YOUR DRINKING WATER--A 2011 MESSAGE FROM THE VILLAGE

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

The village has sent by regular post, a notice dated 12/14/11 concerning September 2011 "more than two" coliform incidents involving our drinking water. The notice was not received until today. As many people simply throw out these notices, we felt it was important to scan it and place it online. Click on the image to the right.

We just love the ad to the right--a page from the 1958 Sears Christmas Wishbook catalog. It just screams 1950's! Dad with his new shotgun, Mom with her new luggage, Junior with his new bike and of course “Susie” with her doll and carriage! Click on the photo.

And...

It is with great pleasure that we announce the arrival of writer and fellow collector Antoinette Stockenberg’s 2011 Vintage Christmas Mantle, wonderful and quite early—made in Japan putz houses complete with vintage zinnfiguren a.k.a. tin/lead flats!
