from the public and she added she was pleased with the performances, noting about 80 per cent of those involved had never appeared on stage before.
