New comment posted

Under "Rested up and ready" you'll find a new comment published October 28 (2008).

In other news the Village Center Committee is working on a plan to move forward in applying for Main Street Grant money. This grant program is for Main Street business areas.

In the Village of Jordan we're talking about what is referred to as the Village Center. This is from Bush Funeral Home (North Main Street) to and including Wheeler's Farm Home Store (formerly Agway on South Main Street), then from the Bennett Building on Clinton Street to the Jordan Bramley Library on Mechanic Street.

We'll have more to update everyone on within a few weeks. Commercial property owners within this area will be contacted within the next month or so to see if they are interested in participating in this application. This program is a 50%/50% matching program.

Stay tuned for more...............................

Frost on the pumpkin...

Fall is definitely here. Be sure to check out the Upcoming page on www.JordanNY.com for the many church dinners in the area. It's a great time of year in Jordan because you never have to cook on Saturday night. The local churches offer everything from ham dinner to an Italian feast.
Check often because we are always adding something new.

Are we back or what?

We've been away from this blog for some time but let's see if we can't get it up and active again.

You'll find a new comment under July 26th.

Fall is upon us here in Jordan, NY with an amazing array of colors everywhere. Of course the leaves are falling now and with a few more rainy days they'll all be gone. Our weather has been truly awesome with warm and sunny days and cooler nights. Looks like we had a frost last night.
Guess I better get the rest of my flower bulbs planted today.

Rested up and ready for....

The Jordan Fall Festival.

There are some new comments posted on different posts. Check them out. Some former residents are sharing their memories. We are looking for photos from the 50's. If you have some please email them in.

Village Historian Jack Horner and the Jordan Historical Society both have tons of photos. I could certainly go there and get bunches of photos, scan them and post them. The problem is I really don't have the time to do that. It is much less time consuming if someone could email some in. I will try to get to the historical society but can't guarantee anything especially now that we are into Festival season.
