Welcome to Saratoga!

...and to Welcome Home, your (Award-Winning!) go-to-guide for Life in the Saratoga Region!

In an ideal world, everything in this guide would be accurate…

The events would be happening, the restaurants would be filled with people and the streets would be bustling with shoppers. Unfortunately, life as we know it, is not the same since Social Distancing became the norm.

But… Some day life will be back to normal and you will be happy you had all this free time to peruse the pages and look up new restaurants to try, museums to go to, quaint little towns to check out and organizations that need your help.

Saratoga is (and will always be!) an awesome place to live and we would like to help you around…

Saratoga TODAY has put together everything you need to know in this one handy informative community guide… after all, providing local news is what we do best!

If this is your first time looking through Welcome Home, please note that the entire magazine is color-coded, making it quick and easy to navigate your way through the pages.

• Would you like the phone number to your local town clerk?

Browse the TOWNS OF SARATOGA COUNTY section.

• Need day care for your newly rescued dog?

We have a PET SECTION. • Interested in finding out about the school district in your area?

No problem turn to the PUBLIC SCHOOLS section.

• Is mom or dad getting older and you are looking for resources in the area?

Flip to the SENIOR CARE section.

• New to the area and looking for running clubs, yoga studios or healthy places to shop?

Check out the HEALTHY SARATOGA section.

• Looking for a new take out option?

Check out our LOCAL DINING GUIDE But before you dig into the details, I recommend that you spend some time on page 10 and see what others say about us!

Then… browse the book, mark your favorite pages, and enjoy life in our little corner of the world.

We hope you enjoy this issue and I must close with a thank you to our advertisers. Without them, we would not be able to provide these beautiful (and informative!) publications - free of charge to our tens of thousands of readers.

Please mention us by name when visiting them… Saratoga TODAY’s Welcome Home Magazine. If you have an idea for a category not listed in our guide, let me know and we will include it in the 2021 edition of Welcome Home.

Enjoy life in the Saratoga Region!

Chris

Tucked in the southwest corner of Saratoga County and easily accessible from I-87 and I-90, you’ll be charmed by Charlton’s rural character, historic hamlets, and scenic landscapes. Boasting agriculture as its main industry, a drive or bike tour through Charlton’s rolling hills reveals dairy and horse farms, orchards and farm stands just around the bend. Glimpses of the past abound: in the Historical Society’s museum and one-room schoolhouse, the general store, and lively Tavern—its former building serving as a stagecoach stop in 1787. Known for its hardy settlers and once-prolific grist mills along the Alplaus Creek, Charlton’s friendly community welcomes visitors to explore its proud heritage.

The Town of Greenfield is located minutes north of Saratoga Springs and is the Capital Region’s best kept secret. With a population of 7,400 spread out over 41,000 forest and stream covered acres, residents have plenty of room to breathe. It’s a peaceful place where families hold tight to small town pride and still live on roads named after their ancestors. Greenfield is content being the quiet neighbor with the stone wall in front and the vegetable garden out back. It’s a wonderful place to relax, raise a family and walk the dog. Country living in the 21st century.

The charming Village of Round Lake is profoundly tied to its rich cultural past, and still boasts the “campground” feel with its small, close lots. Residences and other structures are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the Round Lake Auditorium, with narrow streets and pedestrian walkways. This creates a hub and spoke pattern – and the secret to “village life” – you know your neighbors!

Shows and events highlighting art, crafts and antiques are regularly held on Village grounds and organ and musical concerts are still given in the Round Lake Auditorium.

The Round Lake Library, though small, continues operation and maintains many books pertaining to Victoriana and Victorian architecture, being particularly useful to those seeking restoration information.

School information on page 88.

Centrally located between Saratoga Springs and Clifton Park along the Hudson River, this beautiful and historic community is known as “The Site of the Turning Point of the American Revolution.” The Battle of Freeman’s Farm and the Battle of Bemis Heights were fought here in 1777, paved the way for freedom and set the stage for settlement of this community along the banks of the mighty and noble Hudson River.

Easily accessed from Exits 15 or 16, close to everything . . . yet a destination on its own! Wilton has a lot to offer with its shopping areas, good schools, proximity to Saratoga Springs and its commitment to children, recreation and the various ongoing “quality of life” projects in process. It truly is a great place to live.

