Visit Skaneateles Today A perfect autumn getaway Autumn is the perfect time for a day trip or a weekend away. The crowds, heat and humidity of the summer have passed, leaving only fresh breezes and brilliant foliage. In Upstate New York, there is no more picturesque venue for an autumn visit than the village of Skaneateles.

Skaneateles offers a wide variety of culinary treats, from casual lakeside hangouts to the world-renowned Mirbeau Inn & Spa, located on Route 20 at the western edge of the village. Mirbeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gardens, inspired by French impressionists, provide the backdrop for one of the most romantic and relaxing settings in Central New York. Visitors to the French Steakhouse at Mirbeau will leave knowing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed a meal prepared and served by a world-class staff that truly thinks of everything.

Upcoming events include the New York State Wine & Culinary Festival, Sept. 23 to 25. The festival is the first in New York to showcase fine wines from the three main wine growing regions: the Hudson Valley, Long Island, and the Finger Lakes. The event also offers interactive workshops, a local farmers market and artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibit, tasting tents, delicious food, and live music for wine enthusiasts.

The weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festivities begin on Friday, Sept. 23, with the kick-off See Skaneateles on page 7

Wine Pairing Dinner sponsored by Dr. Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the French Steakhouse at Mirbeau. On Saturday, Sept. 24, the festival will begin at noon with events including winery tours of Anyelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vineyards, wine seminars, wine tasting, local farmers and artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s displays, spa treatments, food tents, and live music. The festival wraps up on Sunday, Sept. 25, with a fabulous champagne brunch in the dining room at Mirbeau.

Windshield tourists visiting Skaneateles will enjoy a slow drive through the village and down West Lake Road, taking in the variety of landscaping and architecture that give the stately homes their charm. The structures range from simple salt boxes to ornate Greek Revival and Italianate mansions, and most are cared for impeccably.

A truly unique way to view the architecture and charm of the village is aboard one of the historic boats operated by Mid Lakes Navigation, which offers cruises of the lake through Oct. 1. Choices range from 50-minute sightseeing cruises, to dinner and champagne cruises to trips around the lake on an operating U.S. Mailboat. Visit midlakesnav. com for an up-to-date cruise schedule through the end of the season.

As the holidays approach, the quaint business district will be transformed into a scene from â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Christmas Carol,â&#x20AC;? as Charles Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; famous yuletide novel comes to life on the streets of Skaneateles. Holiday shoppers will be greeted by the familiar faces of Scrooge, Tiny Tim and many others as they peruse the boutiques and galleries along Genesee and Jordan streets.

Fall foliage enthusiasts will enjoy a brisk afternoon walk in Bear Swamp State Forest, located of Route 41A at the south end of Skaneateles Lake, about 16 miles south of the village. A variety of hiking trails lead through dense pines and hardwood forest, and portions of the trails offer glimpses of the lake. Once the snow begins to fly, Bear Swamp is one of Central New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier cross country skiing destinations.

fall in CNY lafayette adventures When I think of fall, I think of apples The chill of fall seems to have come quickly this year. As I stood with my husJennifer band and other parents at my son’s football practice, we commented on the brisk air and early sunset.

“We should start planning our trip to Momsense Lafayette,” I said to my husband.

“Isn’t it a little early?” Eric said. “We have plenty of time.”

I, having planned many an outing to pluck the succulent fruit from orchards to the south of Syracuse, know that many of the popular varieties of apple are picked early – my favorite, Cortland, picks in mid-September. One variety – the Honeycrisp – is usual only available for picking a couple of days out of the fall.

After informing him of this, Eric said, “This year, I want to pick Red Delicious apples.” This is actually a bone of contention between us, as I think the RD apples are, by far, low on the musthave spectrum. In my opinion, they look pretty, all shiny and bright, with that wonderful, rich red color, but don’t have the taste to back up their showiness. There’s no tartness to them, and they are a bit dry in texture.

The Red Delicious actually pick a bit later in the season, according to the Internet, so we’re ok there.

