The Weekender: November 8 - 10

Happy weekend! Sharing a few ideas for the agenda, including a wine and chocolate tasting, where to find the best cider donuts, where to send pumpkins flying via catapult, and more…

Thunder Hockey: Cheer on the home team this Friday and Saturday night - the puck drops at 7pm both nights. Let’s go Thunder! Tickets here.

Wine and Chocolate Tasting: Wine and Chocolate - need we say more? Sample 150+ wines and spirits along with everyone’s favorite sweet treat at The Queensbury Hotel on Friday night to benefit The Chapman Museum. Details and tickets here!

Pumpkin Chunkin’ at Adirondack Pub & Brewery: A place for you to ditch the pumpkins post-Halloween (via catapult, no less!) and enjoy a couple of brewskis around a bonfire on Saturday! There’s also an apple slingshot, if that’s your thing. Live music and activities for the kids, too. Here are the details!

Cider Donuts: Apple picking season might be over, but cider donut season is still in full swing as far as we’re concerned. Here’s our list of the best cider donuts in the area, according to our readers. If you’re up for a ride this weekend, sample one or sample them all! Would love to hear your favorite.

Open Studio: If you’re cruising out toward Hicks this weekend for the aforementioned cider donuts, swing into the Open Studio and Plein Air event at Whiting Gallery this Saturday and Sunday in Argyle! It’s their last open studio of the year and the perfect time to pick up a beautiful Washington County inspired landscape painting for yourself or someone on your list. Here are the details.

Have a great weekend!

Road Trip: The Great Northern Catskills

Greetings from the Catskills! Did you know that the Great Northern Catskills are just over an hour from downtown Glens Falls? Cozy cabins, mountain views, and charming small towns await - all just a quick trip down the Northway. If you’re up for a fall getaway, here are some favorites from our recent trip (which would be equally as amazing in the winter, by the way)! 

STAY

Camptown: At the foot of the Catskills, this newly renovated 1930s motor lodge feels like summer camp for adults. Cozy cabins dot the property, made even more charming by the welcoming fire pit, string lights overhead, and of course, peak fall foliage. Camptown’s log cabins are dog friendly, and we couldn’t think of a better way to explore the Catskills than with your best four legged friend in tow. The location was the perfect jumping off point to explore the river towns to the east or the heart of the mountains to the west and south. Be sure to book one of their renovated cabins for the beautifully updated interiors!

EAT + DRINK

Gracie’s Luncheonette: Just up the road from Camptown, Gracie’s is a classic diner featuring scratch made American classics. Pop in for hearty breakfast, lunch, or just to grab a box of their fabulous baked goods - we heard the donuts are amazing!

Circle W Market: A favorite, we try to stop in to Circle W on each trip for their baked goods, breakfast sandwiches (and lunch sandwiches!), quiche, you name it! 

Deer Mountain Inn | Tannersville: A highlight of our trip, we took the scenic route to Deer Mountain Inn and ooh-ed and ahh-ed our way past waterfalls and striking mountain views. The Inn is tucked into a hillside with almost 200 acres of beautiful grounds and trails that we wish we’d had time to explore. The interiors are rustic in the best way - dimly lit, beautifully decorated, and wonderfully cozy. Dinner was amazing (don’t miss the house sourdough!), and it took everything we had to pull ourselves away from the cozy fire in the living room after dinner.

Casa Susanna: On property at Camptown (and also dog friendly!), Casa Susanna serves up authentic Mexican food with fresh, local ingredients. The menu is designed for tasting and sharing, so we ordered a variety and enjoyed the dishes with their fantastic house-made tortillas, and of course, margaritas! Every bite was full of flavor and we loved exchanging notes on favorites with the rest of the group at the bar.

SEE + DO

Walk the Windham Path: If you’re looking for a stroll instead of a hike, you don’t have to sacrifice on views! The Windham Path is a 1.5 mile loop that brings you across meadows, over bridges, and along the Batavia Kill Stream with spectacular views along the way. Great for biking and walking, kids and pups, this is a gem not to be missed!

Explore the Historic River Towns: We spent an afternoon exploring the historic towns along the Hudson - Coxsackie, Athens, and Catskill. Coxsackie was a favorite and felt a bit like we’d stumbled upon a movie set. Here are some of the favorites that we popped into or added to our list for next time:

• Coxsackie

• Eat + Drink: Coxsackie General Store, Coxsackie Creamery, Shipwrecked, Ravish Liquors, Patrick Henry’s Tavern

• See, Do + Shop: Coxsackie Antique Center, Reed Street Bottle Shop, Unquiet Antiques, Pilothouse Paper, The Bronck House and Barns

• Athens

• Eat + Drink: The Athens Rooster, The Stewart House

• Catskill

• Eat + Drink: Willa’s Bakery, Left Bank Ciders

• See, Do + Shop: Thomas Cole Historic Site, Magpie Bookshop, Kaaterskill Market, Catskill Chocolate Co

Until next time! If you’ve got any other favorites we should add to our list for next trip, we’d love to hear!

P.S. Check out more in our Road Trip series here. 

