Coming to visit New York in October for Army Football. (Putnam Valley: home, college)

[steven r.]

Just want to say I am looking forward to coming back home for a visit and taking in some college game day festivities. I'm not going to visit the city this trip, just hanging out in Putnam/Westchester. Army is playing Boston College the weekend of October 5th. I suppose I could ask if anyone new of any fall festivals or similiar type activities in the Putnam/Westchester area? Something for Sunday perhaps? I know it's not October yet but It's getting here, summer is flying by. Anyways thanks for listening.

Double check with the Bear Mtn. Inn. They have "festivals" in the fall. I believe their Octoberfests typically happen in September, but you may want to check with them. Putnam Valley holds Ox Roasts and Octoberfests as well, on Kramers Pond Rd. I believe those are hosted by the local German-American Club. That might be a start.....

I've been going to the Oktoberfest at Bear Mtn for a couple of years. It runs every weekend in October, so you should have no problem going there during your visit. There is live music, German food and of course, plenty of German beer! There are also crafts vendors selling things, and all of this is located near Hessian Lake. It's a great way to spend a Fall afternoon. There is a parking fee at the lot near the Bear Mountain Inn. BTW, when I was there last year, the gift shop on the ground floor of the Inn had been reopened, so you can pick up Bear Mtn souvenirs if you like.

I've also been to the Oktoberfest in Putnam Valley, and yes, it is run by and held at the German-American club. Also worth attending, though not as big as the one at Bear Mtn. There is also a charge for parking at this festival.

I love West Point. Haven't been to a game at Michie Stadium in quite a while. Enjoy! Go Black Knights!
