Cambridge, NY....Sophisticated country living

Winter is officially here! Temperatures were in the teens this morning and a light dusting of snow has been falling since last evening. Now I know some of you really don't look forward to the snow, but for folks in Cambridge, NY it means a beautiful white holiday season. My spruce scented candles are making the house feel cozy and bright (especially because I don't have a fireplace).

There are big doings around the area too. The Rice Mansion Inn is all done-up and Christine and Jeff will host their annual open house on Saturday, Dec. 9th. 1-4 pm. Drop in and celebrate the season with your neighbors.

Holiday happenings aside, have you seen the construction going on around the Historic Cambridge Freight Yard! Wow!!! The septic system is going in. I know, I know, excited about a septic system. Well...yeah! It's a most unusual design that will be environmentally sound and energy efficient. All the details will be in the upcoming Freight Yard newsletter - look for it around the area.

I also want to let you all know about the new Towns and Villages of the Battenkill Valley Association The association members cover the Greenwich, Salem, Cambridge, NY triangle and caters to all your tourism needs. It's also a source for information on upcoming events and special tours in the area. Check out the web site for all your tourism needs.



So happy holidays to everyone. If your looking for a white Christmas, visit Cambridge, NY....Norman Rockwell could not have painted a more perfect village scene.
