The Eagle Has Landed: Catskill-opoly

After a day of lugging boxes around with my new FedEx friend - I’m beyond excited to announce that after months of careful design and production, Catskill-opoly has officially landed in the Catskills!

This 100% Catskill-inspired board game is packed with local landmarks, from fire towers to reservoirs and rivers, from getting caught in snow storms, to bears getting into your trash, and fly fishing adventures.

This project has been a true labor of love, created with input from all of you. I can't wait to hear stories from your first game nights! Stay tuned for announcements about which local shops will be carrying the game.

Limited supplies on the first production run, so if you want one, act fast! Excited to see what we all create next.

Last Call: Burger Quest Nominations

The quest for the best burger in the Catskills is on! With nearly 400 nominations already, it's clear, I need to start a serious workout regimen.

Only burgers Nominated by Crew Members can compete for the title of Greatest Burger, deadline Sunday, Jan 19th at 5pm. After nominations close I’ll announce brackets, rules, and rating system. Let the quest begin.

Crew Event: Waves to Woods

We’ve teamed up with our good friends over at Jetty and West Kill Brewing to throw a Waves to Woods event on Saturday, Feb 1st from 12-7pm. We’re gathering friends, neighbors, and strangers to hang by the fire and drink some beers at the brewery. There will be tunes from our buddy DJ Whippoorwill, a food truck, Jetty box truck with tons of merch (including a limited edition Catskill Collab), and more! A portion of the proceeds will go to support the legendary work of Trout Unlimited.

Night Sky: Mars

On January 15th - Mars will be at opposition, meaning Earth will be at its closest approach to the Red Planet, making it appear seven times larger and significantly brighter than usual. The show starts at sunset (4:51 PM) when Mars rises, and if you miss the exact date, no promlemo - you'll have great viewing opportunities for several weeks before and after the main event.

Trivia: Civil War

Adopt Pets: Clarice, Lucky, and…

Our pets of the week are bringing triple the charm! Meet Clarice, an 11-year-old beagle who just arrived at the shelter, Lucky, a shy but sweet torti cat looking for a patient home, and Henry, our first-ever featured chicken!