But what of my other varieties? The juicier, sweet-tart apples such as Jona Mac,

Wing

Granny Smith and MacIntosh? My daughter came up with an easy solution.

“We’ll have to go twice this year,” she said. I wasn’t surprised to hear this suggestion from Cassidy, since both she and my soon-tobe-eight-year-old son Jacob have been happily visiting the orchards to the south of us since birth. With much to offer besides the obvious enjoyment of riding or walking out to the trees to do some picking, the apple farms have always catered to children.

With everything from pony rides to apple milkshakes, bouncy houses to pens full of animals to visit, the orchards know how to keep the kids entertained and happy, something that is helpful for parents trying to enjoy autumn while keeping their sanity.

Making the kids lunch later that night, I grabbed an apple I had bought at the grocery store and inspected it prior to putting it in the lunchbox. It was small, a bit bruised and, well, sad. When we go to pick apples I will definitely make sure to get a whole bunch just to put in their lunches. I found it’s easy to store them out in the garage during the cooler months of autumn; they keep quite well and are out of the way.

Then there are the other uses for the apples: apple pie, apple crisp and apple sauce. I’m thinking this year we might

fall in CNY northern adventures Sportsmen’s Dinner in Cicero Award-winning outdoor writer Charles Alsheimer to speak

By Jennifer Wing

Author and speaker Charles Alsheimer will be featured at the annual Sportsmen’s Dinner 2011 held on Tuesday Oct. 4 at Driver’s Village Conference Center in Cicero. Dinner is at 6 p.m., and doors open at 4 p.m.

Tickets are $14 per person and include dinner.

Alsheimer is an award-winning outdoor writer, nature photographer, lecturer and consultant from Bath, NY. His specialty – both as a writer and photographer – is the white-tailed deer.

He is the northern field editor for Deer and Deer Hunting magazine and host of their national television show, Deer and Deer Hunting TV, which airs on the Outdoor Channel. He is also the contributing editor for Whitetail News.

In the past 25 years, Alsheimer’s work has taken him across North America. His photography has won numerous state and national contests, and his articles and photographs have appeared in nearly every major outdoor publication, including Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, Sports Afield, Deer and Deer Hunting, and Harris Publications. In addition, he has written five popular books on the whitetail and has co-authored a sixth. Alsheimer also owns and operates a white-tailed deer research facility and provides consulting services to various segments of the whitetail industry.

In a national poll conducted in January 2000 by Deer and Deer Hunting, Alsheimer was honored as one of deer hunting’s top See White-tailed deer on page 15

fall in CNY northern adventures White-tailed deer five inspirational leaders of the past century.

Alsheimer called the Central New York area “a mecca for white tail deer. In North America in general the white-tailed deer are most prolific and abundant, but this area is a hot spot.”

Alsheimer said the Driver’s Village Conference Center is a “very great venue – the best around. First of all, it is a gorgeous place, two, it is so professionally done and three, the meal that is served is fabulous. It’s as good as it gets.”

“When you start talking about having a sportsman’s banquet, it is the event everyone is talking about,” he said. “[Owners] The Burdick family is well-known around the state and always do things first class.”

from page 14

Alsheimer will speak about white-tailed deer behavior through the seasons, based upon his newest book, “White Tailed Deer, A Photographic Journey Through the Seasons.” He will also be sharing his white-tailed deer “lunar rut research” which has to do with the breeding season of the deer.

Alsheimer said the Sportsmen’s Dinner usually sells out quickly, as the sport of hunting is a popular one in the area.

“From a sports standpoint, white-tailed deer drive the industry in New York state,” Alsheimer said. “You’ve got roughly 650,000 big game hunters in New York state that hunt white-tailed deer. “The deer season in New York state is primarly October through December,”

he said. “In the Adirondack region it is more of an autumn event than in the southern zone.”

Those in attendance are invited to bring their wall mounts for display and Alsheimer will also be doing a book signing at the event.

