Last week I was out and about at the GS Plumbing annual picnic down at Landers Campground hangar and had the pleasure to meet up with Jim Crowley’s mom Helen and his sister Cathy. They are in from Arizona visiting for a few months. Hope you ladies enjoy your stay.

The Cochecton Democratic Club’s penny social on Saturday, August 8 was a success thanks to our supporters, who donated so many lovely prizes, baked goods and special raffles. It was great to see so many of our neighbors from town and out of town. I enjoyed meeting Emily Furino’s great-grandkids, Helene Indelicato’s grandkids and other sweet youngsters who helped with the event. Thank you to our loyal workers, attendees and to Juan Rigal, Lisa and Carmen of the Nutshell. The children had the best fun. Everybody was a winner!

And thank you to Peggy Richardson, who sent me this note: “The last thing I heard was Eileen saying, ‘I have a sore throat.’ Eileen is our best caller, also a lucky gal to have won a grand prize and the 50/50. My grandkids ended up sleeping in on Sunday till 9:30 a.m. Van Winkles! Their mom is going to have kittens when she sees all their winnings.”

When you are out and about in Lake Huntington, remember on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. you can always stop by Genco’s Fire House Garage Sale. There’s art, antiques, tools collectables and much more. I am sure there is something Paul and Sharon can help you with. They are located at 6586 Rte. 52, in the old firehouse.

I wanted to give you a heads-up that Heinle’s General Store is hosting an Oktoberfest on Saturday, September 26 from 1 to 6 p.m. under the big tent in the ball field, starring Jimmy Sturr and his orchestra. For tickets visit www.heinlesgeneralstore.com; they cost $20 online or $25 at the gate.

You may remember that a week or so ago I told you about the Chicken Coop, which has reopened with new owners. I went there for dinner the other night and the chicken was incredibly juicy—it is fresh not frozen. All chicken is cooked fresh to order, so it takes about 20 minutes. They say life is short; eat dessert first. So I had a small twist cone, took my chicken home and all was right with the world.

My heart is so very saddened with the passing of Grace Johansen and Tom Kane (see pages 6 and 8). Please keep their families in your thoughts and prayers.

Have a great week and email leeniebeans@citlink.net or call 845/252-3568 if you have news.
