Chips And Beer Fest To Benefit History Center

Posted onNovember 7, 2022

The Saratoga County History Center announced that DeCrescente Distributing Co. is sponsoring the Saratoga Chips and Beer Festival that will take place on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 1-5 p.m. at Brookside Museum, 21 Fairground Ave., Ballston Spa.   

The famous Saratoga Chips are the feature of the museum’s current exhibit, “In the Saratoga Style: Potato Chips and Their Regional Folklore.” Festival goers can enjoy Saratoga Chips, represented by Mechanicville’s DeCrescente Distributing Co.

The festival, a benefit for the Saratoga County History Center, is $20 in advance, and $25 on the day of the event, while designated drivers will be charged $10.  

Snacks and the first beverage are included in the ticket price.

John Kirk and Trish Miller of Greenfield Center will provide live music that consists of  fiddle tunes and folk songs.  

To round off the festival, there will be a campfire, a silent auction, and a game of potato chip trivia.

“We are thrilled to start the Saratoga Chip and Beer Festival,” said Field Horne, Saratoga County History Center president. “We have a beautiful exhibit that tells the many stories behind the chip, and it’s natural to partner with DeCrescente, which not only distributes local craft beer and Saratoga Chips but is a historic, fourth-generation Saratoga County business.”

Johnson Capital Realty Open In Halfmoon Where Owner Enjoys Business Community

By Susan Elise Campbell

Longtime real estate professional Lynn Johnson launched Johnson Capital Realty in Halfmoon this summer to reflect her commitment to the Capital Region and her personal brand of customer service.

“Real estate is in my blood and has always been a passion,” said Johnson, who entered the field in 2003 in a “now or never” moment that set the career she “had always wanted” into motion.

“The drop-out rate for new agents is very high during the first year or two,” she said. “But I worked very hard and never gave up.”

 She followed the advice she now gives to her licensed real estate agents: “Work your contacts, the center-of-influence people you know, and be willing to talk about real estate so that when they think about real estate, they think of you.”

Johnson worked with several of the area’s well known realty firms until 2018, when she went out as a sole agent working out of Ballston Lake. Today she is a broker with five agents and three more joining Johnson Capital Realty by the end of the year, she said.

While today’s market is “challenging,” according to Johnson her business plan is “on track,” which includes training more agents and hiring some staff. But she will keep the business “on the small side,” she said. “I would like to double in size in a few years, but it’s quality, not quantity, that I am focusing on.”

Nemer Motor Group and the Nemer family have stepped up to support cardiac care at Saratoga Hospital, helping fund equipment to help meet increased demand for cardiac monitoring in the hospital’s Alfred Z. Solomon Emergency Center.

A donation was made to procure an additional cardiac monitor.

 Saratoga Hospital set records for Emergency Department patients in April, May and June, including many who required cardiac monitoring, hospital officials said.

 “Chest pain is the second most frequent complaint of Emergency Department patients worldwide,” said Lisa West, administrative director of emergency and urgent care services at Saratoga Hospital. “Thanks to the Nemers’ generosity, we now have an additional cardiac monitor— \an invaluable tool for giving patients the best chance for a positive outcome.”

The monitor is the Nemer family’s third cardiac-related gift to Saratoga Hospital in recent months. Since March 2021, the family has donated $56,000 to provide the Emergency Department monitor, fund four neonatal cardiac monitors, and underwrite the hospital’s subscription to the emergency LifeNet System.

SUNY Adirondack now has unveiled its newly upgraded dining hall that includes traditional and bar-height seating, study pods and spaces for groups and individuals to work in privacy. 

“Working with a local vendor, we were able to provide a modern, welcoming environment,” said Tom Kent, executive director of SUNY Adirondack’s Faculty-Student Association. “We have already received many compliments from students and staff.” 

The project was spearheaded by interior designer Amanda Blaise of Girvin Office in Greenfield Center, whose designs were distributed by Charlie’s Office Furniture, a Queensbury-based company. 

Blaise’s designs coming to fruition is the culmination of a long process delayed by the pandemic. According to Kent, the college’s partnership with Chartwells was renewed in 2019. Part of that continued relationship included a renovation to the serving area. Then COVID-19 hit and delayed the rest of the plans, which included upgrades to Einstein’s Bagel Cafe in Scoville Hall, as well as the food court area.