This trip was in partnership with our friends at The Great Northern Catskills. We are so thrilled at the opportunity to share this beautiful destination with you!

The Best Cider Donuts, According to Readers

It’s officially autumn, which means our cider donut diet has commenced. And by diet, we mean they are a large part of our diet ;) So many donuts to sample, so little time. 

We enlisted the help of our Instagram community (@glensfallsliving) to help us find the very best cider donuts in the area. Not surprisingly, there were a lot of opinions on the matter, but out of the many recommendations, there were a few clear winners. 

And so, if you’re looking for the best cider donuts within an hour or so of Glens Falls, we’ve got you covered. Read on for the top picks from your neighbors, and start planning your cider donut road trip (we have to try them all, don’t we?!).  

#1 Hicks Orchard

This was, by far, the top pick amongst those who responded. And not to play favorites but, well, it just so happens to be one of our favorites too! Why you ask? There’s the nostalgia factor of course — many people noted they’d grown up heading out to Hicks for apples and donuts — but more importantly, the donuts are moist, have the perfect amount of sugar on top, and they melt in your mouth. As one reader put it, “Hicks is the only choice!”. Pro tip: enjoy them warm! 

18 Hicks Road, Granville / Website 

#2 The Silo

This one snuck up on us, but it was the second most frequently mentioned spot! The Silo is a year round restaurant in Queensbury and not an orchard, which, apparently, is a big part of the draw! “Easily accessible and you can brunch at the same time!,” a reader noted. Another reader said she even served them at her wedding instead of cake! Year round cider donuts close to home? Excuse us while we zip over to Aviation Road to grab a half dozen! 

537 Aviation Road, Queensbury / Website 

#3 Saratoga Apple

Another frontrunner, Saratoga Apple scored big points with readers for moistness, warmth (hot off the fryer!), and that oh so important melt in your mouth factor. A hot tip from a reader: they’re best enjoyed with a glass of their hard cider in their on-site tasting room!

1174 Route 29, Schuylerville / Website

#4 McWhorter’s Orchard

Another Washington County favorite, McWhorter’s was frequently mentioned as having the best flavor and consistency. Bonus points for the Adirondack chairs with a view to enjoy them in!

5635 State Route 40, Argyle / Website

#5 Lakeside Farms

The final in our top five brings us south to Lakeside Farms in Ballston Lake, just off Exit 11 of the Northway. Our readers assure us it’s worth the drive for these “crisp on the outside, soft on the inside” donuts with the perfect amount of sugar. While you’re there, sit down for breakfast or lunch in their restaurant and shop their country store (you might wind up bringing home a pie, too!).

336 Schauber Road, Ballston Lake / Website

Honorable Mentions

You can never have too many donuts, right? Here are a few more recommendations we received:

The Garden Barn, Fort Edward

Saratoga Gluten Free Goods Bakery, Schuylerville

Indian Ladder Farm, Altamont

Would love to hear which is your favorite in the comments below! See you in the donut line!

The Weekender: September 13-15

Happy weekend! Sharing a few ideas for the agenda, including a stroll through a sunflower field, a flea market, where to pick raspberries and apples, and more…

Dancing Grain Sunflower Festival: Sunflower season! Head down to Dancing Grain Farm Brewery in Gansevoort this weekend for a stroll through acres of sunflowers, live music, craft brews, food trucks, and more - find all the details here!

Moreau Lake Nature Fest: The weather looks perfect for another weekend at the lake! Head down to Moreau Lake State Park on Saturday from 11am-3:30pm for their annual Nature Fest, with lots of nature activities including live animals, educational booths, rescue organizations, wagon rides, music, and more - grab the scoop here.  

Second Saturday Flea: Stop by the Second Saturday Flea Market at The Shirt Factory this Saturday from 10am-5pm! Antiques, vintage, collectibles, and more — and all the shops of The Shirt Factory, of course. Find out more here!

Raspberry + Apple Season: It’s a great time for u-pick! Head out to Gardenworks in Salem this weekend for plentiful raspberry picking, or over to Hicks in Granville for raspberries and apples! Think of all the pies you’ll make :)

Have a great weekend!

Apple Orchards to Visit this Month

We tend to head back to the same orchard year after year, and while there’s something to be said for nostalgia, we thought we’d share a round-up of apple orchards to visit this fall just in case you’re in the mood to mix things up (and hey, you may even find a new favorite or two!). As for us, we figure we might as well spread the love and pick some at every orchard (and sample the donuts while we’re at it)!

Hicks Orchard | Granville, NY

Hicks is where we grew up picking (and devouring donuts), so this one is nostalgic for us. It’s become a bit of a year round destination for us too, with maple glazed cider donuts in the spring, blueberries in the summer, and delicious Slyboro cider tastings any time. We love the atmosphere here, always making ourselves comfortable on the porch with our cider, cider donuts, and a view of their red barns. And of course, no trip to Hicks is complete without feeding our pals, the goats.

