Hey Neighbors!
What a shift in the weather! We dipped into the 30s with a true freeze warning this past week for just one overnight, with nighttime low temperatures jumping back into the 50s. Expect a dry next week and average highs back up in the 70s.
According to the I Love New York Foliage Report, Central New York is at ‘mid point’ moving quickly towards ‘near peak’ for the leaf changing this Fall. Enjoy it while we can since this year has been a bit earlier than usual. Don’t forget that damp leaves on the road can be just as slick as ice so drive cautiously this Fall.
The Schoharie County Department of Health will offer a flu shot clinic at the “Spa Ritz” meal site at the Sharon Springs Firehouse on Friday, October 17 from 11 AM - 1 PM. Please call the meal site for more information at (518) 295-2001.
Make sure to support your local farm stands and small businesses too! There are still plenty of local events coming up in October so look out for those here. Without the local support, these unique offerings simply cannot exist!
