We invite everyone to stop by our
Pathfinder Produce markets this week; we’re here to help you stock up for your
Thanksgiving celebrations next week. We have such a great array of fresh
and tasty produce, plus a friendly and helpful staff. We hope to see you
this Thursday, November 17 at the Edmeston market at the Village Commons at
Pathfinder, from 1 to 5 p.m., or this Friday, November 18, at the Morris market
at the UMC, 17 Church Street, from 1 to 4 p.m.
Both markets will be CLOSED NEXT WEEK so that
our staff members may celebrate the holiday with their families. We look
forward to seeing you at our December 1st & 2nd
markets.

Although the weather this past weekend was
beautiful, we all know that we’ll soon have the onset of colder weather.
That means many of us who enjoy outdoor pursuits will need to bundle up to go
outside, or add indoor exercise regimens to stay physically and mentally sharp.
If you like to walk or jog outdoors, please remember
that hunting season and the turning back of the clocks both impact
safety. DRESS
TO BE SEEN: If you are walking in rural areas, wear orange safety vests,
hats, and other high visibility gear. If your pets walk with
you, make sure they can be seen too. (Please note the Pathfinder Village
Community Trail is closed during hunting season).
No matter where you walk or jog, if you walk
after dark, wear
clothing that helps motorists identify you. White clothes,
headband flashlights, and special bands of reflective materials help; a jogger
in dark clothing is next to impossible for drivers to see on dark roads.
To help our friends and neighbors stay active,
Pathfinder offers a series of low-cost fitness classes – they’re fun,
affordable, a good way to start a fitness regimen, and keeps you connected with
friends and neighbors. On Monday nights at 6 p.m., Linda Foote offers Hula
Hoop Fitness Dance sessions at the Pathfinder Gym … it’s such a
blast. Classes are $5 per session, hoops are provided; the workout
focuses on using hula hoops to help tone and stretch muscles.
On Wednesday nights at the Gym, starting at 7
p.m., Licensed Instructor Zoe Curtis offers ZUMBA sessions for $5 per
class. ZUMBA combines uplifting beats with a cardio workout, and is a
great way to get fit, especially as you can take it at your own pace. Zoe
offers a lot of encouragement. She always says there’s no mistakes in
ZUMBA … it’s all about movement, and a great way to beat the winter blahs.
Until next time, stay active, eat and be well!
