Cooperstown in Winter, part II

In Cooperstown, our winters last long enough to merit at least one more post…

I love to cross-country ski, I have a favorite path along Otesego Lake. The air is so crisp, and the scenery continues to take my breath away (or is that the cross-country skiing). I think now would be a great opportunity to mention how good Cooperstown Cookie Company shortbread baseball cookies pairs with hot chocolate. My favorite pairing is hot cocoa and our All-Star Almond Shortbread, yum!

 

Do you have a favorite pairing with Cooperstown Cookie Company baseball cookies? Let me know.

PS. The Cooperstown Cookie Company was featured on Mohawk Valley Living a popular local television show that showcases the best in our area, check it out on YouTube.

I love the chance to interact face-to-face with people, and seeing their reaction to our delicious baseball cookies. In addition to food shows and the Baseball Trade Show, I like to interact with people in Cooperstown, whether it’s the Baseball Hall of Fame Game, during the Baseball Hall of Fame’s Induction Weekend, or during one of Cooperstown’s festivals. While Cooperstown is hopping with baseball fans in the spring and summer, I’m invariably asked, “What do you do all winter?”

A true winter highlight is coming up this weekend. The Cooperstown Winter Carnival will be held February 8-10. There are fun events for all ages, united with the theme of “Shiver Me Timbers!” The Cooperstown Cookie Company will be there, entering delicious treats in both the Chocolate Lovers’ Festival and the Cheesecake Tasting, which benefits the Double H Camp Hole in the Woods at Lake Luzerne.

The Cooperstown Concert Series brings great artists to Cooperstown during the fall and winter months, and other local organizations are busy offering events for us locals and our more hardy tourist friends. For example, Glimmerglass Opera, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the Fenimore Art Museum sponsor a free Cabin Fever Film series every Friday in the winter. The more adventurous of you may want to try tubing at Glimmerglass State Park, just north of Cooperstown on East Lake Road.

 

And, if you visit the Baseball Hall of Fame in the winter months, you can enjoy crowd-free viewing of the treasures of baseball. While at the Baseball Hall of Fame, be sure to check out their excellent gift shop, which features Cooperstown Cookie Company baseball cookies, as well as the Baseball…Anyone Can Play gift line of t-shirts and mugs we created with the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Let me know your favorite memory of Cooperstown in winter.
