Bovina Center is the place to be on Thursday nights! The Bovina Farmers' Market has the best locally made, grown and sourced items around. While you're there sit by the stream and enjoy music by John Houshmand and oysters by chef Antonio Mora. See you there! https://mailchi.mp/3cd74b/farmers-market-thursdays-8119665

Opening day is here - get outside and enjoy the snow! We had fun cruising down Deer Run from top to bottom. With the snowmakers cranking out the man made, we ...could possibly see Seneca opening up tomorrow, but we will have to wait a little longer for the official word. Don't forget, if you have not picked up a season pass yet, today is the last day to get the best rates. Prices will go up at midnight. See more

As Fall approaches, hunting seasons in New York begin a new cycle in earnest. While small game seasons run for much of the year (squirrel season began on September 1st), the action really picks up when the big game seasons come around. The first of these is Early Bear Season, which will run from September 12th through September 27th in our area this year. The more popular regular season for bear and deer will run from November 21st through December 13th. These big game seaso...ns allow the use of rifles and shotguns. While there are few accidents during these seasons they do happen, sometimes with tragic results. If you do hike in the Catskills during this time, wear blaze orange - and dress your pets in orange as well. If you prefer to hike in areas where hunting is not allowed during these seasons, we have listed a number of locations in the vicinity of the Catskills. Check them at this link: https://catskillmountainclub.org//hiking-during-hunting-s/.

"Not far from Cooperstown is the even smaller town of Fly Creek, famous in New York for its cider mill. It’s quite the attraction! The mill has been family-owned since its start, and really emulates that family-centered feeling." - Wanderlust on a Budget
