News & Notes

July means its time to start thinking about Winterfest 2009

While the sun is shining and our backs are not against the wall, the time is now to start thinking about Winterfest 2009.

Our club discussed plans for our club’s largest fund-raiser at the July assembly.

Among the ideas discussed included creating a “Taste of Skaneateles” event, possibly under a tent on the lawn at the Sherwood, and moving the snow sculpture contest to Clift Park downtown. 

A number of businesses and/or organizations were also identified to be contacted early to ensure their participation, including Skaneateles Artisans, Dan Riordan at the Blue water, Anyela’s Winery, the Skaneateles Library Association, Baltimore Woods, the Skaneateles Ski Hill, the new Fire House, The Creamery and the owners of the Seitz Building.

The future of the craft fair was also discussed with most thinking we should continue to offer this event as long as crafters continue to sign up. 

Also discussed was the mailing of a Save the Date card in late August or early September.  Following the meeting, Marion Krauter visited the Chamber of Commerce office and learned that the Chamber will provide mailing labels.  The Chamber recommended sending the cards out in early September, just after the Labor Day parade.
