The Weekender: April 16 - 18

Ready for the weekend?! Same here. We’re trying to ignore that snowflake we saw in tomorrow’s forecast, and the weekend looks promising! On our agenda: planting pansies, more raking, and finding a cocktail and a patio downtown. Hope you’ve got a fun weekend ahead, and if you need a couple of ideas, here they are:

Patio Season, Continued: After a hiatus for the winter, Davidsons is back - it was so nice driving by and seeing a full (socially distanced, of course) patio last night! And really, it’s been so nice seeing all of the downtown patios open for business (just look at [farmacy] sitting pretty up there!). Spring is in the air, for sure.

April Maple: The Shirt Factory is hosting April Maple this weekend - food trucks and vendors will be offering maple products and maple flavored dishes, and well, what could be better? We’re eyeing maple fried chicken, maple cotton candy, and a brew from Mean Max for good measure. Details here.

 
 

Gardenworks: A sure sign of spring, Gardenworks is re-opening this weekend as well! If you’re in the mood for a drive, head out to the barn in Salem to pick up your pansies, and while you’re out there, swing into R.S. Taylor Brewery to pick up a growler to go!

Wine with a View: Another Washington County staple, Victory View Vineyard in Schaghticoke is re-opening for outside tastings and wine by the glass this weekend! Might as well hit a few of our favorite antique shops while you’re out that way too (find them here!).

Have a great weekend!
