SUNY Cobleskill Welcomes Newborn Colt

SUNY Cobleskill's Equestrian program welcomed its third and final addition on Wednesday evening with the birth of a colt named Tadpole. 

Following the births of Epona, a filly named for a Zelda character, and Flash, another colt who was born in record time, Tadpole is the last of the expected newborn horses this foal season. 

Sleeping quietly with his proud broodmare standing nearby, Tadpole was in a particularly non-photogenic mood, but considering his recent ordeal, we'll let him slide. 

June 2014 Fourth Friday Pictures

While graduates of Middleburgh Central School received their diplomas Friday evening, hundreds of residents and visitors packed Main Street to enjoy the community's June Fourth Friday, where building upon May's success, there was plenty to do and see the entire beautiful summer night. 

Middleburgh resident Sheila Donegan was enjoying the festivities Friday and forwarded several pictures of the event for our viewing pleasure. Fourth Fridays is the brainchild of the Middleburgh Area Business Association, and it has thrived under the direction of Jamie Casterlin. 

Without further ado, Ms. Donegan's selected photographs from June's Fourth Friday:

Despite Stormy Weather, Schoharie's Parade a Hit

Despite the threat of severe storms, hundreds of Schoharie and area residents turned out Thursday evening to watch the valley community's annual American Legion Auxiliary Memorial Day Parade that featured both of Schoharie's school bands, several antique cars and dozens of local firemen and emergency responders marching to honor our nation's veterans. 

The Schoharie News was at the scene and captured some interesting photographs of the festivities, which are posted below:
