HALL OF FAME INDUCTION 2016

Anticipation Builds

As Crowd Filters In

The crowd isn't what it's going to be (Cooperstown Mayor Katz predicts 40,000-50,000 visitors) but excitement is starting to build on Main Street as Induction Weekend 2016 gets underway. Top, photo, 19th District Congressional hopeful Zephyr Teachout arrived at Pioneer Park a few minutes ago and greets, from left, MLB Official Historian John Thorn of Catskill, Mayor Katz and Village Trustee Jim Dean; she's attending this evening's county Democratic Dinner at Village Trustee Richard Sternberg's home, where state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is keynoter. At right, proprietor May Laio of All About The Girls By May poses with Alex Johnson, all dolled up to slow customers passing by 147 Main. Center left, the Breck Girls (Kristen and Kathryn Busse) are together again, selling cool Italian ices in front of the Silver Fox at 139 Main. Lower right, the village had closed off Main Street by noon today, and put on-street parking off limits on Lake and River streets and the Doubleday lot. (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
