Oh, No!

I'd been driving past the Gallagher Farm nearly every day, looking for that wonderful sign that would say "SWEET CORN" - but it hadn't appeared. And this note from Cindy explains why:

Wanted to let folks in the area know that Gallaghers Farm will not be selling sweetcorn this year- we truly miss providing the service to our town but physical ailments on behalf of one of the major "pickers" (Cindy) caused Paul to make the decision that the work is too taxing for the time being - so he didn't plant any for his wife to sell. We hope that people will frequent the many other places to buy fresh vegetable such as Pryputniwitz (sp?) family on Rt 12, Savicki's Farm market on Rt 12, Moshers market below Bouckville and the local farmers market. If Gallaghers have extra from this year's small and late plantings- Kristen Gallagher may sell some at the farmers' market.

She also added:

Roseann Gallagher is currently in the Lutheran Home for rehab following her most recent stroke. She is in room 216 and is improving daily. Would appreciate continued visits and calls from friends. This lady won't be still for long - has already attended bowling at the home and has visited Mrs. Belfield - also a new resident. Hopefully she will be home in 2-3 weeks.

KEEP this in MIND for the 17th & 18th!!!

Nicki Suba sent me this poster, yesterday - made by Kristin Strohmeyer - and a letter which read: "this poster announces an upcoming garage sale to support a bunch of boys who are working toward a trip. 15 scouts and their families are holding fundraising events to sponsor a trip to SeaBase."

"The Florida National High Adventure Sea Base is owned and operated by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America to offer unique educational aquatic programs to our members. Located in Islamorada, the heart of the Florida Keys, the near shore reefs offer unparalleled opportunities for long term and short term programs year round"

The boys will be sea kayaking, scubadiving, snorkeling and every other activity you could do on a spit of sand off the Florida Keys. It is a great opportunity for our boys and we are working diligently to make it happen. Thank you in advance for considering our cause!
Nicki Suba
Garage sale coordinator and host."

Doesn't that sound like a grand experience?
