Car Show Coming to Cobleskill

COBLESKILL - On Friday afternoon, the Cobleskill Village Board held a special meeting to discuss the Wheels Along Main Street event and a handful of appointments and resignations.

The car show is held by the Rusty Bolt Gang, a well-known organization based out of Richmondville. They often collaborate with local businesses and they’ve held a number of seasonal car-themed events, like Cool Cars and Cones in Warnerville and their upcoming Trunk or Treat in Schoharie.

This time, the event plans to run the length of Main Street in the heart of Cobleskill on Friday, September 20th. Everyone from passersby to enthusiasts is welcome to peruse the collection of vehicles and head down to Veteran’s Park for food and other vendors.

After some deliberation by the Village Board, Mayor Rebecca Stanton-Terk and the other members approved the event, setting plans in motion for another fall car convention.

In other news, the Village Board discussed two resignations from their staff, as well a pair of new appointments to other roles.

Both Heidi-Lynn Wagner-Monte, the former Deputy Clerk-Treasurer, and former Patrolman Logan Wood sent in their final letters to the Board, both of which were accepted with an effective date for the month of August.

Shortly thereafter, Maureen Loupin was appointed to Ms. Wagner-Monte’s station of Deputy Clerk-Treasurer, and Chandler Willoughby was appointed to a full-time laborer with the sewer treatment plant.

Finally, after all other business had concluded, the Town of Cobleskill notably expressed their interest in changing the 2009 contract with the Village for rendering highway services.

This has been an ongoing issue for several months, as the contract has since expired and both parties are weighing their options of what would be best for them. However, no action has been taken at this time.
