So get yourself downtown to celebrate the 154th anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla. And don’t forget your mother — doesn’t she look fabulous? Not a day over 29!* Happy Mother’s Day to all you Moms out there!

Snow, Farmer’s and Shopping in Peekskill

Leave a comment

You may need that snow shovel one last time on Sunday. The last snowy hurrah! before the spring solstice.
peekskill-weather-3-20
But, spring is in the air downtown this Saturday.

There’s the Peekskill Farmer’s Market making it’s 2016 debut. It will be held not in it’s usual place on Bank Street, but on the plaza in front of the Peekskill Field Library. More info here.

And don’t miss the the indoor market at the Peekskill Flatz. They have food, pottery, clothing and much more!
