If you're looking for some good family fun this summer, head to Cluett-Schantz Memorial Park in Milton, NY.  Located on Route 9W, between Highland and Newburgh, this park has something for everyone. Every Friday evening at 7:00, head out to the park to hear local bands perform under the stars. Pack a blanket and a picnic basket for a romantic evening of music or bring the kids and let them dance and sing along. I love to walk the trail around "round pond"- a local nickname for the park. It's great exercise and so peaceful walking along the water's edge. There's also, a pavilion with picnic tables, basketball courts, and a soccer field where my neice, Daniele, practices with her travel team.  You'll love "Yoga in the park" every Saturday morning, there's also adult line dancing classes, ... 06/30/2008

I enjoy supporting the local community; I take advantage of farmer's markets and the like. For the past few years I have also picked my own fruit. I wanted to extend the same opportunity to you, especially since it is now peach season. One farm I like is Prospect Hill Orchards. They are located in Milton, NY, in Ulster County. You are welcome to check them out at http://www.prospecthillorchards.com/, and in person. Happy picking, and I may see you there! 08/05/2007
