The 2007 Season has ended at the Utica-Rome Speedway. The post-season weekend will be highlighted with a $10,000-to-win, 200-lap contest for the track's premier division of the 358 Modifieds and will be the final event of the year at the Route 5 speedplant. The two-day event is expected to draw several of the Northeast's top dirt 358 Modified race teams to Central New York in search of the large prize.

The weekend rains did more good than not to the flowers on S. Babbott and throughout the rest of the village.


They won't be using the watering can for a few days!
It's really too dark to see the pretty decorations on the porch at the Ruane residence on White Street, but the new "old" sidwalk - made with bricks from the old mill - is being admired by many.



On the brick pavers at "Stinkers" on Main Street - new outdoor seating!




Another newly-painted house - #18 on Bill Vetter's Summer List - is Mrs. Gibbons' residence on Osborn Avenue which now has deep teal-green shutters and a lovely pale green (almost pistachio-colored!) door!

Last week a reader mentioned the inaccuracies in the Wikipedia entry on "Waterville" and another reader, made a quick addition and has now added a link to "At Home in the Huddle 2"! (Thanks loads, Cathy!)

It's that time of year!