McWhorters Orchard | Argyle, NY

As soon as we saw the Adirondack chairs with a view, we were hooked! Well, that and the adorable red barn, the u-pick pumpkin field with horses grazing just beyond, and the delicious apples, cider, and donuts. Did we mention the view? With lots of friendly faces (both human and animal!), we love the atmosphere at McWhorters and Tom is already itching to go back for more cider :)

Apple Hill Orchards | Whitehall, NY

Apple Hill is a good old fashioned apple orchard. You won’t find cider donuts or wagon rides here, but that’s a big part of the draw! We loved walking the rows of trees amidst the peace and quiet of the wind rustling through the branches and the occasional tractor coming by with a load of apples, a smile, and a wave. And if you’re feeling like a bit of a stroll, the view from the top of the hill is a beauty!

Mad Tom Orchard | East Dorset, VT

A bit more of a drive from Glens Falls (just over an hour), Mad Tom Orchard is a hidden gem in nearby East Dorset, VT. Here you’ll find a peaceful orchard, mountain views, an adorable red house with apple shutters, and little red wagons to pull the kiddos (or your bushels of apples!). Our pup Max’s smile pretty much says it all. Bonus: the most delicious donuts and cider to enjoy on your way home (or on a picnic table on the Dorset Town Green!).

Saratoga Apple | Schuylerville, NY

Like many of you, we were introduced to Saratoga Apple at the Glens Falls Farmers Market! They’ve always got a fantastic selection on hand, which inspired our drive out to their orchard and farmstand just outside of Saratoga in Schuylerville. A huge orchard, a farmstand filled with a great assortment of fruits and veggies, cider donuts, and bonus: hard cider (which is so good, by the way).

Happy picking! And if you have a local favorite, we’d love to hear!

Good Dog: Tucker

Good dog, Tucker! We got to catch up with this sweet lab boy and his owner, Kristen Wentworth this week. Kristen shares about meeting Tucker for the first time, a bit about their favorite summer activity - dock diving, some of their favorite dog friendly places, and more…

On Meeting Tucker

I found out about Tucker when he was a day old. I lost my last pup (a 12 1/2 year-old chocolate lab) just over a month before. I was actually looking into raising a guide puppy because I wasn't sure that I would be ready for another one of my own so soon. I was approved and went to an orientation, but due to it being during COVID, a lot of people wanted to do it. I was told it could be a while, so I had started looking for a dog of my own. My best friend saw a Facebook post about Tucker’s litter by a high school classmate of hers and sent it to me. It was the day before my birthday, and I ultimately decided to get myself a present. Knowing about him practically from birth was so amazing as I got to follow him from the start and got pictures of his first food, first bath, first time outside, etc. I also got to go out and meet him (he's from Pulaski) with my best friend when he was four weeks old, which was one of the best days of my life. It was absolutely love at first sight and really hard leaving him for another three and half weeks that day. 

Fun fact — two of his sisters ended up going to friends of mine in New Hampshire after seeing a Facebook post that I made about the litter and deciding to get him, so we got to meet them all on that day. And now we get to see his siblings Maple and Winni once a year or so when we visit family, which is really cool.

All About Tucker

Tucker is the perfect combination of energy and love. He is an active boy, which forces me to get out and do stuff with him every day, but he is also a giant love who will crawl in my lap (all 90 pounds of him!) and snuggle like no other. 

Tucker makes friends everywhere he goes. As a COVID puppy, I went out of my way to make sure he was socialized, so we went to every store and place where pups are welcome. He definitely has staff members that he remembers and looks for in many of these places. He also loves to visit with my neighbors, and is amazing with kids. 

Like most labs, Tucker loves to chase and retrieve balls, and he would live in the water if allowed. We started dock diving when he was 8 months old. He took to it right away, and has gotten pretty good. During our second year, we actually earned a sponsorship from his food company Canidae, which is a huge help. Tucker competes in all three disciplines of dock diving — Big Air (distance), Extreme Vertical, and Speed Retrieve — which classifies him as an Iron Dog. We received invites to the DockDogs World Championships in Dubuque, Iowa each of the past two years but were unable to attend.  I am really hoping we get an invite again this year and are able to go. Our season officially kicks off on Memorial Day weekend, and we have plans to compete in Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and New York over the summer.

Apart from this, he loves peanut butter and baby carrots. Unlike my previous two labs who would tear apart any stuffed toy within minutes of getting it, Tucker also loves his stuffies and probably has more toys than most children.

On Connections Made

One day last fall, we were out at Lake George, and we met a little boy named Tucker.  He thought it was so cool that he and my Tucker had the same name. He played with us for a few minutes and then went on his way with his family. Fast forward to last month, we were out at Lake George again and the same little boy came over to us at Shepard Park asking if that was Tucker. His mom proceeded to tell me that they have a seasonal home here and had just come up for the weekend. Apparently, the boy had not been able to stop talking about Tucker the dog after their last trip and had said on their way up the day prior that he had hoped he might see him. What are the odds? Needless to say, my boy has helped connect me with so many incredible people and pups, and this is probably one of the things I love about him most.   

Tucker and Kristen

On Local Dog Friendly Favorites

We live right behind Sutherland's Petworks, so this is hands down his favorite place and somewhere that we can be found several times each week. Tucker is also a regular at TJ Maxx, Hobby Lobby, Old Navy, JoAnn's, the Canal Street Marketplace, and Dancing Grain Farm Brewery. You can find us just about anywhere there is live music outside in the summer. 

