Auxiliary planning bake sales

SHERIDAN -- The Sheridan VFW Auxiliary met Oct. 12 at the Post. Members are planning a bake sale once a month on a Friday night starting at 4 through the winter in conjunction with the Lakeshore Flea Market. During the winter months, the flea market is held at the Sheridan VFW, usually the first full weekend of the month. Members discussed hosting another bingo. This will take place in March with a date to be announced as we get closer. The theme will be St. Patrick’s Day. In February 2025, the group held a very successful Valentine’s bingo. The next meeting of the auxiliary will be Nov. 9 at 6:30.

Area in peak of foliage season

The progression of bright and vibrant fall colors across New York State continues this weekend with peak foliage throughout much of the Capital-Saratoga, Greater Niagara, Chautauqua-Allegheny and Hudson Valley regions, and near-peak and peak leaves dominating the Finger Lakes and central and southern portions of the Thousand Islands. Leaves in the Adirondacks and Catskills will be mostly past-peak, while foliage at midpoint of change is sweeping across Long Island. This is according to the field reports from volunteer observers for the Empire State Development Division of Tourism's I LOVE NY program.

Locations with the most significant changes include Lake George (Adirondacks); Voorheesville, Troy and Schenectady (Capital-Saratoga); Catskill (Catskills); Amsterdam (Central New York); Moravia, Auburn, Elmira, Syracuse; Watkins Glen, Ithaca and Penn Yan (Finger Lakes); Chautauqua and Jamestown (Chautauqua-Allegheny); Buffalo, East Aurora, Batavia, Lewiston and Albion (Greater Niagara); Pulaski and Oswego (Thousand Islands-Seaway); and Hudson, Newburgh, Cornwall-on-Hudson, Goshen and Bear Mountain (Hudson Valley).
