PUBLISHER’S NOTE
Summer KICK OFF
A
s we kick off the start of the summer season it can’t go unnoticed for what a year it’s been. When we rang in 2020 none of us could have imagined how the months ahead would unfold the way they did. This July 4th will look different but in many ways it will feel like the summers of yesterday when things seemed simpler and when time seemed to stand still. Small family gatherings, backyard bbq’s, playing with sparklers at dusk and watching fireworks on tv will be what we do. Despite politics and the racial divide among us, this year more than ever, let’s come together to acknowledge our nation's birthday. It’s in difficult times when we are presented with an opportunity to do better. This time in history has taught all of us to slow down, to stand still in hopes of achieving a better balance in our lives. It presents all of us with the chance to reflect on what truly matters. To live in the moment and be present. To know that we can all do better. Locally, there aren't many places that are as beautiful as June Farms, our cover story on page 30. Take a trip this summer all the way to West Sand Lake. As you drive into the farm you will feel like you are somewhere far away. It is a true destination in our With love & gratitude,
own backyard. The Adirondacks, with their beauty & allure is another place to visit this summer while we all try to stay close to home. Explore several points of interest in our article on page 12.
