Orange on Blue

Orange on Blue

It’s official!  The Village is coming alive with the yellows, oranges and reds that we’ve come to expect during this time of year.  Whether you’re here to shop, dine, or make good use of our fabulous trail system, you’ll be in for an ocular treat.

Take pictures…LOTS of pictures!  The brick buildings on campus, nestled in the colorful, seasonal backdrop, are quite stunning.

No fall excursion to The Village would be complete without some hot cocoa, coffee, hard cider, or mulled wine from one of our fine purveyors of beverage.

Before long, however, the vibrant spectacle will give way to bare branches…the very reason we call this season fall.  Don’t fret!  You can still enjoy the crunching leaves underfoot, as you scuffle your way inside to warm yourself up :)

Village Stuff: UCC’s Key Lime Bars

Key Lime Bars

Confection Perfection

Every once in a while I get a sweet craving…for something other than chocolate.  Sometimes I like to have a dessert with a rich, buttery crust.  An ooey, gooey, tart filling is a plus.  Ooh!  Don’t forget a heavy dusting of powdered sugar on top!  “What on Earth could satisfy these 2pm snack desires?” you ask.  The Underground Cheesecake Company’s Key Lime Bars could…and they did :)

Ahhh.  A perfect compliment to coffee, these little babies are about as good as it gets.  I wonder how well they go with Margaritas…

Snow Fun in The Village!

Snowshoeing on the Village Lawn

Snowshoeing on the Village Lawn

Looking for something fun to do with the fam?  Something to rid you of that Cabin Fever?  Something FREE??? 

Come on over to our place!  We have a huge front lawn & a GIANT back yard (480 acres of preserved parkland), perfect for snowshoeing, hiking, skiing, sledding, snow sculpture building, dog walking, and more.  Plus, we’re right in town…closer than you think.

Man-made Mountains for Sledding

Occasionally, while hiking along Kid’s Creek, you can catch a glimpse of rabbits, woodpeckers and other birds, or even deer.  Our wildlife is pretty tame…Lucy the squirrel may even walk up and ask for a Payday.  (She’s a bit spoiled.)

After you’ve had your winter fun, you can warm up with a coffee or cocoa from Cuppa Joe or Higher Grounds, some vino at Left Foot Charley or TASTES of Black Star Farms, or some hot, homemade soup from The Silvertree Deli or Underground Cheesecake Company :)  Happy trails!
