What's New In Glens Falls

Singer, pianist and songwriter Tony DeSare is back in Glens Falls, NY for his annual "Home For the Holidays Concert" on November 23 and 24. He will be performing all of his favorite covers and his own hits at the Charles Wood Theater at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 23, and at  2:00 pm on Sunday, November 24.

"With his dark hair, bright brown eyes and toothpaste smile that rarely fades," raved The New York Times, "DeSare is one of the most promising young male performers. He is a Sinatra acolyte in his early 30's who sings Prince as well as Johnny Mercer." According to USA Today, "DeSare belongs to a group of neo-traditional upstarts stretching from Harry Connick Jr, to Michael Bublé and Jamie Cullum. DeSare covers old and newer pop and jazz standards without smothering or over-thinking the material."

Tony was born and raised in Hudson Falls, New York to a musical family. I was able to ask Tony a few questions while he was home for the holidays.

gfhs football.jpgThe Glens Falls High School football team is going to Syracuse this weekend to play in the biggest high school football game in its' history, the Class B state football championship. The Indians will be playing against top ranked Maine-Endwell (12-0) at 3 p.m. on Saturday, November 23, inside the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. The Indians made it to the Carrier Dome by beating Malboro High School 28-17 last Saturday, November 17, in Kingston. The last time Glens Falls made it close to the championship was in 1993, when they lost in the state semifinals. 

I asked junior Zack Infield a few questions to see how the team was preparing for the big game coming up this weekend.

"Thanksgiving is just one week away and two days after that, it's Small Business Saturday. Your Chamber is putting together an electronic flyer, FREE OF CHARGE, showcasing all of our member's special offers going on for this event. But we can't add them unless we know about them."
There is a new bike shop that opened up in downtown Glens Falls in October and is ready to help the community stay healthy! Dan and Paul Fronhofer have opened up Grey Ghost Bicycles in downtown Glens Falls on Glen Street. Their bike shop is a place where discerning riders can go to gain knowledge, share stories, and join the growing cycling community in the Glens Falls area. 

You can be a part of the growing cycling community on Saturday mornings at 8:30 a.m. in front of their shop to join them on their "Bagel & Coffee Ride." The Saturday morning bike rides are a great way to stay in shape and feel healthier throughout your weekend. I stopped by to find out more from both of the Fronhofer's ....
