Tontogany Revitalization

We were tagged by one of our followers, after she saw this video, which features one of our own: Madge Brown! As we all know, the people in our village are just as important, if not more so, to making it a vibrant place to be. 🌟 Enjoy!

It’s supposed to be beautiful this weekend, so while you’re out and about enjoying the ☀️ sunshine ☀️ , be sure to stop and visit our new art installation on Village Hall! (We’re sure many of you also participated in the completion of this mosaic.) Thank you to Gail Christofferson, owner of Animal House Glass, for heading up this work of art, for the 150th celebration last year! 🎉

Lights! 💡 Camera! 🎥 Action! 🎬 Today is the day! The first chance to see the “But, What if?” show. Part true Togany history, part fictionalized events - but all laughs. (Plus!
