Hilltowns Senior News for Thursday, March 29, 2018

Now that we have entered spring (we hope), we are all anxious to get out and about! So, with that being said, we have three trips open to our members and also to non-members. I know I have posted two of these before, but have added a third.

The first trip is on April 18 and we are going to take a tour of Saratoga National Park, which is about a 10-mile tour. Then we’ll finish the afternoon off with lunch at the Casino (buffet or food court) and we’ll have time for some slot-machine fun! The trip costs $15 for members and $30 for non-members.

Then we’ll have a trip to Lancaster Pennsylvania in May from the 23rd to the 25th where we will be visiting Longwood Gardens, seeing a new production at the Sight and Sound Theatre, “Jesus,” and seeing another show, “Grease,” at the Dutch Apple Theatre. We’ll have two nights of accommodations, shopping at Kitchen Kettle Village, visit the Bird In Hand Farmers’ Market and man other attractions. The cost for the trip is $400 for members and $420 for non-members.

Then in September, we will be traveling from Sept 17 to the 21st to Niagara Falls and Toronto with a guided tour of Niagara Falls and Toronto. Journey to the Falls on the HOrnblower Niagara Cruise, gaming at Fallsview Casino. We’ll visit Niagara-On-The-Lake and Queen Victoria Park then visit Casa Loma, Canada’s most magnificent castle. The trip costs $450 for members and $475  for non-members.

Just give Shirley Slingerland your reservation along with a deposit and join us for some fun-filled trips! You can reach her at 518-797-3467.

OK, folks — we are getting ready for some other day trips, so be watching for those. Also, our submissions to the Altamont Fair will have a safari theme so try thinking of something unique to enter at the craft building. Mine are already done.

Let’s all pray and send bear hugs to our president, Linda Carman, as she recovers from surgery. How we miss her!
