We hope everyone will join us for the next Pathfinder
Produce Market on Thursday, May 29, starting at 2 p.m. The great tastes
of summer produce are here!
*********
This week all of us at Pathfinder Village are preparing for
our first ever Splash Path 5K and Fun Walk, which takes place on Saturday, May
31. We’re very excited at the positive reception we’ve received from our
regional friends, businesses and organizations. We have over 400
participants registered to take part and nearly 50 sponsors! That’s very
good news indeed!
Registration will get underway on Saturday at 8:00 a.m. in
the Pathfinder Gym; parking will be along the west side of the Village.
Parking attendants will be available to help direct people, and we extend
our thanks to our Edmeston Fire Department and Emergency Squad Members, and
other community volunteers who will be here helping behind the scenes.
The Splash Path route will take runners/walkers from the School, along
Pathfinder Village Road, along NYS Route 80 and onto Robinson Road. There
will be mile markers, a self-serve water station and turn-around point on
Robinson Road. Runners/walkers will return to Pathfinder Village and
follow the red arrows through the Village and finish at the Pathfinder
Pavilion. We will have several photographers here and will post images on
our Facebook page. We will also have a photo backdrop available at the
Pavilion so people may take their own pictures at the end of the event.

The Splash Path 5K and Fun Walk is part of our local efforts
in conjunction with the Bassett Research Institute’s 5-2-1-0 Every Day! Program
to promote better nutrition and fitness activities in the Edmeston and Delhi
areas. Specifically, the Splash Path will help raise funds so that
Pathfinder Village may build a new Community Walking Trail, a new public
offering on Village property that will provide an interesting and challenging
place for runners, walkers, snowshoers, and cross country skiers to enjoy to
pursue fitness activities. The trail will be maintained by Village
volunteers and construction should begin in the fall.
The Splash Path route will also travel near the site of the
proposed Dr. William F. Streck Community Health Clinic, just off NYS Route 80
and Pathfinder Village Road (north of Grant’s Field, our community soccer
pitch). This new $1.2 million facility will replace Bassett
Healthcare Network’s current Edmeston-Burlington Health Center (also located on Village property), and will honor the
life’s work of Dr. Streck, who will be retiring as Bassett’s chief
administrator in July. (Dr. Streck will continue on as the Chair of the
Pathfinder Village Board of Directors, a role he has filled since 1995).
We’ll share more on this important new initiative soon!
We hope to see you this Thursday at Pathfinder Produce, and
this Saturday at our first-ever Splash Path! Until then, be well!