SARATOGA Farmers' Market CHECK WEBSITES FOR CURRENT UPDATES

Photos by Pattie Garrett

The Saratoga Springs Farmers’ Market is a great year-round place to find fresh fruits, vegetables, homemade baked goods, local meat and dairy products and so much more.

The market started in 1978 as a small group of vendors in a parking lot and has since grown to more than 80 vendors. The Saratoga Farmers’ market has won numerous awards, including #1 Must Visit Farmers’ Market in New York State

by I Love NY. Supporting local business is very important to the communities in Saratoga County, something that is especially true of the local farmers’ market. All of the vendors and their products must be produced locally (from within Saratoga, Schenectady, Washington and Rensselaer counties). As is stated on the market’s website, this means that when you shop at the market, you are buying unique products and supporting our community and our economy. The only exception to the “only local” rule is fresh Long Island-caught fish.

From May to October, the farmers’ market is outdoors on High Rock Ave. in downtown Saratoga Springs. Shop outdoors and under the High Rock Pavilion two days a week: on Wednesday from 3-6 p.m. and then Saturday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. You’ll find an incredible assortment of fruits, vegetables, herbs, locally-made cheese, jams, sauces, crafts, baked goods, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products in addition to local plants for your garden.

There’s nothing better than fresh local veggies in the winter–here-in Saratoga Springs, you can taste that freshness all year-long! From November to April, the farmers’ market moves indoors in the Wilton Mall The market is open each Saturday from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm.

The winter market is famous for its variety. You’ll find naturally-grown winter veggies (including salad greens and tomatoes), meat, fish, cheese, yogurt, milk, honey, jam, pickles, organic soaps and much, much more! Plus, vendors offer ready-made foods so you can enjoy a breakfast sandwich or variety of lunch options, and even grab-and-go snacks like donuts and croissants while you shop.

There’s much more to the Saratoga Springs Farmers’ Market experience than grocery shopping. This lively market is also a perfect place to meet friends, connect with your community and enjoy entertainment and family-friendly events. From chef demonstrations to live music, there’s always something fun happening at the market. Stop by and check it out! For more information, visit SaratogaFarmersMarket.org. Plus, check out Saratoga TODAY’s food page each week for recipes straight from the farmers’ market.

Greenfield Elementary School (518) 428-2267 • www.greenfieldny.org

GREENFIELD SUMMER CAMP OFFERS AFFORDABLE, ENRICHING MORNING SUMMER FUN GREENFIELD, NY – For more than 25 years, the Town of Greenfield has offered families a traditional summer camp experience reminiscent of the kind you remember as a child: one with lots of open space, room to play with peers and chock full of good, old fashioned summer camp fun.

The camp runs for five weeks, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon, and will provide children with summer memories and fresh air that is sure to make them sleep well at night. More than 200 children attended camp last year.

Camp takes place at the beautiful Greenfield Elementary School, which is located just five miles north of Saratoga Springs in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Camp features an 8:1 camper/counselor ratio with more than 30 exuberant teenage camp counselors, most of whom live in Greenfield and once attended camp themselves. All counselors are American Red Cross certified.

Students ages 5 through 14 are welcome and are grouped by age.

Campers are provided with plenty of organized and free play on the popular Greenfield Elementary playground and beautiful rural property. Daily activities take place both in and outside the Greenfield Elementary School. Children enjoy daily art projects and organized gym time with dodge ball, parachute play, limbo, Tae Kwon Do and more. Camp also features themed events like “Super Hero Day” and “Hat Day,” as well as magicians and other special guests.

“Every kid dreams of summer camp,” said Rebecca Sewell, Town of Greenfield Recreation Director. “We pack as much fun as we can into a five-week program to offer our kids the chance to enjoy summer days with community friends without costing as much as a family vacation.”

The Town of Greenfield is home to 8,000 residents and spans more than 41,000 acres of land, including Brookhaven Golf Course in Porter Corners.

The Summer Recreation Camp is just one of many programs and events held throughout the year.

DATES: June 29 - July 31, 2020 TIMES: 9 a.m. to Noon, Monday - Friday (except for extended field trips) LOCATION: Greenfield Elementary School, 3180 Rte. 9N, Greenfield Center TRANSPORTATION: There will be transportation provided for field trips only.

