Things to do before summer ends
Eagle Newspapers’ guide for the season
July 15, 2009
a big bucket of buttery popcorn.
By Jennifer Wing jwing@cnylink.com It’s hard to believe that we’re approaching the middle of July already, and in less than two months the kids will be back in school, thoughts will be turning to fall and the summer # will be all but wrapped up. Ever wonder what you did over the summer? Looking back, does it all seem like a blur? Here are some suggestions for taking advantage of the warmer weather and many summer activities offered in Central New York:
9.See a concert
H
Step back into time and surround yourself with history by browsing a potpourri of objet d’art. Why not visitThe Heckled Hen,in Manlius which features eclectic collectibles and collector quality jewelry? Or how about stopping byThe Colonial Housfitter in Jamesville,specializing in primitive antiques and qualityAmerican made reproductions?
2.Take a wine tour
Do you associate the word“bouquet” with stomped grapes rather than fresh blooms?Then a visit to CNY’s wine country,aka the Finger Lakes region,is in order. Absorb the tastes and textures of the finest wines Central NewYork has to offer while drinking in the beautiful scenery.
3. Learn to cook
Embrace your inner gourmet and hone your skills in the kitchen.

Maybe a tour of the water is the perfect way to spend the day.Mid-Lakes Navigation even offers dinner crusises.Visit midlakesnav.com or call 685-8500 for information.

Summer specials at Foxfire Golf Course
Head Golf Pro Chris Lawson is shown here with one of the new golf carts purchased by owner Jim Noble this season.

Call Lawson at 638-2930 for a tee time. Foxfire is located at One Village Blvd. (Village Green) in Baldwinsville.
24.Play mini-golf
If #23 doesn’t suit your needs,or if you just like the hilarity that can ensue when a group of friends and family try to hit the ball through a churning windmill,then mini-golf could be just the ticket.So for so good-old-fashioned fun,visit one of many course such as Putters Paradise,3201 Erie Blvd.East,DeWitt, 446-3960.
25.Roast marshmallows
With the current trend of backyard fire pits, you no longer need to be at the beach or a campground to have a great bonfire, although those venues certainly add to the roasting experience.
26.Visit a senior center
Take time out to meet like-minded men and women – take a trip, learn a hobby or get your competitive juices flowing while playing cards and other games.
28. Go to the Great NewYork State Fair
With rides, food, concerts, exhibits and vendors, the Fair has it all! For many, this is an end-of-the-summer tradition that can’t be beat. Set for Aug. 27 through Sept. 7 at the fairgrounds, 581 State Fair Blvd. Syracuse.
29. Go for a run
An early-morning jaunt through the neighborhood or stress-relieving sprint after work may be just the thing you need to get the heart pumping and clear the cobwebs out of the mind.
30. Have a garage sale
Get rid of your clutter while meeting your neighbors and making some mad money.
31. Clean out the basement
Are you a closet hoarder? Break free from the piles of stuff you don’t need but is too good to throw out by organizing and, perhaps, moving it to a facility such as Sandy Creek Storage (see page 4.)
32. Make cookies
There are plenty of fresh ingredients available out there, including berries in season, so take advantage of family gatherings to show off your culinary skills.
33.Visit the zoo
With both indoor and outdoor animal exhibits, the Rosamond Gifford Zoo is a well-rounded, family-friendly experience.The zoo also has new residents, –a herd of guanacos, similar to llamas, and twin red pandas born June 13.Visit rosamondfiggordzoo.org for hours and information.
34. Ride the swings at a park
38. Go out for ice cream
We all scream for this favorite summer treat. Make time to sample soft serve or hard scoops, on the cone or in the dish.
39. Spend time with your friends
9 Jordan Street
40.Take a drive in the country
Pre Order New Book
Hang out at a local tavern on the lake; play volleyball at the beach, or play a game of pitch at the kitchen table or on the back deck. Take the road less traveled – sometimes the best trips are the ones that aren’t planned.
41. Have a cook out
Get family and friends together for hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. Don’t have a grill? No problem! Ra-Lin has a sale on Weber grills – see page 3 for details.
42. Go to the MOST
With fun hands-on exhibits for the kids, a planetarium that is fun and educational and the wonder of IMAX, the Museum of Science and Technology is a great spot for a rainy day visit.
43. Ride a bike
Ride for a cause – such as the Rescue Mission’s “Ride for the Rescue,” held Sunday July 19 at Syracuse’s Inner Harbor – for exercise, or just for fun.
44.Take a walk along the Erie Canal
It’s amazing to realize that this waterway once was a bustling highway for commerce.
45. Go for a swim
In a pool or in a lake. Find a swimmin’ hole that suits your needs, and don’t forget the sunscreen!
46. Kiss your spouse
Make sure, though your schedule may be hectic, to take time to slow it down and really connect.
47. Slurp a slushie
Or try making your own smoothie, using yogurt and fresh fruit – yummy and so good for you!
48. Go to Sylvan Beach
Ride the coaster, listen to a band, climb aboard a boat or hang out by the shore.Whatever your choice, you can’t go wrong. Another reason to go to Sylvan Beach? Free tickets! See page 3 for more details.
49. Call your mom
How high can you go? Find out at one of the many local parks.
…or dad. If they’re far away, chat about nothing in particular. If they’re near, make plans to do a summer activity together.
35. Go to a baseball game
50. Play Water Wars
What is more American than nine innings at Alliance Bank Stadium? Peanuts, beer, the crack of the bat and cheers of the crowd – it doesn’t get much better. For a complete schedule and ticket information visit syracusechiefs.com. See ad on page 4.
36. Hang a birdhouse
Many local hardware and craft stores have kits to makeyour-own, or buy a pre-fabricated birdhouse and hang it in your yard for years of entertainment by local fowl.
