As you probably read here, Santa made his way to Broadalbin-Perth TLC last Saturday morning, where they had a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausage, juice, milk and coffee, a “Santa Land” set up for kids to do crafts and musical guest Gary Van Slyke. 

Dave Wallin-Eddy was there and was kind enough to share his photos of the event.

If you have never been to the Landis Arboretum in Esperence, you are missing one of the greatest natural sites of the area. The Landis Arboretum is a public garden overlooking historic Schoharie Valley, a 548-acre site stretching into both Schoharie and Montgomery Counties.

Forty acres are developed with plantings of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous perennials from around the world. The remainder of the property consists of natural areas, woodlands, wetlands, more than 8 miles of trails, and open fields reminiscent of the former Oak Nose Farm, homestead of founder Fred Lape.

Here are some amazing photos of things you can see at the Landis Arboretum posted on flickr by greyhound dad.