EASY DROP OFF! TO REGISTER: Registration begins March 2 for Greenfield residents and

April 1 for everyone else. It will end on May 31 or at capacity. Camp forms and fees can be found at www.greenfieldny.org or by calling 518-893-7432 x307. Town of Greenfield residents receive a discount, but camp is open to all surrounding communities.

Optional field trips are also part of the fun, often taking children to such places as area museums, the Saratoga County Fair, movie theaters, bowling alleys, baseball games and more.

This story originally apeared in Simply Saratoga Home & Garden 2019

“Beautiful view.”

That is the name the owners chose for their modern 2,500 square-foot of main living level home overlooking Loughberry Lake, a small tranquil body of water on the outskirts of downtown Saratoga Springs.

The owners moved into their new home last summer, after several years of planning and construction, working with Brett Balzer of Balzer & Tuck Architecture and Bonacio Construction.

Brett claims that he would love to have more clients like this couple. “They were so involved in every detail of the home, which the owner refers to as “woodsy contemporary.” The result is a clean, open space with perfectly proportioned geometric symmetry and long vertical and horizontal lines traveling the length, width and height of the structure.

High ceilings add to the expansiveness of the space and the long lines of the exposed beams are mimicked in the lines of the dining room table and hardwood floors.

Sitting on approximately two-thirds of an acre, the configuration of the lot was very important to the design of the home. The cedar and glass exterior suits its environment perfectly, with large Anderson E Series windows that allow the natural beauty of the outdoors into their home.

While the lot size is not large and Bella Via is flanked on either side by homes, they are not seen from any of the windows, allowing for maximum privacy and maximum exposure to the outside at the same time.

Every detail of the home was meticulously planned and the owners hand-selected most all materials and fixtures, including wood, the onyx, marble and soapstone counters throughout the house, as well as the terra cotta leather sofas and the copper framed fireplaces.

In the front of the house is the husband's office, which has floorto-ceiling windows overlooking the lake and soundproof walls. Pocket doors afford privacy when needed.

On the wall across from the desk is a collection of guitars and vinyl record albums.

Situated off the living and dining areas is an enclosed sun porch with stained concrete floors, a large fireplace and an equally large gas grill surrounded by a soapstone counter. This is a perfect room to sit by a cozy fire and enjoy the natural view on either end of the room.

The home’s cabinetry is all custom-designed and built, allowing the owners to achieve their dream of “de-cluttering.”

Everything has a place. In the master suite, there is plenty of storage for personal items and accessories. In the master bath, the contemporary dressing table includes long rectangular recessed lighting on three sides, mimicking the old makeup mirrors that were popular in the 70s and 80s. The result is an area with perfect lighting while readying for any event, daytime or evening.

The kitchen design is perfectly suited to preparing meals, whether it is for a quiet dinner for two or prepping for an evening of entertaining family or friends. The couple enjoys cooking together and chose the appliances to accommodate their culinary endeavors. The over-sized Whirlpool refrigerator is commercial-size and two Miele ovens adjacent include one speed oven and a regular convection oven.

The large counter top is a creamy white marble they found in a Vermont quarry, the same quarry that supplies marble for the tombstones at Arlington Cemetery.

Here, as in all other rooms, the custom cabinetry keeps the countertops free of clutter. The huge kitchen cabinet that takes up most of one wall, dubbed the “appliance garage.” Inside are food processors, coffee makers, blenders, everything needed to prepare meals.

Located just off the kitchen area is a small, cozy nook with a table for two. The couple takes many of their meals there, which is decorated with stitched wallpaper and angled recessed lighting.

Directly behind the kitchen is the wife’s office, with ample space for doing the crafting and scrap-booking that she loves.

While they refer to their house as single floor living, the lower level of the home has two guest bedrooms and bath, and a state-of-the-art fitness room with an extra deep endless pool that has a treadmill in it.

The three-car garage has Texture 111 exposed plywood, rather than using drywall, which is perfect for hanging gardening tools and other outdoor equipment. The garage doors are paned with milky opaque glass that allows lighting in, while maintaining privacy from neighbors.

The couple says that, while the 22 months of building seemed to last forever, now that they are in their new home, in retrospect it doesn’t seem that long. They actually miss the process now that it's over. “We challenged each other and had good dialogue,” says Brett. “I like it when we can work with people who help you realize your dream,” agrees the happy owners.
