Hey Neighbors!
Even with the warmer temperatures this past week, don’t plant your gardens yet! Night time lows likely won’t stabilize for a few more weeks but we are getting closer! The spring flowers around town have been welcome and budding leaves have been sighted as well!
Look out for a startling high of 80 degrees possible on Monday followed by rain and cloudy conditions through next week.
Parsons Vegetable Farm has all your gardening and spring needs! They have mulch and lots of different plants and flowers available. Don’t want to seed start this year? Get your seedlings from them! Located on Route 20 across from the Walmart DC.
Happy Birthday to April Terwilliger, Jimmy Kearney, Tylan Klinger, Billy Barbic, Billy Simpson, and Katherine Venette! Wish them a BIG Happy Birthday if you see them around town!
The Sharon Springs Rescue Squad is a cornerstone of the community! With many active members, they are always looking for new volunteers for Drivers, First Responders, Social Members, and EMT’s. SSRS will fund any training that is needed. SSRS meets the first Monday of the month at 7 PM and would be happy to answer any questions on how to support your community.
The American Legion Post 1269 of Sharon Springs is looking for new members! If you are interested in becoming an American Legion member, volunteering, or even donating to the many wonderful causes the Legion supports, please contact Commander Paul Todd at (518) 649-0024 for more information.
