Now in its fifth year, the Gravel Grinder—organized in partnership with Central New York Cycling Club and the Bassett Cancer Institute—will begin at 11 a.m. and will end when the last rider in either of the two routes returns to the brewery. The Summer Harvest Festival will run from 1-6 p.m.…
The grand opening provided a feel-good ending to what wound up being a feel-good story. In a world where banks are closing with great frequency, especially in more remote areas, BVA reversed this trend and brought a financial institution back to Morris a year and a half after Community Bank NA had pulled out, offering its customers “nearby” banking services 14 miles away in Oneonta.…
The August 5 event will include information about Otsego Outdoors, a collaborative effort of four area environmental organizations—Otsego 2000, Otsego County Conservation Association, Otsego Land Trust and Butternut Valley Alliance.…

“We are pleased to see SFCU take this next step in its commitment to our community,” said Ed Lentz, chair of Butternut Valley Alliance. “It has been a pleasure working with them to ensure continued services in the valley and we have been impressed with their responsiveness to our needs. We look forward to the day when they are able to expand their services here.”…
BVA Chairperson Ed Lentz agreed and added, “We’re very happy to be putting on this event again. It’s a good time, with plenty of attractions for kids as well as young and not-so-young adults, and a good chance to meet with friends, old and new, from throughout the watershed and beyond.”…
