Good mornings folks,

   It was a week full of family, friends, and getting ready for Christmas. Lots of pictures of the get togethers are shared here. It is very rare for Julie and I to be off from work on a Saturday, but this weekend we went to the StarShine party in downtown Penn Yan. It was a cold frosty night, but her brother Steve and his wife and friends and kids met us there and we had a great tasting at Hoban’s Liquor Store. We usually have a party the night of StarShine, but we opted out of doing that since it was so close to Thanksgiving. We actually wanted to see all the exhibits that were downtown. It was very festive and it was the 40th anniversary of StarShine. 

     On Sunday, we went to the Big Mamou Farm store for the holiday market. We were met there by our son Jay, his wife Taylor and their three children. It was glorious and then we went to Abandoned Brewery for some pizza and wings and then back to our house to watch the Buffalo Bills defeat the Cincinnati Bengals. When they left at 5 o’clock, I was ready for bed. What a weekend!

    Our biggest sale of the year has begun and there are incredible deals that Ryan and Sam have carved out for our customers. This is the time to buy that special piece that you’ve had your eye on. There are over 100 instruments on sale with new inventory coming in every day.

Sincerely,

John Bernunzio 

Main St. bridge looking over the Keuka outlet. I’m going to miss it, but I’m not going to miss the cold. I’ve come to a point in my life where the cold just gets through to my bones. I’m looking for warmer weather for the months of January, February and March…got my ticket and my room is ready.

Holiday Market at the Big Mamou Farm Store. The kids were all about the tastings!

The ride is always a dandy adventure
