Hope you all enjoyed our Memorial Day Parade

Once again Millerton has done a wonderful job with our Memorial Day Parade and Ceremonies- Every year a few work tirelessly to plan the Parade and it's related activities-

I for one would like to thank the Millerton Fire Dept as well as the Police Dept, the Mayor and our Trustees for a job well done. This is not to diminish in any way all those volunteers and children who assisted in the planning and execution of a wonderful day for the citizens and guests of Millerton.

GOOD JOB - WELL DONE !!

Those of you who have pictures of the event and would like them posted to this blog please send them to Millertonny@gmail.com and we will do what we can to get as many up as we can.

Millerton NY "Shovel Ready"

Did you here the President's State of the Union speech- Well just to let the President know Millerton NY is "Shovel Ready"

Seems that is the buzz word for receiving funds from the Feds to improve our community- so President Obama " Show me the Money !"

Seriously folks if you can think of things that need to be done or improved in our Community please advise and submit your thoughts- We will make an effort as a Village to obtain some of the stimulus dollars available to improve our Town.

Thanks to Microsoft for this great view of our small and beautiful Village.

Many of you have asked how the Real Estate market is being effected by the current economic conditions- We are doing well- small towns take care of themselves as well as serve our guests- Please come and enjoy a day or two and see for yourself-

Shortly as the snow all melts away folks will be coming back to Millerton to ride our super Rail Trail- soon to be extended to the north.

Take a warm day and bring your kids your all welcome.

January 20, 2009 We celebrate a new President of the US

Today Jan 20,2009 we celebrate a new beginning in this Country-a new hope a new beginning- many of us in the Country have been life time Republicans- not unusual at all- but tomorrow we all recognize a change that MUST change the direction we are headed as a Nation. We are pleased to have Barack Obama represent us as our 44th President of this United States of America. Not corney at all to be proud of a person elected and believed in a way we have not seen for many many years- I am here to give you my support and best wishes as this Nation needs your leadership and compassion.

Good Luck Mr. President- stay well and God Bless America !!

Millerton Looks Great at any time of year

What has happened to Millertonny.com

Whats up with our towns website-www.Millertonny.com

Seems that there is very little representation from all our fine businesses- perhaps those in charge have dropped the ball.

Take a look at the site and send in your comments to this blog and we will get it to those in charge- seems there are many business that don't even have a photo of their business when they certainly have paid for it. Come on folks we can do a lot better and not favor one over others- we are an open community with great people and super small businesses. This economy requires we do all we can to help one another- lets get to it.

Looking for comments that can cure the problem-perhaps a web site creator who would like to help our community.

Keep your comments coming.