And then, of course, there is the water. We mostly practice on the dock in Bennington, Vermont and travel around New England to compete, but we can also often be found at Lake George and Haviland Cove. The latter is a special place to me as I went there almost every night with my girl in the summer of 2020 before she passed away and have a memorial box there for her. Although Tucker never met Miley, he has always seemed to know there is something about this place and will go straight for the box as soon as we get there.

On The Love of a Dog

There are so many things I love about having a dog in my life. They don't care what you wear or what you look like, what you do for work or how much money you make. They just love you for who you are and find joy in the simple things. As a result, I have learned to do so also. I can be having the worst day, but 10 minutes of fetch with a giant dog who is grinning from ear to ear and tapping his toes in anticipation only to then run up to you with a big slobbery kiss is enough to turn all of that around for me. With all three of my dogs, I have also made countless connections, and that is the thing for which I am probably most grateful. 

The Weekender: July 19 - 21

Happy weekend! Sharing a few ideas for the agenda, including a concert in the park, a musical downtown, a shindig in the country, and more…

Concerts in the Park: Looks like another beautiful night on Friday for The Park Theater Foundation Summer Concert Series in Crandall Park! Chilean songstress Pascuala Ilabaca & Fauna will take the stage at 7pm, with their music rooted in traditional sounds but integrating shades of jazz, pop and rock. This is a free event – bring a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy! Details here.

Adirondack Theatre Festival: The third production of the ATF season opens tomorrow! The Kings Wife is said to be a lush musical drama which imagines a secret history of the first wives of Henry VIII. Learn more and grab your tickets here!

Blueberry Picking: Now that it’s not 95+ degrees, it seems like a good time to spend the morning in the blueberry field! We shared a list of our favorite blueberry farms for u-pick here - now to decide between blueberry muffins or blueberry pie!

Tiashoke Shindig: Head out to beautiful Tiashoke Farm in Washington County on Saturday night from 6-10pm for their first annual shindig! Music, drinks, food, and a beautiful view of the sunset over the countryside. Sounds like fun to us - get the scoop here.

Have a great weekend!

My Glens Falls: Ashley Bucci

We caught up with Ashley Bucci this week! She shares what brought her to Glens Falls, what she loves about her career as an audiologist at Glens Falls Hospital, her go-to restaurants in the city, and more…

Tell us about yourself!

My name is Ashley Bucci and I am honored to be able to share my story with Glens Falls Living! I have worked as an audiologist at The Hearing Center of Glens Falls Hospital for a little over six years now. I first moved to Glens Falls seven years ago to complete my fellowship year at the Hearing Center as the final step in earning my clinical doctorate degree in audiology from the State University of New York at Buffalo. I previously earned my Bachelors degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders in the Capital Region area at the former College of Saint Rose. When my training was complete in 2018, I was very grateful to be offered the opportunity to stay on as a full time audiologist at The Hearing Center. 

On Being an Audiologist

The Glens Falls area has been very welcoming to me since moving here in 2017. It was an easy decision for me to stay and build my professional life here. The audiology department at the Hearing Center is a very special group of individuals that I’m grateful to work alongside each day. We serve a wide geographic area of individuals with hearing impairment and vestibular dysfunction. The population we serve ranges from newborn to seniors over 100 years old at times. This allows for a unique experience each day and the opportunity to support so many with hearing needs. My favorite thing about being an audiologist is not only the new people I get to meet each day but also catching up with the established patients returning for follow up or annual visits. It’s rewarding to be able to support them with the daily auditory needs that are meaningful to them such as conversing with a spouse or family member, enjoying music, or hearing the birds outside. 

Working for Glens Falls Hospital has allowed me to grow with further training in speciality areas such as tinnitus and serving as a preceptor to incoming fourth year graduate clinicians as I once was. I find the role of serving as a preceptor to be incredibly rewarding as it allows me to learn about emerging topics in the field that encourage taking a fresh perspective on daily clinical routines. The Hearing Center relocated to downtown Glens Falls last October, providing us a better view of the city and the ability to enjoy the nearby eateries and food trucks more often together after work. 

On Moving to Glens Falls

I grew up not far from here in Mechanicville, NY with my parents Mike and Denise and older brother Michael. Having called both my home, I recognize that Mechanicville and Glens Falls have a common ground in the fact that Mechanicville was also home to a bustling paper mill on the Hudson River many years ago that employed a majority of local residents, including my grandfather and great-grandfather. I feel that this type of industry cultivates a very hard working and authentic community group. This familiarity of interacting with kind and genuine people is very reminiscent to me of the place where I grew up.  My parents and close family still live in Mechanicville, but they come to visit often. It’s special to be able to share things that they enjoy up here, including hockey games, food and music events downtown, and family gatherings at our home. My dad is an avid fly fisher which I have been fortunate enough to learn from him and enjoy in the rivers of the Adirondacks and neighboring Vermont. 

