The Weekender: April 19 - 21

Happy weekend! Sharing a few ideas for the agenda, including Earth Day celebrations, sweet treats at The Shirt Factory, where to grab some good BBQ, a 5K to run off said sweet treats and BBQ, a brew fest, and more…

 
 
 
 
 

Glens Falls Earth Day Celebration: Celebrate Earth Day in City Park this Saturday from 11am-2pm! With a goal of inspiring sustainable practices to ensure a brighter future, they’ll have interactive workshops, activities, food tastings, art exhibits, and more - find all the details here!

Blue Zones: Have you seen the Blue Zones documentary on Netflix? It’s essentially an exploration of the locations around the world (the Blue Zones) where people live the longest, healthiest, happiest lives and what we can learn from them. Crandall Public Library is hosting the national spokesperson for the Blue Zones Project, Tony Buettner for a presentation on Saturday night at 6pm - and it’s free! Register to save your seat here.

Rotary 5K: Have you signed up for the Rotary 5K yet? Starting and ending at SUNY Adirondack, you’ll run or walk 3.11 miles on Saturday at 9:30am for a great cause (the Glens Falls Area Youth Center and the Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra). Sign up here!

Maple in April at The Shirt Factory: Once you’ve finished the 5K, treat yourself to a sweet treat at The Shirt Factory’s popular Spring event, Maple in April! All of your favorite food vendors (with some maple offerings!), craft vendors, and the shops of The Shirt Factory too - get the scoop here!

Brew Fest: Drinks for a good cause! Head to the Cool Insuring Arena on Saturday from 4-7pm to sample beverages from 30+ breweries, along with food and live music! All proceeds benefit the Feeder Canal Alliance. Find the details and purchase tickets here!

Brooks BBQ: Calling all BBQ fans! The Kiwanis Club of Glens Falls is hosting its 3rd Annual Brooks BBQ Chicken Dinner Drive-Through fundraiser this Saturday from 3-6pm at East Field — order online here and cruise over to pick it up on Saturday night

Have a great weekend!
