Into the Final Stretch

This week is Traver's Week in Saratoga Springs which marks the entrance into the final stretch of the local horse racing season.  Well, the same can be said for my campaign to bring the Uptown Troy Community Harvest Festival back this year through the Refresh Everything program. Only 11 voting days remain and the winners are determined by the placement in the ranks as of 11:59 PM on Wednesday, August 31st.

$10,000 is a good sum of money and will allow me to expand on last year's event.  In addition to the Bounce House and carnival games, prizes, food & fun, I'm hoping to bring something to these families that they've never seen before - Mr. Cello.  Most kids in these neighborhoods have never seen a cello let alone heard someone play one.  So happens that Mr. Elisha's mother was an educator in the Lansingburgh School District, teaching string instruments.  His roots are here in Troy and he is happy to offer his program as part of the festival.

Most importantly, save or salvage as many of those yellow pepsi caps that you can and drop off at any of our Cap Collection Centers: Smokers Choice in Troy Plaza, Troy Discount Beverage Center in South Troy or High Maintenance, Low Budget Consignment Shop in Lansingburgh.  Remember, together we can.
