Event Spotlights with Kari
We are so excited about the coming year and all the wonderful places and people yet to visit. Next week we head into Frankfort, Ilion, and Mohawk, "FIM country," as Richard calls it. We'll start with Frankfort on January 7th. We'll learn about the early history of the Palatine German settlers and then spice things up with a visit with Juanita and her Soul Classics seasonings and sauces.
Thanks for coming along during our first 2 years and hope you'll stay with us for new and exciting things in our 3rd!
Happy New Year, Sharry and Lance Whitney

Summit Park 1897-1926
Summit Park was built on the Oriskany Bluffs and opened on Memorial Day of 1897. Every day the park was open, thousands attended. Summit Park was very successful. The trolley system made the park accessible to people from all over the area, it had stops throughout Utica, Rome, Clinton, Frankfort, Ilion, Mohawk, Herkimer, and Little Falls. Among its attractions were a pavilion, an open air theater, amusement rides, ice cream parlors, an observation tower, a racetrack, penny arcades, a shooting gallery, and facilities for boat rides.
