It’s nice when you open your eyes and find yourself standing along the Upper Delaware River.
Jeffersonville, Narrowsburg and Callicoon, small but culturally prominent villages nestled within the foothills of the Catskill mountains. Lava, Lake Huntington, Fosterdale, Hortonville, Hankins, Long Eddy, North Branch, Obernburg, Fremont Center, Callicoon Center and Youngsville. Each place with its own flare and distinguishing character, marked by its streams and the winding roads that run through these ancient valleys. Memory prevails and the beauty enthralls you, listening to the birds and your wakened sense of natural wonder.

When I talk with the old timers, they’ll recount stories about the glory days: baseball games, picnics, tug of war, field days, canoe regattas, even brawls, laughing and smiling all the way through. Our communities work hard to keep these traditions alive. Recently communities have even been inventing new ones. This past fall Jeffersonville, Narrowsburg and Callicoon each celebrated Columbus Day Weekend with a different event. Callicoon had its second annual Art Walk, Jeffersonville had its Oktoberfest Founder’s Day and Narrowsburg celebrated its first Honey Bee Festival. Events are our community’s enduring vision of what we remember growing up with. This is how we share our heritage, and it’s especially important today that these events continue to grow. People can buy and see anything and everything they want through the internet. But what they can’t find are these kinds of rich experiences, that build lasting memories and human bonds that make life worth living.

It’s difficult to participate in every event. Each village has multiple organizations and businesses, and various causes, each with their own exciting events. It seems that just as I’m invited to one event, I check my calendar and realize I’m already attending another. Or even two! How does one make the time? And how do we manage all the events we want to experience?
It seemed important to get all of the people who create these events into the same room and find a way to consolidate our efforts yet still retain our individual villages’ unique character. Different events that complement each other. We all agreed it would be helpful to have a calendar that would help the entire region organize events.
