Earth Day in Edgemont a Resounding Success

Our annual Earth Day clean-up and BBQ was a great success on so many levels.  Many thanks to all of the directors that helped organize and run this event and to all of the community members that came out to help and to enjoy the festivities.

The pots at the pond are beautifully planted, hopefully to Janice Gates Kelly's specifications!  Many thanks to her for designing the pots and purchasing the plants, again!

About six refuse bags of debris was cleaned up from the median triangle and the "Old Edgemont" rock bed.

Several people put on rubber gloves and took a walk along the BRP path to collect several bags worth of trash. Resident Deanna Elstrom came up with this idea and even continued the collection from the train station up along Ardsley Road.

Many thanks to the brave kids that fished trash out of Crane's pond with makeshift fishing rods.

Many thanks to the entire McCormack clan that comes out every year to help with this event.  They bring their grill and equipment and Tom cooks for everyone.  Most importantly, they help remind everyone in attendance why Old Edgemont is such a great place to live.

As always, Director Mike Levine provided the fun and games for the kids.  He is truly part camp counselor and part Santa Claus.  The games are always different and always enjoyed.  This year he had the participants racing to sweep sponges into dustpans and catching ping pong balls into plastic bibs they were wearing.  Earth Day at Crane's Pond wouldn't be the same without Mike's fun, games and prizes!

Early in the event we joked that we should have brought chalk to draw in the crosswalk that Frank Kaiman has been so diligently fighting for on our behalf (for almost FIVE years now).  It is too bad that we didn't because Paul Feiner stopped by towards the end of the event and many residents discussed the crosswalk with him and let him know, yet again, that WE WANT OUR CROSSWALK and WE WANT IT NOW!

Everyone enjoyed the BBQ food (especially the watermelon and the cookies!).  Leftover food was donated to the Open Arms Shelter in White Plains. They were very appreciative.

Again, many thanks to the directors and their family members that spent time and energy on this event (Jon Guttenberg, Thom Hamill, Christine Howard, Janice Gates Kelly, Mike Levine, Erin Sullivan-Theisen, Beth Stephens, Travis Stratford and Deirdre Verne) and the the community members that came out to enjoy it with us. And thanks most of all to Lauren Ricci Warren, our fearless leader, for heading up the entire event, getting us all where we needed to be when we needed to be there, and for providing a fun filled day for everyone!

Earth Day April 30th at 3:30pm

Each year we host an Earth Day Clean-up and BBQ at Crane's Pond. This year's event is scheduled for Saturday April 30th at 3:30pm (rain date is Sunday May 1st). At the clean-up, we plant the large pots, spruce up the beds, and get this beautiful park ready for the summer. This year, we are also planning a clean-up on the path along the Bronx River Parkway (between the Pipeline and the Scarsdale train station). There are also fun and games organized and run by one of our long-time directors, Mike Levine. After all the work is done, the association treats everyone to a BBQ dinner. Please plan to join us - bring your gardening gloves and the whole family!

Earth Day 2010 Pics

The Earth Day 2010 was a hit! Thanks to all of those who participated. Here are some of the pictures!

Hartsdale Farmer's Market

Here's an update from Town Supervisor Paul Feiner regarding the Hartsdale Farmers Market.

_____________________________________________________________________

E Hartsdale Ave has had a farmers market on the avenue during the summer/fall months for over 17 years. We ran one of the first farmers markets in Westchester. Since we started the market, many other localities in Westchester have started even more successful markets. The E Hartsdale Ave farmers market has been smaller and less festive than other markets. That's going to change---for the better.

The Greenburgh Town Board issued an RFP earlier this year to farmers-market organizers. Community Markets, which runs the successful Croton on Hudson, Katonah-Lewisboro, Larchmont, Ossining, Pleasantville, Morningside Park and Park Slope farmers markets, will oversee the management of our farmer's market this summer/fall. There will be no costs to the taxpayers.

There will be more farmers...more vendors...more food and choices. The market begins Saturday, June 19th from 8:30 AM to 1 PM on E Hartsdale Ave. We are trying to open up a 2nd farmer's market in Greenburgh.

TOWN CLERK JUDITH BEVILLE IS LOOKING FOR MUSICIANS WHO ARE WILLING TO DONATE THEIR TIME AND TALENT TO OUR SUMMER OUTDOOR CONCERT SERIES --AT THE FARMER'S MARKET. E MAIL TOWNCLERK@GREENBURGHNY.COM if you would like to perform.
