Around the Neighborhood - Seward - 11 January 2026

Welcome to 2026! I hope the start of year has been good to all so far. This year my family has hit the ground running! Dalton will be stage crew for the musical they are hosting this year, Frozen! This is a huge undertaking for the students and staff. Some of the biggest stage scenes to build! If you would like to support the musical they are looking  for people to buy tickets, or add an add to the pay bill. Please see Dominga Lent, tell her Dalton Clapper sent you!

Snowmobile trails are now open! Thank you to Sharon Pathfinders for their hard work and all the volunteers.  I know my boys love to ride. Did you know you could join the Sharon Pathfinders club? Your dues will help them to maintain the trails, go online or get ahold of Ray Roes.

Looking for a free activity for you or a child? The Polar Plunge reading challenge began at the Cobleskill Community Library. Stop in to grab your form and some books! Did you also know the library has movies to rent for free? A good way to spend a cold winter's night.

Giving back to the community: January 15, at 6:00 p.m. os the next FFA alumni meeting, located by the greenhouse,  but inside. Help high school kids to develop into leaders and keep farmers strong in our community. The Wheels for Community also had their monthly  meeting.  They have started planning for their 2026 calendar year! The Seward Farmers and Artisans Market will have their meeting this month to start preparing for this year as well!  Our local Seward Town park might be able to get some updates this year. What do you think we should  add? Come to the town board meeting on Monday,  January 12, at 6:30 p.m.

Next Saturday is the ice fishing derby at East Worcester Fish and game club will be on January 17, at 9:00 a.m. they will have breakfast sandwiches for sale.  A good time for kids and adults! I believe it is a $10 entry fee.

Don't forget the Mill will be open this Saturday from 8:00-5:00. Stop in to meet the owners, get a tour. Grab some milk and grain. I will share the flyer below. 

Local business Spotlight: Windcrest Farm, located at 565 Lawyersville Road, run by the VanEvera family. This store is loaded with goods! Like local beef, chicken and eggs. They also offer Kongs dairy Mickle Hallow honey, Stone House maple syrup and more!

With the start of 2026, I would like to offer Senior sharing! Please text me information on your senior, a photo to share and I  will get them added to my column! 518-337-3722

Thank you to our town staff for keeping our roads safe!