My boyfriend Rob and I own a home together in the Kingsbury countryside just outside of Glens Falls. We have three cats named Claire, Melba, and June,  two dogs named Forrest and Chuck, and one beta fish named Rush. We’re fortunate to have a great view of the Vermont Mountains from our deck and a large play area for the dogs. Tending to the vegetable garden and raspberry bushes in the yard this time of year is one of my favorite pastimes. 

Some Glens Falls Favorites

With the array of wonderful local businesses to choose from in and around Glens Falls, a few of my regular stops include Moss Street Deli for their breakfast sandwich and coffee special , the Gourmet Cafe for birthday celebrations with my colleagues, and Coopers Cave or Sprinkles for ice cream in the summer months. I wanted to also mention that the best curly hair cut is available at Epiphany North Hair Design with James and my respect for the Adirondack Region Cat Adoption Center’s incredible work caring for cats in need and helping them to find their forever homes. 

On the Past (and the Future)

Glens Falls has brought me meaningful experiences in my adult life that I will always be thankful for, including the start of my career at The Hearing Center, meeting my boyfriend Rob on our first date at Siam Thai restaurant, and finding my oldest cat Claire in a downtown store front window during the Christmas season in 2019.  A special place in my heart will always be reserved for my hometown of Mechanicville, NY and the city of Buffalo, NY where I lived during my graduate school years, but I am now proud to call Glens Falls my home. My hope is that others can find the joy, success, friendships, and love that I have been fortunate enough to find here in Glens Falls . A big thanks to Glens Falls Living for the opportunity to be featured and to my co worker Rachel DeLuca for the nomination! 

Blueberry Farms to Visit This Summer

Blueberry pie, blueberry crisp, blueberry muffins, blueberry coffee cake… We looove blueberry season around here and we find ourselves going picking at least a few times each summer. Have you been? We’re sharing just a handful of local farms to try - because there’s nothing like a sweet treat made with fresh picked blueberries. Promise.  

Hicks Orchard | Granville: Opening soon for the 2024 season! There’s more than just apples at Hicks! Our family winds up here every summer. We usually head out on a weekday and enjoy the quiet of the breeze rustling through the leaves in the field and the promise of a cider donut at the barn when we’re done. They’re open Friday from 10am - 7pm and weekends from 10am to 4pm. Looks like they’ve got wood fired pizzas on Friday evenings, too! Find the rest of their info here. 

Winney’s Blueberry Farm | Schuylerville: Opening July 3 for the 2024 season! Another favorite to our south, Winney’s has a huge variety and lovely pastoral views.

Yoleberry Farm | Fort Ann: Closed for the 2024 strawberry season, sadly! We picked here for the first time last season and loved it! A beautiful, quiet setting and plentiful picking made for a perfect morning. They’re open Tuesday - Sunday from 9am - 4pm. Details here.

Pride Month Kicks Off This Weekend With Lower Adirondack Pride’s Glens Falls Pride Fest

Lower Adirondack Pride is kicking off Pride Month with events all weekend long! We caught up with Cam Cardinale, President of Lower Adirondack Pride, to hear a bit more about the organization, the festivities they have planned for the weekend and what’s in store for the year ahead…

Pride Fest 2023 • Image Courtesy of Cam Cardinale

Tell us a bit about yourself, Cam!

I’m Cam Cardinale, President of Lower Adirondack Pride, the local pride organization serving Warren, Washington, and Northern Saratoga Counties. I have a strong passion for advocating for the LGBTQIA+ community at the local, state, and national levels, ensuring our voices are heard across all tiers of government.

In addition to this role, I am the Director of Community Relations for Southern Adirondack Independent Living, an agency that serves seventeen counties throughout New York State with the mission of helping people live more independently. I am truly honored to hold this position and advocate on behalf of people with disabilities in the communities we serve.

Cam Cardinale, President - Lower Adirondack Pride

On The Founding (And Reviving) of Lower Adirondack Pride

Lower Adirondack Pride was founded in 2010 under the name The Bridge. The organization initially hosted an annual pride festival and conducted advocacy throughout the community. In 2016, the organization went dormant.

In 2023, we decided to revive the organization, and a dedicated group of individuals came together to make it happen. In just 27 days, we planned an entire festival that attracted over 1,500 attendees. Since then, we’ve been hard at work with year-round programming including mixers, social events, support groups, sports leagues, community advocacy, and much more.

On Advocacy

Currently, our organization is focused on advocating for the LGBTQIA+ community within the Lower Adirondack Region and continuing to host events and programs year-round. Additionally, we’re partnering with local businesses to supply them with pride flags to show their support for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Pride Fest 2023 • Image Courtesy of Cam Cardinale

On Pride Fest

Aloha 5K to Benefit Amanda's House at Glens Falls Hospital

Have you heard of Amanda’s House? A valuable asset that Glens Falls Hospital provides to our region, Amanda’s House is a comfortable home away from home providing complimentary accommodations for Glens Falls Hospital patients and their loved ones who have traveled from a distance for health care. With the Aloha 5K coming up on June 15 to benefit Amanda’s House, now seemed like the perfect time to share more about its positive impact on the community and how you can help ensure that Amanda’s House continues to receive guests for years to come. 

