Here in Oswego County, people aren’t strangers to the heat and humidity of a Central New York summer. We do everything from cranking up the AC, to heading out on the boat for the breeze and maybe a dip in the lake, to relaxing poolside with a cool drink. Pets are just as affected by the heat as their human counterparts, if not more.
Nearly idyllic weather greeted the large crowd at Thursday night’s opening of Harborfest 23. The music started at 7 p.m. with Hollywood Nights (a tribute to Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band).
