Memorial Day Weekend

It may have been a soggy start to our summer kick off, but things are heating up in Greenwood Lake. We were the featured destination in the Living section of paper. Woo hoo!

By Monday there were people tubing out on the lake. And this week temps are forecasted to be in the upper 80s, the restaurants are in full gear and this coming weekend is the East Arm Rowing Club's Regatta, as well as the Spartan Race at Tuxedo Ridge.

Book Early for Summer

I'm trying to catch my breath after this past weekend's World Fishing and Outdoor Expo. The Waterstone Inn exhibited as part of the Greenwood Lake Merchants Guild. Here's the long and short of it: over 30,000 people attended the show! We received an overwhelming response to what Greenwood Lake has to offer. We were in the mix with tourism boards from Maine, Alaska, Lake Ontario etc and I'll tell you this: People were shocked that we have pretty much everything that these other locations have, AND are less than 50 miles outside of NYC.

There's also been a lot of interest from journalists from the Outdoor Writer's Association that would like to feature Greenwood Lake in upcoming articles. All I can say is that we rocked it at the show and I'm sure it will be a busy summer season. My advice: Book Early. See you at the Lake!

Lucy Look-Alike Contest & Grape Stomp

 Nothing like kicking off the Fall harvest season with a little I Love Lucy nostalgia at Palaia Vineyards. This is one of my favorite wineries that you can always count on for a good time and unique events. Today is the annual Lucy look-alike contest and grape stomp. Contestests dress their best and reenact the famous I Love Lucy episode. Usually there are a couple Ricky look-alikes to root on the ladies. If you're in the area go check it out. The grape stomp starts at 3 pm.
