Ice Cream Social...TONIGHT!!

Hello good folks of Treadwell! I hope your summer is going well. It has been H-O-T!!! It is expected to rain today, but it will still be hot enough to treat yourself to some ice cream. The above photo is of the old ice cream shop that used to be inside of the Croton House. And while the shop is no longer there, you can come down to ALK tonight at 7:00 p.m. for the Treadwell Ice Cream Social. We will have a very special guest, historical speaker Paul Stillman come and give a visual presentation about the Native American way of life. It promises to be a very tasty and entertaining evening. Hope to see you all there!

And for more great photos of the Croton House, be sure to check out our flickr account.

Art Reminder

Don't forget! The Treadwell Community Improvement Club is hosting the Student Art Awards at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow, June 8th at the Treadwell History Center. We had one student win first in New York State, as well as one club woman.

Everyone is invited!

Treadwell Lawn Sale Day is This Weekend!

The weather forecast calls for scattered thunderstorms this weekend, but we all know how quickly the weather can change in our lovely hamlet. So don't let that stop you from coming out to browse the annual Treadwell Lawn Sale Day this Saturday, June 5th! You may find that certain treasure, just like the two little girls seem to have in the above picture.

Put on your browsing shoes, (maybe grab an umbrella) and come see what items your neighbors are selling. Be sure to hit the streets early before all the good stuff is gone! If you get hungry, stop off at Barlow's for a deli sandwich and a pretzel stick.

Happy Hunting!

What a fun weekend and great parade! Helen Mitchell won the Citizen of the Year Award, and was presented a plaque by the Fire Department. Margo Kolenda wrote a great essay and her father did a great job of reciting it in her absence. Emma had a great delivery of the Gettysburg Address, Greg gave a very nice speech, and Father Joachim gave such nice blessings. It was quite muggy, but it was also very nice!

 Deborah Tuthill took some great photos of the ceremony, which you can see on the Treadwell Facebook page. If you have any great photos, feel free to upload them to the Facebook page, as well!

Happy Memorial Day!!!

I hope everyone is excited for the memorial day weekend! While enjoying the good food and great weather, please remember to give thanks to those who have served our country. And what better way to do that than to come out to the Treadwell Memorial Day Parade on May 31st!

The parade begins at 9:00 am and line-up starts at 8:30 am. This year, Greg Furlong, member of the Leatherstocking Honor Flight will be present. Emma Moon will be reading the Gettysburg Address, and we will also hear from the Treadwell Community Improvement Club Citizenship essay winner, Margo Kolenda. Father Joachim, the Abbott of the Treadwell Monastary, will give the Invocation and Benediction.

Have a safe and happy weekend!

Oh! and one more reminder: The Bookmobile will be in town June 1st from 2:20-3:00. What a great way to get started on your summer reading!
