Hyde Hall Opens a Busy Season on May 29th
Written By Editor on 5/10/21 | 5/10/21
Hyde Hall opens on May 29th with a continued commitment to the health and safety of its guests and the community for a 2021 season full of events, tours, concerts, and new initiatives.
In the first two weeks of the season, guests can view a special Flash Exhibit where some of Hyde Hall’s clothing collections are making a rare appearance. Visitors can only see the original garments—including an 1830s gown, a butler’s outfit, a hunting coat, and a livery uniform—between May 29th and June 13th.
This season also includes Thank You Bassett! month. Hyde Hall acknowledges that it has been stressful for individuals working in the medical field and wants to give back. As a way of saying thank you to Bassett Network employees and volunteers for their care of our community over the last year, Hyde Hall offers free admission to all Bassett Network employees and volunteers throughout June. Reservations are still needed, but by showing their Bassett Network ID, Hyde Hall will waive admission for any Bassett network employee or volunteer.
By observing protocols developed with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and following guidelines from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Hyde Hall plans a full calendar of low-risk events. Whether visiting for music, drama, food, or history, museum-goers will find something to enjoy. Event highlights include Chatham Baroque, Robin & Linda Williams, a German Singspiel, and concerts with the Musicians of Ma’alwyck. Visitors will even have the opportunity to join a one-night-only Ghost Hunt with paranormal investigators. Space is limited for all events and reservations are required, and guests must wear masks, at all times, regardless of vaccination status. To get tickets for events or to see the full itinerary for the season, guests can visit HydeHall.org.
Tours at Hyde Hall continue on a reservation-only basis for a maximum of eight guests per tour. Tours will run daily—on the hour—between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. until October 31st. To reserve tours, guests can call (607) 547-5098 X 1 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Hyde Hall asks that guests arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled visit.

Greene County and Columbia-Greene Workforce NY to Host Hospitality Virtual Job Fair May 17-24
Written By Editor on 5/5/21 | 5/5/21
Greene County and Columbia-Greene Workforce NY is hosting a virtual job fair for hospitality businesses from Monday, May 17 to Monday, May 24. The virtual job fair is another tool that the County and Columbia-Greene Workforce NY is using to help employers and employees connect as the restrictions from the coronavirus lessen and businesses can once again fully operate.
Businesses with Greene County operations in hospitality, including the restaurant industry, are encouraged to participate. The virtual job fair will be using a new software package that Columbia-Greene Workforce NY recently obtained through grant funding. The virtual environment will allow job-seekers 24/7 access to virtual booths set up by employers that will describe their businesses and the opportunities available for job-seekers in those companies.
“As businesses begin to resume regular activities as more of the population is vaccinated and travel increases, there is a need for additional employees for tourism-related businesses,” said Deputy County Administrator Warren Hart. Particularly in the hospitality and restaurant industries, the coronavirus restrictions have had a major impact on employment and business operations. The virtual job fair is one way businesses can connect with employees and hopefully find matches, said Hart.
“With high unemployment rates and businesses in need of workers, the Workforce Office looks forward to connecting Greene County employers and workers safely and conveniently,” said Chris Nardone, Director of Columbia-Greene Workforce NY.
Plans are in the works for an expanded virtual job fair to include additional business sectors later in May and June.
For additional information on the hospitality virtual job fair or to register your business, please contact Danielle Palleschi at Columbia-Greene Workforce NY at 518-828-4181 ext. 3104 or by e-mail at Danielle.palleschi@sunycgcc.

Iroquois Museum Hosts Native Art Show
Written By Editor on 5/4/21 | 5/4/21
The “Identity/Identify” exhibit presents artistic responses from across Iroquois country that speak to who is considered Haudenosaunee and what constitutes membership. The show explores how these definitions and designations determine access to tribal and federal resources, rights, residency options, and other components of cultural and community participation.
Artwork created specifically for the exhibit presents political and polarizing issues surrounding blood quantum standards, the position and challenges of mixed-race individuals, those whose connections to heritage are through their father's (rather than mother’s) lines in this matrilineal culture, and those who grew up off reservation.
The exhibit features video, sculpture, beadwork, and photography by Peter Jones, Hayden Haynes, and Michael Jones from Seneca territory; Margaret Jacobs and Natasha Smoke-Santiago from Akwesasne Mohawk territory; Robert D’Alimonte from Tuscarora; Karen Ann Hoffman from Oneida, Wisconsin; Danielle Soames from Manhattan; Andrea Chrisjohn from Kingston, NY; Sheila Escobar and Lance Hodahkwen from Syracuse; Rosy Simas from Minneapolis; Ric Glazer Danay from California; Melanie Printup Hope from Toronto; Erin Antonak from Mississippi, and Dawn Dark Mountain from Santa Fe, NM.
The show is curated by Iroquois Museum Curator Colette Lemmon and Haudenosaunee Artists Melanie Printup Hope and Andrea Chrisjohn.
A celebration with artists and special guests is planned for Indigenous Peoples Day Weekend, on Saturday, Oct. 9, at the Museum, 324 Caverns Rd. in Howes Cave, NY.
Starting May 1, the Iroquois Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. For more information about the Museum and upcoming events, visit www.iroquoismuseum.org.

Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer questions and to assist in plant selections. Customers are encouraged to bring boxes to carry home purchases. Cash or checks are preferred, although credit cards are accepted. For more information and continuing updates on plants offered, follow the webpage cceschoharie-otsego.org/OMG-
