November's Event Review

So it was a little 'nippy' fortunately there were plenty of excuses to duck into one of the many great stores in town to warm up. Lubins and Links opened in the old Pretty Funny space and did a roaring trade in hot dogs and lubins (apparently a type of shaved meat sandwich) each with their own signature topping - delicious!
Nu Toys threw an opening party and received a very enthusiastic reception from the youth set and their parents. All toys at Nu are on sale for less than retail (even lower than K-Mart) and include a great selection of Fisher Price, Melissa and Doug and Playmobil. They also carry a good selection of used toys (and I believe these are largely unopened) at great prices.
Riverview Wines held a wine tasting and showed off their new interior - they have expanded sales floor, added new lighting and greatly increased their stock of very reasonably priced wines.
Premier Performing Arts braved the cold to hand out information about their upcoming production of Forever Plaid, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society were also out and about - you can find out about their team in training program at www.teamintraining.org, if you new year's resolution is to get fit this is great way to make sure you get that done!
Tarrytown Nursery held a wonderful open house with pizza, brownies and lots of very tiny people running around having a good time - they have a registration day coming up in Jan so contact them if you are interested in a place for next year. Y-Dance shook their tail feathers in the YMCA gym with plenty of world rhythm to keep you warm.

Thanks to everyone who donated to the food drive - all donations were delivered to Westchester Food Bank who will put them to good use. The Rotary will be continuing to collect food donations at December's event.

There's a full schedule of holiday events coming up in town. There's a green giving fair at the library this weekend (Nov 29 12 noon -3pm). The tree lighting in Patriot's Park is on December 6th at 5pm, followed by the Library's Holiday Party and I think Frosty and Rudolph will be putting in an appearance for pictures at December's Third Friday (19th).

Enjoy the holidays, enjoy your families and enjoy our town and all it has to offer.

November's Third Friday - Friday November 21st

November's Third Friday is fast approaching.  The leaves have pretty much fallen, there's an occasional chill in the air and thoughts are turning toward the holidays.

Most of us are trying to make a dollar go further this holiday season and shopping and dining locally is a great way to achieve that goal.  Our local merchants know their products and services intimately, they can help you find ways to stretch your dollar and offer a level of service that you will not find elsewhere.  

Now on to Friday's schedule - please click on the links below for a full schedule of events.

Y-Dance will be holding a World Rhythm Dance Jam, Tarrytown Nursery are having an open house, there will be a holiday themed kids craft presented by EF Students and host families and we'll be running Food Drive for Westchester Food Bank - so bring us your canned and dry goods (make yourself feel better by helping out someone else!).

See you next Friday!

October's Review

It was a crisp, brisk and bustling night about town!  The pumpkins were out, witches, ghosts and scarecrows hung from the lamp posts and once again Tarrytown was the place to be!

Over one hundred pumpkins were decorated, thanks to Mary-Lou and Danielle of the Arts Council (a very welcome return, even if just f

or one night).  The Rec Dept was taken over by ghouls of various descriptions and their 'haunted van' entertained the traffic on Broadway as 

they took brave souls to and from the Haunted House in Patriot's Park.  

Legends Realty held a great open house complete with Clown an

d popcorn, Whimisies celebrated their 20th anniversary, the boy scouts sold popcorn, the restaurants all had specials, in short the town

was jumping.  Finally, we were happy to get another visit from State Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins and thank her for her continued support of Third Friday!

We are gearing up for another evening of fun and activity in November and will be holding a food drive for Second Harvest - more of that later.  Please keep coming out and enjoying our town and and support our merchants this holiday season!
