October 2009 Edition

Autumn in Saratoga is truly an experience all its own.  Its actually one of my favorite times of the year to spend at the Farmer’s Market enjoying the season’s choices, smells and colors.

Color is what is on my mind and all around.  We are so lucky to be in the midst of the most incredible foliage, abundance of apple orchards, chameleon-like corn fields…even the recent balloon festival just north of us added a fresh zing to the eye.  It reminds me of how much there is to enjoy outdoors before the weather gets too cold!  There are lots of options involving not much more than a good sturdy pair of shoes, a sweater and a hat.  The Saratoga Spa State Park Trails are a good family friendly choice and I highly recommend the trip.
 
Be sure to mark your calendar for the 8th Annual Saratoga Fall Festival, coming October 31st and November 1st.  The event kicks off at 10am on Saturday and offers tons of free entertainment including magic shows, apple baseball, a kids costume parade, a haunted house, pumpkin rolling races, pony rides and much, much more all over Downtown.  Schedules can be found at most downtown businesses or you can contact the Saratoga Downtown Business Association via email at info@saratogadowntown.com.
 
So go on, make a memory with the simple pleasures that the neighborhood has to offer.  Is there any better way, to leave the stress of the world behind, then to share a few giggles, a warm apple crisp and a hay ride?
Warm Regards,
