Things to Do This Weekend in Putnam County (Oct 24, 25, 26)

the_great_waterfall4_mcca.jpgPutnam County has another fun-filled weekend for you and your family.  The variety of activities offered is what makes Putnam County so unique. You can hike, with your leashed dog, at the Michael Ciaiola Conservation Area, Putnam County’s largest Conservation Area with over 800 acres, or stroll the beautiful grounds and enjoy the numerous activities this weekend at Boscobel House and Gardens in Garrison with its breathtaking views of the Hudson River (see schedule below).  

boscobel_hudson.jpgIf you are in the mood to sit back and relax for a good cause and listen to smooth jazz,  the Women’s Resource Center is holding their 19th Annual Benefit Concert -”A Woman’s Voice” Singing for Our Lives at the Town Crier, located at 130 Route 22 in Pawling.  The evening will feature performances from  KJ Denhart, Jane Kelly Williams, Dusty, Michelle LeBlanc, and 3 Sides 2 a Story. They are asking for a tax-deductible donation of $35.00 in advance or $40.00 at the door. 

This is also the last weekend to see “Murder in the Green” preformed by the Brewster Theater Company.  The play is about Thomas Devereaux, a successful architect and local contractor, and his beautiful wife, Joan, who just moved into their dream house in the quiet suburban town of Green Meadows, Illinois when they are visited by their new neighbors, Carolyn and Jeff Symons. A friendship develops quickly between the two couples, but underneath the cool, middle-America exterior, something is truly rotten. What follows is a thriller with twists and turns…..and murder.

On Sunday, pack up the kids and drive over to Sycamore Park in Mahopac for their Annual Harvest Festival. Everyone is welcome wit free parking and admission to all the activities. The Festival features games, prizes, various vendors, a Haunted-House, a fun trick or treat parade, live animals, and a D.J. and Karaoke machine. Everyone is a star at Sycamore Park. Bring your camera and dress up in your favorite Halloween outfit.

texas_taco_car.jpgTime for a little scare? Thunder Ridge Ski Area is holding it’s annual Haunted House and Hay Rides every weekend in October.  Have little kids who might be afraid of the adult haunting?  No problem, Saturday and Sunday Thunder Ridge will host a  special “Lights-On” event for children 7 years old and under.  Thunder Ridge is a fun place in Putnam County for you and your child to dress up in costumes and have a good time together.  On the way, stop by Texas Taco for an usual and taco lunch. The tacos are pretty good but you really go for the uniqueness of the building and the montage of contents on the inside.  Check out the bathroom while you are there - a large shark with great big teeth hangs overhead as a singing fish entertains you.

Families are welcome every Saturday from 1:00pm to 5:00pm until the end of the Fall Season to roller skate around or practice some hockey.  Or stop by the Farmer’s Market in Brewster or Cold Spring  (rain or shine) for fresh vegetables, pies, cookies, ciders, and breads.
