Tuesday

It's BIG TRASH DAY!

49 degrees.

WKTV predicts that: "On Tuesday, we expect sunshine to start the day. A few fair weather clouds will pop up, and then some thunderstorms and showers should develop. If there is any thunder, it would be south of Utica in the afternoon. Highs will be similar to what we saw Monday, in the mid 70s.
On Tuesday night, a storm system will travel across the Great Lakes and into the Northeast. While any strong to severe thunderstorms associated with this system should remain well to our south, we do expect to at least be broadbrushed by an area of heavy rainfall. Showers and rain are likely Tuesday night. The best chance for heavy rain is south of Utica. There could be a secondary area of moderate to heavy rain north of Utica as well. Clouds will be with us into the day on Wednesday, but some sunshine is expected in the afternoon, with highs around 70 or so."

Before I forget, again ......... On Saturday morning, just as the line for Hot Sausage was forming
at the Firemen's Pavilion, everyone who was uptown heard something different; they listened and then heard it again and cheered. The big bell in the tower of the Masonic Temple was striking the hour! It's been quite a while since the clock/bell mechanism has worked.

Thank You for repairing it, whoever you are!

CHENANGO CANAL TOURS

To help promote National Trail Day, the Chenango Canal Association (CCA) invites you to the Chenango Canal Towpath Trail at the Cottage Museum in Bouckville on June 7^th, between 1:00 and 4:00 pm. The CCA will offer two Living History tours of what life was like on the Chenango Canal during the 1800s. The bus tours, which are free of charge, are narrated by Diane Van Slyke and will leave the museum at 1:00 and at 2:30 pm. Weather permitting, the tours include a visit to a 171-year old lock, a short walk along part of the trail and talking with ‘canalers’ in period dress. Families can also learn canal terms while having fun with a Clues Hunt along the Towpath Trail. Refreshments are available.

National Trail Day is celebrated during Bouckville’s Spring Antique Show, another fun event that extends along Rt. 20 between Madison and Bouckville. Traffic is normally not hard to get through. Come and spend a rewarding afternoon! Call 315-893-7910 for more information; reservations for the tour are not necessary.