Amanda’s House

Amanda’s House is named for Amanda Rose Cafaro, who sadly passed away prior to her first birthday after being diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia in 1998. Amanda’s family was so touched by the community outpouring of support for their granddaughter that they decided to create a memorial in her name in the form of Amanda’s House, a cozy three bedroom home just a short walk from Glens Falls Hospital. 

Founded in 2001 and operated by Glens Falls Hospital since 2015, the house has seen thousands of stays throughout its 20 years in operation, welcoming a wide variety of guests, including those undergoing cancer treatment, family members of those who are in crisis as Emergency Room and Intensive Care Unit patients, those having inpatient surgeries, and many more. The home has provided comfort to those across our region and as far away as California, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, the Dominican Republic and many places in between.

Lindsey Kostun, a volunteer at Amanda’s House and Glens Falls Foundation Board Member, underscores the importance of this type of offering. “The ability for patients and their families to have a residential environment to stay in during treatment and recovery is the perfect complement to achieving health, comfort and a taste of home during their most challenging times,” she says. “Our family experienced this first hand when our one year old daughter faced brain surgery and months of chemotherapy treatment. Having the ability to use a facility similar to Amanda’s House gave us the chance to feel like we could still have a touch of normalcy when everything else was out of our control. Being able to volunteer at Amanda’s House and help others experience this peace is an honor.” 

Belinda Spinner, RN and Lindsey Kostun, Amanda’s House Volunteer

Providers treating patients at the hospital have witnessed the positive impact of Amanda’s House as well. Vickie Yattaw, Registered Nurse and Manager of Oncology Education and Support Services at the C.R. Wood Cancer Center at Glens Falls Hospital, has seen firsthand how Amanda’s House has eliminated the stress of travel expenses for patients undergoing treatment. “The Cancer Center treats patients from a wide geographic location and many drive a distance to get to their treatments. Some treatments are every day, Monday through Friday, for 6 to 7 weeks. The financial and emotional hardship of that amount of travel can be a deterrent for patients getting the lifesaving care that they need,” she says. “We are very fortunate that we can offer our patients the option to stay at Amanda’s house while undergoing their cancer care and relieve that one stressor so that they can focus on getting well.” 

Vickie Yattaw, RN at the C.R. Wood Cancer Center at Glens Falls Hospital

Belinda Spinner, an acute care Registered Nurse at Glens Falls Hospital, echoes this sentiment. Having spent 40 years caring for patients, she has been a witness to some of their biggest worries, one of those being their concern over the impact that the hospital stay has on their families. “I witnessed the beautiful moment that Amanda's House offloaded incredible weight from one of my patients. He and his family were visiting from another country while his son was at a Lake George camp. Unfortunately, he suffered an accident through no fault of his own, and had exhausted all travel medical insurance. His family had been staying with relatives that could no longer transport them to and from the hospital, so his wife and two children were staying all day at the hospital. The guilt that our patient was experiencing was obviously impeding his recovery. With one call to Amanda's House, they had a comfortable home to stay in that was close enough to walk back and forth to the hospital, stores and some entertainment for his family. I felt his gratitude as he hugged me. Tears trickled down his cheek as he sincerely said ‘thank you’.”

All proceeds from the Aloha 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Walk will support Amanda’s House at Glens Falls Hospital. The family friendly event is scheduled for Saturday, June 15 at Haviland’s Cove Park with an off-street course winding along the beautiful Feeder Canal, complete with beach tunes to inspire your run or walk. Registration begins at 7:00am with a race start time of 9:00am, and don’t forget to wear your best Hawaiian gear! You’re invited to stick around after the race for music, kids activities (including visits from our friendly therapy dog teams), refreshments, prizes and more.

The Weekender: May 24-26

Happy weekend, Happy Memorial Day! Sharing a few ideas for the agenda, including parades, a summer kick-off party, a comedy show, and more…

Memorial Day Parades: We’re so grateful to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and it’s always wonderful to see all of the events in their honor. Of course, no Memorial Day would be complete without taking in the annual Glens Falls Memorial Day parade, which begins downtown and makes its way down Glen Street at 10am on Monday (grab those details here). And if you’re really in a parade state of mind this weekend, head just over the bridge for the South Glens Falls Parade on Friday night at 6pm, starting at Main and McHugh and running north to Veteran’s Memorial Park.

Summer Kick-off Party: Have you been to Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery in Queensbury? This weekend marks their 9th anniversary and they’re celebrating with a party - summer cocktails, live music, food trucks and local artisan vendors. Sounds right up our alley! Grab the scoop here.

Coming Up…

Aloha 5K: Have you signed up for Glens Falls Hospital’s Aloha 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Walk to benefit Amanda’s House? It’s scheduled for Saturday, June 15 at Haviland’s Cove Park with an off-street course winding along the Feeder Canal. Click here to learn more and sign up!

Have a great weekend!

My Glens Falls: Hillary Smith

We caught up with Hillary Smith this week! She shares what inspired her to open her bookstore, Black Walnut Books, where to get the best curry, her favorite stores to browse at The Shirt Factory, and more…

Tell us about yourself!

