The children hold their pet chickens Daisy and Squirt for the photo session.Today was another first for Putnam County: A 74-foot tall, 12-ton Norway spruce will be the centerpiece of this year’s Rockefeller Center Christmas celebration, thanks to the Acton family of Mahopac Falls.

Anyone know what route they took to get into Manhattan. I know it went through Jefferson Valley but know little else of the route from there. Did they have special permission to go down the TSP?

Yep, I do all I can to avoid NYC, especially the down town area from about the week before thanksgiving to the week after new years. That way I avoid the 1,000,000 tourists in the city turning what is normally a very hectic city into a complete mess for weeks.
