We get so many questions from newer residents about that "strange looking light thing" in the Upper Village a.k.a. The Dummy Light. Our friend Marc Cheshire just pointed us here: http://www.crotonfriendsofhistory.org/dummy-forever/
It was a banner day at Sunday's Peekskill Flea Market on Bank Street yesterday where we met a new vendor known simply as Big John. A retired local firefighter, his table was a veritable potpourri of everything from 1950's jewelry to boxes of moldy magazines from the turn of the century to the 1920's. He said he will be there every few weeks....It goes without saying that we were in heaven...
In one of those boxes was some vintage fire fighting equipment ephemera, photos, pages from the Harris Equipment Catalog, and more. Most of it was beyond redemption but we were able to salvage a few things and the price was right. And so...for the enjoyment of our all volunteer Croton Fire Department, click on the restored catalog scans below, all circa 1900. And stay tuned for more.

Under bright sunny skies with cool breezes, Summerfest 2015 got underway after many months of preparation. Many thanks to all
the volunteers, staff and to Dr. Greg Schmidt a.k.a. "Mr. Summerfest". A
former sitting trustee, village mayor, active member of the Croton
Rotary, and involved in numerous other public service endeavors for
decades, Greg has overseen Croton's Summerfest for more years than we
can remember.
A shining example of what really
makes a community strong--and a destination for visitors
too--The Summerfest Tradition. Click on the photos below--they're in no particular order--FINAL INSTALLMENT--ALL PHOTOS, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

They tried...Susan and Chris really tried. But the ever resourceful Chico once again made off with the keys to the BAKED BY SUSAN van and headed up to the Summerfest 2015 Parade.
Chico's under house arrest for the rest of the month. Click on the photos below. For more about Baked by Susan, visit bakedbysusan.com
There were unconfirmed reports that he muttered "Take that Theo!"
