Hamilton, NY looked like it took a turn for the worse recently,

even though it was really experiencing some exciting events.

The indie film "Pottersville" is being filmed there this month, and a huge number of locals turned out to audition and be filmed as extras.

"Pottersville" is about a small town that is having it's hard luck turned around by a sasquatch sighting and the interest that follows. It is being directed by Seth Henrikson; produced by Ron Perlman's Wing and a Prayer Pictures with Scott Lochmus, Perlman, Josh Crook, and Jonathan Gray;

and Michael Shannon has been rumored to be on set.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is always celebrated on

the 3rd Monday in January, close to King's birthday, January 15, 1929

Note: The Schools, Post Office, Library & other Businesses will be Closed in Honor

"During the less than 13 years of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s leadership of the modern American Civil Rights Movement, from December, 1955 until April 4, 1968, African Americans achieved more genuine progress toward racial equality in America than the previous 350 years had produced. Dr. King is widely regarded as America’s pre-eminent advocate of nonviolence and one of the greatest nonviolent leaders in world history."
