Just Five Days To Go! Warrensburg’s Famous Garage Sale This Weekend!

Written by Kate Haggerty on . Posted in Community, Featured.

Warren County keeps the fall activities rolling! As the hot air balloons are packed up after the 50th Annual Balloon Fest this past weekend, all eyes shift to Warrensburg… Beginning on Friday, September 29th, and ending Sunday, October 1st, the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce will be holding “The World’s Largest Garage Sale” with over 500 Vendors. This event stretches all along Main Street in Warrensburg, and into the side streets and neighborhoods all throughout the town. This combination of flea market, craft fair and food festival takes over the town! 

This garage sale is not for the faint of heart! It attracts over 100,000 shoppers as well as vendors from all over the country. Vendors sell antiques, memorabilia, clothing, furniture, electronics, and more!

Warrensburg has added train and shuttle services to help alleviate traffic issues. This year, a shuttle service will be available from the Thurman Train Station to the Warrensburg Recreation Field. This shuttle will help to reduce the number of cars, and Recreation Field is centrally located, so the visitor can set off on foot and see various vendors. 

Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce has also partnered with the Saratoga and North Creek Railway to offer “Garage Sale Train Tickets”. Visitors coming from the Saratoga area can make a day of the garage sale! The train is boarded at the Saratoga Depot, and takes an hour and a half scenic ride to Thurman Station. Once at Thurman Station, visitors can take a shuttle to Warrensburg Recreation Field. 

The garage sale first began towards the tail end of the 1970s, and had about twenty sellers during the first year… Today, this event brings about two-million dollars to the local economy, and entices visitors to enjoy the Adirondacks while the fall foliage is near its peak – combining the joys of bargain hunting with a street fair atmosphere, and adding extra value for leaf peepers.

Tips for attending the garage sale: have plenty of cash on hand, dress in layers, bring a backpack, wear comfortable shoes… AND ARRIVE EARLY!

The Ahimsa Festival is This Weekend: Soul-Healing, Movement, and Music

Written by Megin Potter on . Posted in Columns, Community, Entertainment, Featured, In the Arts, News.

Amid the beautifully colored leaves, a gathering of seekers and world-class teachers will again converge on the historic grounds of Lakota’s ’s Farm in Cambridge for the Ahimsa Yoga and Music Festival, September 23rd– 24th.

The Ahimsa Festival invites you to relax and release all those energies that no longer serve you. Let stress melt away in a nourishing environment of like-minded individuals within the earth-centered elegance of Lakota’s ’s Farm, a rolling 34-acre expanse of grass, ponds, and grazing horses.

Get a spiritual high from a schedule that includes approximately 20 different wellness sessions daily. These 90-minute workshops include yoga, meditations, and sound bath healings that settle your mind and focus your awareness. 

“Our goal is to bring people together in a safe place to connect on an amazing property. This festival is special because it has all these amazing offerings all in one spot,” said event organizer Kristen Zorda, owner of Yoga Mandali in Saratoga Springs. 

Steady the Mind, Restore the Soul

The Ahimsa Festival, which was founded in 2012, attracted more than 200 attendees from around the country last year. The ancient idea of Ahimsa, which means “non-violence” in Sanskrit, is an approach that encourages distinctions to fall away in this soothing space, creating a broader sense of compassion for all living beings, and inspiring a deeper sense of personal growth.

Kimberly Revet, owner of the Wedding Barn at Lakota’s Farm is passionately living her dream on the property, imbuing it with an energetic satisfaction that is palpable. 

In this nourishing environment, visitors further their spiritual development and experience the restorative teachings of a variety of skilled instructors including: the revered Patrick Franco, founder of the award-winning, internationally-acclaimed YogaRenew teacher training program; the dynamic Raghunath Cappo, co-founder of Supersoul Yoga and Farm; the Kripalu School of Yoga’s vibrant Coby Kozlowski; and former local Cindy Lundsford, the previous owner of several studios in the area including Hot Yoga Saratoga. 

Take part in the wealth of engaging activities, meditation sessions, Bhakti, Vinyasa, aerial, and chair-supported yoga in the 150-year-old post-and-beam Bhakti Barn and the welcoming Ganesha Tent, rain or shine. 

Release Further by Extending Your Stay

Adding to your transcendent experience, all weekend long attendees will have the opportunity to shop the Ahimsa Festival’s Vendor Village – a gathering of 20-30 food, beverage, craft, and wellness vendors selling clothing, jewelry, art, health products, meditation aids, and more. 

Hear the healing spiritual music of the New Orleans-based Sean Johnson and the Wild Lotus Band, and listen to the therapeutic sounds of the SOMA Kirtan Band. On Saturday night, DJ and digeridoo musician Ifa Halima Bumi leads an electrifying dance party as blazing bonfires illuminate the grounds.

Stay the night while reconnecting with the Earth in Lakota’s Farm’s limited rustic onsite camping. Just minutes away, find event partner, The Preserve Battenkill River Glamping, an idyllic riverfront retreat offering deluxe tent cabins, glamping cabins, and a geodesic stargazing dome. There is a riverside wood-fired sauna, pizza oven, fire pits, kayak/canoe boat launch, free Wi-Fi, an Outpost Resort Store for essentials, and the Provisions Food Truck offering a farm-to-table menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner choices. For glamping reservations and more information, go to https://battenkillresort.com

The Ahimsa Yoga and Music Festival opens Saturday, September 23rd, at 9am and concludes Sunday, September 24th, at 5pm. Single Day passes start at $199; Weekend passes start at $349. For tickets and event details, go to https://www.ahimsayogafestival.com

Three Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs) Spotted In Lake George

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Featured.

Three confirmed harmful algal blooms (HABs) were spotted in three different bays on Lake George on September 12th: Basin Bay, Huddle Bay, and Oneida Bay. This is the first sighting of a HAB in the northern basin of the Lake.

The blooms in the Lake’s southern basin were discovered by researchers for The Jefferson Project, with the bloom near Hague being spotted by LGA Water Quality Research Manager, Brea Arvidson. Photos for all three were sent to NY’s Department of Environmental Conservation, which confirmed the sightings as HABs and put them on its NYHABS map.

The Jefferson Project is currently analyzing samples of the blooms for genome and toxins to determine the species, if it is toxic, and if it carries the gene for toxins. Results are expected in the last week of September. Previously occurring HABs in Lake George have not been toxic.

The Jefferson Project team will also analyze the data it collects on Lake George to help identify the cause of these blooms. What is immediately apparent: Two of the HABs showed up in the same vicinity as last year, but a month earlier than the confirmed October 26, 2022 blooms in Basin and Huddle bays.

The small but recurring number of HABs on Lake George is what prompted the LGA to start its AlgaeWatch community science program in 2022. AlgaeWatch volunteers monitor shoreline or near-shore areas around their homes, businesses, or other areas they frequent, documenting and reporting any algae growth they see to the LGA. This information helps the LGA track the extent of ongoing blooms, and guides the establishment of HAB sampling locations for The Jefferson Project.
