Cobleskill Has the Spirit of the Holidays

By Elizabeth Barr

COBLESKILL — A December to Remember Committee in Cobleskill is in the process of making snowmen out of tires.  They will be available to businesses to purchase.  There is a minimum donation of $30 or more for each snowman, check or cash paid to CPI of Cobleskill.  Deliveries will be on December 1st.  Once you have purchased the snowman, it will be yours to keep.  We hope they will be displayed every year during the Holiday season.  Please contact Donna Gunzinger at 518-281-0931 if you would like one. A big thank you goes out the PJ’s Auto and Tire Center for the use of their building and all the painting they did.  Thanks goes out to Kelly’s Farm & Garden, DBA Cobleskill Agway, and Aubuchon Ace Hardware for donating the paint and Jubilee Thrift Store for their donation of Scarves.

A December to Remember committee is requesting that everyone in the community turn on their porch lights from December 1st – 31 from 5 – 8 pm to show the holiday spirit. 

On Saturday, December 6th the parade will begin at 5 pm.  The tree lighting in Veterans park will end the parade.  Then head down to Cobleskill Fire House, the Cobleskill Fire Department Inc. Auxiliary Company will be working with A December to Remember from 6 – 8 pm sponsoring pictures from Santa and Mrs. Claus and gifts from Santa.  There will also be hot chocolate, cookies, popcorn, and craft activities. Children can write and send letters to Santa – the mailbox is at the firehouse. 

Area churches will be singing at the 4th Annual Christmas caroling in Veterans Park on Sunday, December 21st at 4 pm.  The Brick House Bakery will have refreshments after caroling. Happy Holidays!
