Pound Ridge Harvest Festival



Northern Westchester, I hope you’re all ready for one of the biggest Autumn celebrations in the area!

On Saturday, October 7, come on down to the Pound Ridge Town Park and enjoy the Pound Ridge Harvest Festival! This is an event that has been around since 2011, and while it initially started as a small fundraiser for the town that took place in the small business district, it has since grown to feature beer gardens, Oktoberfest-style food, activities for everybody, and music from artists that are known around the world.

For food and drink options, there will be food from local vendors, a variety of food trucks, a wine and beer garden for adults, and a root beer garden for kids. Snack options there for kids include cotton candy, caramel apples, popcorn, and apple cider donuts. 

One of the interesting stand outs at the event is all the activities for kids there. One of these is what is called a “wizardry experience,” where kids will have the opportunity to make their own wand, go on a haunted maze ride, and play a toilette toss game. Other fun activities include a bungee hoop, a euro bungee, mini golf, face painting, tie-dye t-shirts, pumpkin decorating, and a variety of carnival games like a shooting gallery, a balloon dart toss, a bottle ring toss, and a goldfish game.

The main highlight of this event is the live music. In previous years they have had popular bands such as Spin Doctors, Everclear, Gin Blossoms, and Blues Traveler. This year is no exception, as the headliner is going to be New Orleans jam band Galactic featuring artist Anjelika “Jelly” Joseph.



The event will start at 1:00 and end at 6:00, with the main concert starting at 4:30. Parking is at the nearby elementary school, with buses to bring you to and from the park.

So head on down and have some amazing food and cocktails, play some fun games, and listen to some beautiful music!

As you probably all remember, I have written about several malls in New York and Connecticut, and today I am going to write about another one! Today I am going to talk about the Poughkeepsie Galleria, which is a mall that has two floors, a total of 1,100,000 square feet, and a total of 105 businesses including four anchor tenants, which makes it the largest shopping center in Dutchess County. In this blog post, I will be discussing the history of the mall and the various businesses there, in hopes that it will convince all of you reading to check it out. The mall first opened on August 1, 1987, and it featured five anchor stores, which were G. Fox & Co., Jordan Marsh, Lechmere, Filene’s, and JCPenney, all of which have since closed. Several other businesses joined the mall after moving from the next-door South Hills Mall, which were Steinbach and Sears, both of which have also since closed.  I will now go over all the business that are at the mall, and I hope any or all of them...

Over the years, I have enjoyed going to a lot of beaches in the state of Connecticut. There are several good reasons for that, as there aren’t that many beaches here in Westchester County, and all the beaches in Connecticut that I have been to are all fun to walk along and have unique features. In this blog post, I will be writing about all the Connecticut beaches I have been to over the years in hopes that it will encourage all of you reading to go visit them. The first beach that I am going to talk about is in Milford, which is one part of the Connecticut Audubon Society Coastal Center at Milford Point. The beach itself is is 8.4 acres, provides easy access to the Long Island Sound and its many habitats, including tidal salt marshes, barrier beaches, tide pools, and coastal dunes. There are many other features here besides the beach, as 315 species of birds have been seen here, including many rarities, an osprey camera that livestreams to the entire world, and the main building there...
