August 2016

Home is where the heart is!

You might agree, but during the summer our hearts get to run free, go on vacation, and hopefully be a little more childlike. Now that’s it’s back-to-school time, we’re wrapping up one of Upstate New York’s hottest summers ever. It’s been an amazing season (outside the home) packed with an ever-growing lineup of festivals, camps, fitness activities, and live music. Now’s the time to head back inside and prepare our homes for a little well-deserved nesting.

Heading inside can be hard.

Whether the change of seasons is your return from an epic adventure or just a sign the pool is closing, the change of seasons can be bittersweet. We hope that brisk temperatures, local harvest, and holiday preparations will delight you over the next few months. After all, ‘tis the season for both pumpkin beer and pumpkin spice lattes! But in case you or any member of your family needs a little cheering up as summer fades, your VIP savings with these local vendors can help. Should the situation get critical, you could do the ultimate favor heading into fall – hire a cleaning service!

Just keep in mind that these offers are subject to change, they cannot be combined with other offers, and you may need to present your valid 2016 VIP Perks card or key tag to secure your discount.