I’m Hillary Smith, the owner of Black Walnut Books and Little Black Walnut Books. I have been a bookseller for over 15 years and started my own bookstore, Black Walnut Books, in 2021 as an online and pop-up shop. I focus on books by Indigenous, queer and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) authors. I also love stickers, notecards and little gifts, so I have a lot of those too!

In 2022 I was a vendor at The Shirt Factory’s Holiday Open House, and I fell in love with the building and its awesome community of small business owners and artists. I was able to rent a studio there and opened my brick and mortar store in March of 2023.

This March I opened Little Black Walnut Books, a children’s bookstore, down the hall from my original store. It’s been great to have a dedicated space for kids to come and read, play and just enjoy!

I love partnering with other local businesses and non-profits (it’s one of my favorite things). I co-host book clubs with The Wood Theater, Beldame Books and Adirondack Pottery. I have partnered with Lower Adirondack Pride to throw regular pride mixers at The Shirt Factory. Beldame Books, Gifts of Nyx and I team up for awesome Boozy Book Fairs at Mean Max and Adirondack Winery. 

On Life In and Around Glens Falls

I grew up in Northern California and have also lived in Southwest Colorado. My partner is originally from the Schuylerville / Saratoga area. When we were looking at potential places to settle down, we really fell in love with Glens Falls. It’s such a sweet little town and I love that you have the Adirondacks in your backyard, but are also just a few hours away from Montreal, Boston and NYC.

We moved here 2 and a half years ago and never plan to leave. We live about 15 minutes outside of town. We bought a sweet little house that the previous owners built. I love that it’s close enough to town that my commute feels easy, but that I still get to have mountain views and the woods as a backyard. We have two dogs, two cats and 10 chickens and they all love it too!

My favorite thing about Glens Falls is how friendly everyone is and how, for a fairly small town, there is always so much to do! There are so many community events and awesome small businesses and local non-profits, it is such a dynamic place. 

A Perfect Glens Falls Day

My perfect day would start with a walk in Cole’s Woods; it is so gorgeous all year long and I love that it is right in town. Then I would head over to Sweet Rice for lunch, where they have the most delicious curry. After lunch I would head to The Shirt Factory for some shopping. My favorite stores to browse are Barn and Brick, Sweetside Records and Beldame Books. I can spend hours perusing their shelves.

I’d pop into Rock Hill Bake House to grab my signature double shot of espresso over ice in my Adirondack Pottery mug that I always have in my bag. Then I’d stroll downtown for a cocktail and dinner at Craft on 9. I love bringing a book to read at the bar. 

On the Past

Since I am still pretty new to the area, I don’t have much of a past in Glens Falls. I do love hearing from locals about how it has grown and changed over time. It is really amazing getting to work and live in such a historic place. I do, however, already have so many amazing memories here and can’t wait to build up a lifetime of them. 

On the Future

I would love it if we had a little art supply and stationery store. I sell a fair amount of that type of thing at the bookstore, but I love getting to go to a shop where they are really knowledgeable and passionate about, you know, the specific qualities of different pens. 

The Weekender: May 17-19

Happy weekend! Sharing a few ideas for the agenda, including a pet festival, an afternoon on the lake, a ride on a rollercoaster, and more…

Opening Weekend at The Great Escape: Feel like taking a few spins on The Comet? The Great Escape is opens for the season this weekend (and now is a good time to spend a day there before the busy summer season begins!) - details here.

An Afternoon on the Lake: Another fun activity before the busy season? A ride on the steamboats! Lake George Steamboat Company is up and running for the season, and they’ll have cruises on the Mohican and the Lac du Saint Sacrement this weekend - find the schedule and tickets here!

Open Studio: Take a ride to Argyle this weekend for the Whiting Studio Gallery Open Studio! Check out some of their latest pieces and watch as they paint new works. Grab the details here!

Have a great weekend!

My Glens Falls: Cassie Leonard, MD

This article is sponsored by Hudson Headwaters Health Network.
Thank you for supporting the local businesses that support our work at Glens Falls Living.

This week we chatted with Cassie Leonard, MD, who you might recognize as an OB-GYN Physician with Hudson Headwaters Health Network! She shares what brought her family to the area from West Virginia, a bit about realizing her childhood dream of making an impact as a physician, some favorite local activities, and more…

Tell us a bit about yourself!

My name is Cassie Leonard and I am an OB-GYN physician at Hudson Headwaters Health Network. I live in Lake George with my husband, Jeremy Entwistle, and our three children — Claire (14), Caroline (12), and Charlie (8). My husband is a sculptor and operates his practice, French Mountain Studios, on our property and teaches part time at Union College. My children attend Lake George Schools, where they are active in sports, chorus, and band.

On Life in and Around Glens Falls

My family and I moved here about six years ago from Morgantown, West Virginia, where I was an attending physician at West Virginia University School of Medicine. We relocated to the Glens Falls area to be closer to family, since my husband grew up in Argyle.

