Weekend update

It's not just going to be cold this weekend... there aren't many events on the calendar.

However, you can still enjoy the History Center's Railroad Exhibit--open from 10am-4pm Saturday, Jan 17. Stroll in and try your hand at operating their working electric model train set. Younger kids will LOVE the Thomas the Train table, with an extensive collection of pieces and cars (generously on loan from a local family). Make some signal flags with your child, cuddle up on a pillow with a good book, and just have fun, courtesy of GOHS and Oneonta World of Learning (OWL). Address: 183 Main St. Info: 432-0960.

Also on Sat, from 9am to 12:30pm, snowshoe at Brookfield with the Rogers Conservation Center. The Charles Baker State Forest offers many scenic and historic sights. Call to register and for details, 607-674-4017 Ext. 623.

Alternatively, the Science Discovery Center of Oneonta will be open from 12pm-4pm on Sat--if you haven't been in a while, I think you be pleased with the changes that have taken place. Located downstairs in the Physical Science Building, State University College at Oneonta. Call or email for details: 436-2011, scdisc@oneonta.edu.

The Little Delaware Youth Ensemble will be performing Sun, Jan 25th at Hartwick College's Anderson Theatre, 1 - 6p.m. Info: clarkl@hartwick.edu
