The last weekend of August already?! It’s hard to believe. I know we’ve got almost another month of summer, but something about September just feels different. Probably just the fact that we don’t break into a sweat every time we step outside ;) Anyway! Here are a few ideas for the weekend ahead - hope it’s a great one!
Shop Till You Drop: Shopping? Yes please! The Glens Falls Collaborative planned a downtown shopping event in honor of Ann Parrish of Milk & Honey, who is retiring next week after more than 15 years. On Friday from 12-6pm, you can grab a discount at participating businesses downtown by saying the words “Milk and Honey” - more info here!
Books on Carts: Crandall Library is hosting the last Books on Carts in the Park sale tomorrow (Friday), and since we’ve somehow missed them all, we’re going to try to dash over tomorrow morning (this one includes 2 for $1 fiction paperbacks!). Details here.
Apple Season: It sounds crazy but we just saw that a couple of orchards are opening for u-pick apples this weekend! Hicks Orchard in Granville will be open and picking Ginger Gold and Zestar (and they’ll have cider donuts and wood fired pizza, too!), and Bowman Orchards in Rexford is picking Summer Mac, Zestar, Sansa, and more. Hellooooo apple pie!
Revolution Rail: Have you heard of Revolution Rail? We’ve had it on our summer to-do list for a while - they have rail biking on closed railroad tracks in the Adirondacks, and they just opened a new South River Run in North Creek which looks awesome. Looks like they still have some availability this weekend - you can book your ride here.
…and while you’re in North Creek, check out some of our favorite restaurants and shops in the area that we rounded up here!
Have a great weekend!
