Hello everyone,

Our parks are just a little better off today because of the efforts of a number of people over the past week and half.

Thank you to Judy Kattman and a couple of teenage girls for giving the Newburgh Park and the Fortress of Fun some tender loving care.

Saturday, July 25th was the Beef O'Brady's Summer Jam Beer Garden. John Greenwell, the owner, donated $250 to Historic Newburgh, Inc. to be given to the Town Of Newburgh Parks along with Pub Crawl donations.

Then Sunday, the 26th, from 1pm - 8pm the Newburgh Trolley, the American Legion bus and the WATS bus ferried people from one local restaurant to another during the 3rd annual Newburgh Pub Crawl. Almost $1000 was raised for our Town of Newburgh Parks. Thanks to all that participated!

There is talk of a 4th of July parade for next year. We will start planning soon for 2012. Those of you interested in being involved, please contact the committee through Historic Newburgh, Inc. office.

Historic Newburgh Farm Market

Every Saturday Morning through October 29th

8am - noon

Here is what we anticipate being at the market this week. There should be new potatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, peaches, tomatoes and possibly green beans. The artists, plants and flowers, and meats will also be there.

What happens if it rains??

We have had some experience with rain now.

If it rains, the market will still be open for business.

Every Saturday our vendors donate an item. Buy one chance for $1.00 or 3 chances for $2.00 to enter the drawing. It is great fun and a lot of really great items.
