The Lead

The chambers converge on the barn at Tilly Foster Sept 17 one mixer, multiple chambers, appetizer buffet and cash bar (2 min)

The Brewster Chamber hosts the Multi-Chamber Mixer Thursday, September 17, 5:30 to 7:30 PM, in the barn at Tilly Foster Farm, 100 NY-312, Brewster.

The format is simple: appetizer buffet, cash bar, and the kind of room where one introduction pays for the ticket. Tickets are on sale now through the chamber's Square site. Putnam runs on relationships; this is the room where they get built. 👉

Roads & Rails

A quiet overnight in Putnam no weather alerts, no new road advisories as of Friday morning (1 min)

Nothing broke overnight. No active National Weather Service alerts for Putnam County, and no new road or utility advisories logged for the county as of this morning.

Quiet is the story we can verify. When the next storm or closure lands, it leads this section the same morning.
