LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — Representatives from all four Pecks Markets stores joined Rockland County Supervisor Pat Pomeroy and Art and Beth Peck for a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, August 7 at the new Livingston Manor Spirits Wine and Liquors, adjacent to Pecks Market. The latest expansion of the Pecks cooperative enterprise gives Livingston Manor its second wine and liquor store and offers people an alternative when it comes to purchasing wines and spirits.

Down the street, the new Medicap Pharmacy also had its ribbon cutting this past week. Pharmacist Mark Wegener looks forward to delivering personal attention to the people of Livingston Manor and nearby Roscoe, who used to have to drive to Liberty or Walton for their pharmaceutical needs.

Next door is the new office of Elliot and Pomeroy Real Estate. With the great revitalization going on in the area, the office is busy finding homes for people who now have even more reasons to settle in the lovely town on the Willowemoc Creek.

Kelly’s Kones is serving great ice cream, including summer favorites crème de menthe mint chip and kahlua amaretto. Customers who knew owner Kelly Sattler from her days at Mullally’s Pub chuckle at the alternatives to vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.

Kelly also serves hot dogs, hamburgers and cheese fries. The stand will be open until the end of October. Fall days with A.Y.S.O. soccer games will still be great times to buy delicious treats.