When deciding where to live and work, we looked from Albany all the way north to where we currently are located. We ultimately decided to move to 50 beautiful acres in the Lake George area due to the closeness of family, fantastic school systems, and a small town feel.

On Making an Impact

Since I was a child, my dream was to become a physician. I wanted to be able to positively impact a community as my grandfather had done as a primary care physician in a small town in West Virginia. It is a privilege to be able to care for women in all aspects of their life, from family planning services, maternity care, gynecologic issues, menopause, and beyond. My days and weeks are always different, which keeps things interesting. One day I could be seeing patients in our clinic at 90 South Street in Glens Falls or at our Warrensburg Health Center, while another day I could spend delivering babies or operating on women at Glens Falls Hospital.

When I interviewed with Hudson Headwaters Health Network, I couldn’t imagine working for a better organization or a practice that more closely aligned with my values. Hudson Headwaters Health Network provides medical care to the North Country regardless of income or insurance and the mission of the Network truly allows me as a physician to best serve my community. Hudson Headwaters also provides a work environment that encourages home-life balance, which is necessary due to the rigors of my profession.

On Favorite Local Activities

When I am not at work, you can usually find me at the ball-field or track watching my kids play sports or hiking in our woods with our hound dog Millie. Our family skis and we enjoy winter sports as much as the summer. I have also recently been taking horseback riding lessons, which has been an inspiring and challenging new hobby.

My husband and I are always tackling home improvement projects on our house and property, which keeps us happy. As a family, we make it a priority to visit our camp that we built in the Long Lake area to fish, ride ATV, hunt, or just relax.

Our family really enjoys the greater Glens Falls area, the food and culture, and living in the gateway to the Adirondacks. We appreciate all that upstate New York has to offer and are excited to see what the future holds for us here.

My Glens Falls: Will Fowler

We’re chatting with Will Fowler this week! He shares his favorite memories of growing up in Glens Falls, his new favorite lunch spot, what he’d like to see more of downtown in the future, and more…

Tell us about yourself!

Hello! I’m Will Fowler. I live in Glens Falls with my wife, Katie, and our two children, Phoebe and Charlie Bird (we’re really into birds). I’m a co-owner of Sidekick Creative, where I’m a creative director and designer. We’re a boutique graphic design studio located downtown, and we just celebrated our 7th anniversary. We’ve been so lucky to get to do what we love while working with cool people and great clients.

On Life In and Around Glens Falls

I grew up on Lake Avenue, right across from Crandall Park, with my parents and four older sisters. My grandparents lived on the corner, so we had a very tight-knit family unit. My sisters and I went to St. Mary’s-St. Alphonsus, where our mom taught English, so we were together all day at school, too! Growing up I thought everyone’s family was this close, but now I look back and realize how lucky we were. My sisters and I have moved away to different places (Boston, Hawaii, Florida) at different times in our lives, but always seem to find our way back to the area. The more I travel, the more I’ve come to appreciate the quality of life here. We’re truly spoiled to have such a vibrant, safe, and welcoming little city—and we’re so close to so many great destinations, too. 

On Moving Around The City

Our first apartment was above Raul’s, which was so much fun. We loved living in the heart of downtown and eating tacos for every other meal. When we got married, we bought a house off of South Street Extension, where we lived for four years. When Katie was pregnant with our second, we had outgrown the house, and moved to Windy Hill, where we’ve been for three years. We love our quiet little street and our amazing neighbors. And now we’re closer to playgrounds and the bike trail, which is not as fun as Raul’s, but the kids seem to like it.

On Community

At the risk of sounding corny, my favorite thing about Glens Falls has to be the people. I feel like I know everyone from growing up here, but I’m always meeting interesting new people, too. There are so many good-hearted, down-to-earth folks who live here, who are dedicated to improving our community every day. 

A Perfect Glens Falls Day

My perfect day in Hometown USA would start with a bagel and coffee at Cool Beans with the crossword. It would have to include a round of disc golf at Crandall Park, which has become my new favorite hobby. The course is really well-maintained thanks to the volunteers and the Crandall Park Beautification Committee. Taco Kings Jalisco has become a favorite spot for lunch—I try something new every time and it’s always amazing. There are so many great restaurants downtown, but our go-to spot for special occasions is Morgan & Company (and the porch bar has to be my favorite spot for cocktails). For an after-dinner drink, we might go to Mean Max for a beer and darts, or The Golden Monkey for a specialty cocktail, which is another new favorite spot!

On the Past

Growing up near Crandall Park meant we had a front-row seat for the Memorial Day Parade and the Balloon Festival. Even after my parents sold the house on Lake Ave., we would come back for the Memorial Day parade every year and our old neighbors would save a spot for us, with coffee and donuts to share.

On the Future

I’d love to see more concerts come to the COOL Insuring Arena. My sister rented one of the new boxes for the Goose and Trey show in 2022 and it was such a cool experience. It felt like a renaissance for the arena. I’ve witnessed so many great moments there—from Jimmer and JG3, to this year’s historic season for the Adirondack Thunder—and I’m excited to see it continue to bring excellent sports and entertainment to our city!

The Weekender: May 3 - 5
