The Plan
We know it's tough for readers to know where new posts are made so what we'll try to do is do a post like this and share where a new post has been made.
Welcome to new blogger Linda (Ketcham) Handley who left a post under Blogging 101 (header).
Dave Vromman left a new post under Connecting yesterday with today.
Also welcome to Bruce. See the new post from Bruce under Connecting yesterday with today. Susan & Bruce are members of the Jordan historical society. We should be seeing some neat out-house photos of Jordan. Are we really excited about seeing outhouse photos? Mmmmmmmm.........We are!

Enhancing the canal in Jordan
Numerous ideas are circulating on how Jordan can enhance their canal presence. With the state-wide revitalization of the both navigable canal and the original canal many canal communities are thriving.
Jordan has the history. The walking tour is a beginning. If you have any suggestions let us know.

Connecting yesterday with today....
South Main Street - Cindy K. (early 50's), Teresa (current. Thanks for the photos Teresa.
We are working on a series of Jordan photo albums which will be available on line. Hopefully we'll get at least one connected Easter Sunday. Hey Dave V., do you have any photos of out-houses on the four corners?
Is everyone telling their friends and family about the JordanNY Blog?

Events in Jordan
For a small village we are lucky to have three...well kind of four special events.
Beginning the summer with a large Memorial Day Commemoration (5-graveside services), Parade of Bands, Massing of the Bagpipes. With more than 10 bands, floats, fire trucks, veterans, girl and boy scouts and much, much more some say the Jordan parade is one of the largest in Central New York. Chicken-bbq, hot dog/hamburg/sausage sale and three restaurants feed our hungry visitors. The Jordan Historical Society hosts an open house at the Jordan Erie Canal museum and the Bramley Free Library hosts an ice cream social. Spectators from across CNY spend the day in Jordan.
Mid-summer, July 14th this year we have a the Erie Canal Celebration. A new event in Jordan, this year is the third. A village wide yard sale, art & craft vendors, music, open house at the Jordan Erie Canal Museum, Erie Canal Cloggers demonstration and more attract visitors for the day.
In the fall we have the Jordan Fall Festival - this year is the 61st! September 21, 22 & 23. The major fund raiser for the Jordan Community Council the festival has grown to be a northeast attraction. Greased pole climb, antique & classic car, bike n' truck show, Alpine Classic Run, live headliner music entertainers, kid's greased pole cross, home-made donuts, pre-read book sale, amusement rides, live reptiles, amazing food, and so much more. More than 300 volunteers working over the three day event. The Festival committee works year 'round to plan another great festival. One of the oldest and continually running events in New York State we offer free admission, free parking, free shuttle and free live entertainment.
With winter brings the Christmas Tree Lighting..including a visit from Santa. After the tree lighting in the village center we Christmas carol along the canal towpath to the fire department where we all have cookies and cocoa with Santa. This special event is for friends and neighbors to gather together and enjoy the holiday season.
