We've finally got a little snow to make it feel like it's winter in Central New York. It arrived just in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a whole lot of snow that came in the form of The Blizzard of '66. To commemorate that monster storm, I'm throwing a little party. Here's the details:

Sunday, January 31 from 2 to 5 pm at the Cayuga Community College Fulton campus (where CNY Arts Center is now housed).

I'll be presenting an extended version of the PowerPoint program I've been sharing with groups and organizations in the last few months. Along with new photos and graphics, I'll also be offering some brand new stories that came to me after the book was published. Once I'm done with my program, I'll be opening the floor to people who have blizzard memories of their own to share. To cap off the event, there will be "blizzard desserts" (use your imagination on this) to enjoy along with coffee, tea, hot cocoa.

Tickets are $5.00 per person. Please contact me using the "Contact" link at the top of this page, email me at sjimf903@twcny.rr.com or call at 315 402-6164.

Looking forward to this. And, yes, we do have a "blizzard date" in place: If the weather brings us another big snow on the 31st, we'll hold the event the following Sunday -- same time, same place.
