WINTERFEST 2012

Written by Chamber | 23 December 2011

So, we do have a dusting of snow covering the land. This means that we must start thinking about Winterfest 2012 at the Carthage Park on Saturday, February 11, 2012: From 10am - 3pm.

FREE to the public, this day is always successful as the children and families of Carthage and surrounding areas look forward to the wonderful Winter activities.

We will be planning the events in the coming weeks, so please if you have any suggestions or wish to volunteer to help, call the Chamber office at 315-493-3590.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

SEASON'S GREETINGS TO THE CARTHAGE AREA. IS WINTER HERE YET? I SEE SOME WHITE STUFF OUTSIDE MY WINDOW, BUT I THINK I HEARD GEESE FLYING OVERHEAD YESTERDAY.

SPEAKING OF GEESE, OUR CARTHAGE MASCOTS - GERTY AND GUS - (THAT IS WHAT I CALL THEM) WEREN'T TOO KEEN ON ME VISITING GUYOT'S ISLAND A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. THE FURTHER FROM THE BRIDGE TO THE WATER I WALKED...THE MORE STERN THEIR SQUAWKS BECAME. SO BACK TO THE BRIDGE I QUICKLY STROLLED AND REMAINED AS I LISTENED TO THE RUSHING WATER AND WATCHED GERTY AND GUS ARROGANTLY WALK AWAY. THOUGH THEY DID KEEP A CONSTANT VIEW OF WHERE I STOOD!

I LIKE GERTY AND GUS. THEY REMIND US OF THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE. THEY ARE TRUE COMPANIONS AND PROTECT EACH OTHER. THEY ALWAYS SHARE THEIR FOOD AND NEVER LEAVE THE OTHER BEHIND. REGARDLESS OF SUMMER WARMTH OR WINTER'S BLUSTERY COLD THEY REMAIN TOGHETHER SEEKING SHELTER AND COMFORT AS ONE.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! MAY GERTY AND GUS REPRESENT THE TRUE MEANING OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP!
