Julio’s Musings Around Columbia County, New York

I don’t usually repeat topics on my blog but will break the practice this time.

The simple thing in Life are the best , Happy Clown

When Easter came and went early spring 2009 and the anticipation of the spring opening of Happy Clown came and went with nary an opening soon, alarm ran through Columbia County or at least the Miyares Farm household. Alarm turned to distress and depression as the “For Sale” sign appeared by the smiling clown.
The spring came and went and then the summer (though this summer has felt like spring) and still nothing more then a lonely “For Sale” sign.
All hope seemed lost. The kids were gloomy (well actually not them but me) thinking a staple of Columbia County living was lost.
Then in late July as I was zooming on the 2 lane country road 82 throwing a quick glance to catch the sad looking Clown mascot, I saw the “Open” side and the Flag!
It had been saved, how I don’t know. A new owner?, the old geezers that own it deciding a recession was not the right time to sell? A public referendum to re-open post haste? I don’t care wish as I finish off my Butterscotch Vanilla sundae on a hazy lazy Saturday afternoon in the dog days of summer 2009.

Man, if I had a bonus this year, I may have bought it. Maybe next time it is up for sale.
