Clarkstown Has Lots to Offer this Summer by Supervisor George Hoehmann

Summer is in full swing in Clarkstown. We pride ourselves in offering a wide variety of quality programs and events that are great for residents of all ages and family friendly. From concerts, to camps, to special events, pools, and more, we offer it all.

First, let’s cover the ways we can all stay cool this summer. I’m talking about the three pools that Clarkstown residents can enjoy. Residents can register for a seasonal pool pass or pay by the day to enjoy three state of the art pools. Congers Pool is the smallest of the three and is located at Congers Lake Memorial Park. Before or after you take a dip in the pool, you can also enjoy the walkway around Congers Lake and various athletic activities, such as our basketball and tennis courts.

Germonds Pool is located in West Nyack and contains a main pool, diving pool, and kiddie pool with zero entry and sprinklers. Germonds Park also houses a mini golf course, baseball fields, playgrounds, basketball courts and a shaded picnic area.

Our largest pool is Lake Nanuet, which is a quiet setting with many amenities. Please check out the www.clarkstown.org for more details about pool hours and passes.

We are also continuing the tradition of our summer concert series. This year’s Family Music Festival will feature a wide variety of family concert artists and groups. These concerts are a great opportunity for families to reconnect with each other and link generations to each other through music.

August 6th—Germonds Park—7:30pm— The Nerds are coming back! Enjoy an evening of laughs and the seriously fun musicianship of this very popular, Jersey Shore-based band.

August 14th—Germonds Park—7:30pm— The Cameos will bring you back by playing the oldies.

I do hope you bring out your family or your friends and take some time to enjoy one or more of these great concerts! Check https://town.clarkstown.ny.us/ for more details. Go to the Town website and Facebook page for more details and to learn about other future events.

A day to honor beloved pets while remembering the animals still waiting for homes like “Cookie”. Would someone please adopt her!

Pets have a special way of becoming part of the family. They greet us at the door, offer comfort on difficult days, bring joy through simple moments and remind us of the importance of kindness and companionship.

Today, on All American Pet Day, pet owners across the country are celebrating the dogs, cats and other animals that have become cherished members of their households. The observance is also an opportunity to recognize the countless animals in shelters that are still waiting for a place to call home.

Every year, shelters and rescue organizations care for animals in need of safety, medical attention and a second chance. Many of these pets are loving, loyal companions who simply have not yet found the right family. Some have been overlooked because of their age, size, breed, or because they may need extra patience and understanding after difficult experiences.

Shelter workers and volunteers often say that one of the most rewarding moments is watching an animal who has spent months or even years waiting finally walk out the door with a new family.

Adopting a pet is a commitment, but for those who are ready, it can be life-changing for both the animal and the adopter. Many shelters also offer opportunities to foster, volunteer, donate supplies or simply share information about animals looking for homes.

For those who already have pets, All American Pet Day is a reminder to celebrate the bond they share. A walk around the neighborhood, extra playtime, a favorite treat or a visit to the veterinarian are all ways to show appreciation for the animals who give so much unconditional love.

And for those considering adding a pet to their family, local shelters are filled with animals waiting for someone to see their potential.

Whether they have been with us for years or are still waiting behind a kennel door, every pet deserves compassion, care and a chance to be loved.
