The Weekender: October 8 - 10

Happy Thursday! Looks like we’ve got a beauty of a fall weekend on tap, complete with one sunny day and one drizzly day (perfect for whipping up some comfort food and watching football). There’s a lot going on this weekend, so without further ado…

 
 

West Mountain Fall Fest: Excited to see West Mountain’s Fall Festival on the calendar for this Saturday and Sunday (and next weekend, too!). Looks like they’ve got a little something for everyone - wagon rides, chair lift rides, hikes, a petting zoo, pony rides, food, and brewery + distillery tastings. Sounds good to us! Here are the details.

Halloween Sweets: Trick or treat, neighbors! It’s sneaking up quickly, and if you’re looking for some sweet treats for the kiddos (or yourself for that matter), get your cookie orders in with Abby’s Cookie Jar before the deadline on October 11! Here’s the link.

Save the Date: Date night! You’ll want to mark your calendars for October 24 - how does A Night at the Speakeasy sound? Live music, passed hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and the charming atmosphere of The Park Theater - all to benefit World Awareness Children’s Museum - a win-win! Grab the details and get your tickets here!

Art for a Good Cause: Our friends (and sponsors!) at The Glen at Hiland Meadows are celebrating two decades of service to the senior community with an online art auction / fundraiser held through Wednesday, Oct. 13. The auction will feature the works of Tom Ryan, an Adirondacks artist and resident of The Glen who donated 67 (!!) paintings from his remarkable collection for sale. Profits from all artwork sold will be donated directly to The Glen's Memory Care Center Campaign. Check out the auction here.

 
 

Movies in Pumpkin Patch: Washington County Fairgrounds is hosting a full weekend of movies to benefit The Salvation Army of Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties. Bonus: you can grab dinner and popcorn from their food truck corral before the show! And they’ve picked some classics to show, including Casper and Beetlejuice! Get the details here.

Landscapes for Landsake: More art for a good cause! Two things we love? Beautiful country scenes and beautiful art! Landscapes for Landsake combines these into an amazing art exhibition that benefits the Agricultural Stewardship Association (whose mission is to conserve and protect the region’s farmland). Buy gorgeous art, and save local farms - another win-win! This event is both in person and online. Grab the details here.

Have a great weekend!
