Much of the village is enjoying the warm, calm before the storm after a mostly chilly Sunday.

Without further ado, The Daniel Barden Mudfest on Sat. April 29th.
About the Run (from the website bardenmudfest.org)
"The Mudfest is named after Daniel Barden, who was one of the first graders killed in Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. Daniel will always be remembered for his kind spirit, sense of generosity, and friendship. The niece of the organizers lives next door to Daniel’s family. The goal of the Mudfest is to nurture and grow Daniel’s spirit in all of us."
"The Mohawk Valley community is known for its giving nature, and when the Sandy Hook tragedy occurred, most of us felt helpless and wished there was something we could do in its wake. Now we have the 5th annual Daniel Barden Mudfest..."
