Colors, colors are everywhere…..what a great time of year to be a Ballston Spa-ian. So much to see to tease the eye in the form of foliage, pumpkins, apple orchards, corn mazes, haunted houses; even the purple and gold of Spirit Week is an inviting change of pace to the aquas and hot pinks that, in my mind, feel like summer.
The best part about what there is to see is how you can enjoy, it with simply a sweater, a hat and some good walking shoes. Our recent First Friday, Block Party in Wiswall Park and Chili/Chowder cook-off are prime examples.
I challenge you to keep walking about town and join the fun of our first “Shop Local” contest brought to you by Our Towne, the Ballston Journal and the BSBPA. Its an exciting way to get out and explore select neighborhood merchants while increasing your chances to win great gift certificates just in time for the holiday shopping season. If you’ve never really found the motivation to peek behind the doors of a local shop: this is it!
Weekly prizes of $25 gift certificates will be awarded leading into the Grand Prize drawing of $500 worth of ‘em! You can enter as often as you wish and no purchase is necessary although I would assume it would be difficult NOT to buy something at the locations participating.
So go on, make a memory with the simple pleasures by hiking around the colorful neighborhood and breathing in all there is to offer. Is there any better way, to leave the stress of the world behind, then to share a few giggles, a warm apple crisp and a hay ride?
Warm regards,
