Roscoe lands a big one

ROSCOE, NY — Roscoe, aka Trout Town USA, has acquired this eight-foot, carved wood trout sculpture by Fred Avila of Walton to grace the front of Verona’s Sunoco and Country Store on Old Route 17. It is part of Roscoe’s downtown gateway improvements, led by the Roscoe-Rockland Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Sullivan Renaissance and the Gerry Foundation.

The project title, “Roscoe Gateways,” celebrates Roscoe’s place as a gateway to the Catskills Mountains and to the region, while welcoming visitors and residents into downtown. This effort builds on past projects around the hamlet that garnered recognition and prize money from Sullivan Renaissance