Dinner is at 6 p.m., and doors open at 4 p.m. Tickets are $14 per person and include dinner, vendors, door prizes and Alsheimer’s presentation. Seats are limited so purchase tickets early by calling 458-0271. For more information about the event go to sportsmen. nsbconline.org.

Alsheimer lives with his wife on their farm in rural upstate New York. Additional information about him and his work can be found at his website, CharlesAlsheimer.com.

If you’ve come to Skaneateles ill-prepared for the late autumn breezes off the lake, visit Roland’s, located at 14 E. Genesee St., where they’ll help you bundle up in some new North Face outwear or outfit you with a fleece or sweatshirt to commemorate your trip.

Famed statesman William Henry Seward called Skaneateles Lake, “The most beautiful body of water in the world,” but if your photographic skills fail to capture the picturesque scenes this village and lake offer, be sure to stop at John Francis McCarthy’s Fingerlakes Photography, located at 9 Jordan St. in the village. There you’ll find original photographs and picture books that will help you recall your trip to one of New York’s hidden treasures.

As you leave the village on Route 321, don’t forget to visit the Heart ‘N Hand Bakery for something to tickle your taste buds on the drive home. This quaint country store offers a variety of homemade baked goods, and specialty jams and sauces. You may intend to purchase these items as a gift, but after taking a bite, you’ll be reluctant to give any away.

For more information, including maps and a calendar of upcoming events, visit the Skaneateles Chamber of Commerce website at skaneateles.com.

The Gingham Patch: A barn full of treasures

19

What could be more delightful than a country drive and visiting a 100-plus year old Saltbox Barn filled with antiques, primitives, handcrafted items, reproduction gifts and so many needs for your country home. Ten years ago, this barn was in such disrepair that many thought it should be torn down, but Jennifer Scharman’s vision, and a lot of hard work, brought The Gingham Patch to life.

The inside of the barn has been restored to include living quarters with a fieldstone wall that has a gas burning fireplace. The upstairs of the barn is Jennifer’s basket studio, where she creates her own original baskets, teaches basket weaving and chair caning. The Gingham Patch became an outlet for her to share her love of antiques and her artistic flair at basketweaving.

Jennifer has been weaving baskets since 1980, 31 years in all.

Since The Gingham Patch opened for business in October of 2003, inventory has expanded to include homespun fabric, lampshades, pottery, florals, cards, lighting, curtains, pewter, soaps, candles, jewelry, signs, Olde Century Colors paint and much more. They are also proud to carry the handiwork of many local artists. With the help from long time friend Laurie Kane, together they have created a haven for antique and primitive lovers alike.

The Gingham Patch is located at 3490 Pratts Road, Bouckville, NY 13310, just north of Route 20 (take route 46 north off route 20, then take the first left turn on to Pratts Road, the shop is the first place on the right). The shop is open year round, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 4 p.m. with extended hours in December.

fall in CNY adirondack adventures Take a scenic drive Come to the High Peaks Region and visit the Olympic training venues

This trip will take you through an historic resort city with a lively social scene and on a high peaks journey that is startling in its beauty.

On your trip on the Northway (I-87), stop at Saratoga Springs (Exit 13N) and drive north on Route 9. Enter the Saratoga Spa State Park through the lovely, tree-lined Avenue of the Pines. In the park are the mineral baths and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, summer home of the New York City Ballet, New York City Opera, the Philadelphia Orchestra and pop specials. Exit the park, turning right, on Route 50. Drive northeast to Union Avenue, and visit the Saratoga Race Course, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest thoroughbred track, where sports lovers gather each summer from around the world to watch thoroughbreds race. (Racing season is late July through early September.)

Exit Saratoga Springs via Union Avenue to I-87 north. Take Exit 28 and Route 74 east to Fort Ticonderoga. This area is steeped in Revolutionary War history, with its fife and drum parades and canon and mortar drills.

The rugged beauty of the Ausable River is typical of the Adirondacks.

Follow Route 9N north to Crown Point, then on to Route 73 and into the Adirondacks.

Throughout you will find turn-offs for wilderness hiking and fine accommodations for every See Drive on page 21
