Step Back in Time

25 YEARS AGO

March 11, 1985

OTEGO _ A new horse show group, the Chenango Hunter Association, was recently formed by local instructors, breeders and amateurs to improve horse shows in Chenango and Otsego counties.

Plans for 1985 include a “mini-series” of shows for riders: June 30 at Pine Ridge Stables, Otego; July 4 at Norwich; Aug. 3 at Otsego County Fair, Morris; Aug. 9, the Chenango County Fair at Norwich.

Directors of the group are Jane Sheldon, Pine Ridge Stables, Otego; Debbie Brown, Hideen Pond Stable, Norwich; Mary Ann Weidman, Stone Manor Farm, Mt. Upton; Mary Pomeroy, Mill Creek Stable, South New Berlin; and Margaret Thomson, Thomson Farm, New Berlin.

50 YEARS AGO

March 11, 1960

DELHI _ Plans have been completed for the Delhi Village Improvement Society’s annual Bakeless Bake Sale, to be conducted March 15 through 21. The 50-year-old Federal Women’s Club originated the idea of the Bakeless Bake Sale three years ago when the organization gave up its annual sale to help a new bakery get started in Delhi.

The idea caught fire and has been so well received by the community that many streets have initiated coffes and teas, while others canvas each resident of the blocks assigned to them.

The proceeds of last year’s project provided sufficient funds to furnish a television set for the Delhi Hospital. Funds from this year’s project will be used for the society’s home and school committee’s activities for plants to beautify the village this summer and to send Safety Patrol Boys on their annual trip to Washington, D.C.
