Posted by Eric Hamilton in Event, Telling the Byway Stories

February is Story Telling month among the Friends of the Mohawk Towpath Byway! For our February 13 meeting we have a guest speaker bringing Native American stories from the Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse) tradition. Stephanie Fox will provide us with stories and traditions from the eastern Mohawk Valley including the significance of the Cohoes Falls and some of the other natural features along the area we affectionately call the Mohawk Towpath Byway corridor.
Join us for what promises to be a very informative evening, Tuesday, February 13 at 7 PM at the historic Grooms Tavern.

We have a Family Moonlight Ski scheduled for Thursday, January 25 at 7 PM at the main entrance to the Vischer Ferry Preserve. Unfortunately we also have a half inch of rain predicted between now and Wednesday and not much snow following the storm as temperatures fall. We will make a decision during the day on Wednesday whether to postpone until the next magical Thursday before the full moon.
