Santa at PAFB ornament now available

Posted on Oct 16, 2020

What would the holidays be without a new ornament to hang on your holiday tree or in your window?

A sixth limited edition tree ornament featuring a picture of a local landmark is now available from the Rotary Club of Plattsburgh. The three-inch scalloped edge ornament features a rendering of Santa atop a B-47 Stratojet on the front of the ornament. The representation was produced from a photo courtesy of the Plattsburgh Aircraft Restoration Group.

On the reverse side of the ornament is a description, which reads "SANTA COMES TO TOWN The Plattsburgh Air Force Base operated from 1954 through 1995. The annual appearance of Santa atop a vintage B-47 Stratojet on Route 9 still marks the star of the holiday season."

The porcelain ornament is delicately trimmed in 22-karat gold and fired at 1400 degree for durability. Cornelia Forrence, co-chair of the Rotary club Ornament Committee, said the latest ornament continues the club’s emphasize on the rich history and beauty of the region.

34th Annual Rotary Fishing Classic a Success

Salmon, Trout, Walleye winners persevere in face of Coronavirus

PLATTSBURGH, NY __ The pandemic surrounding Coronavirus did not dampen the enthusiasm for this year’s 34th Annual Plattsburgh Rotary International Fishing Classic.

Chad Brown (Fairfield,VT) weighed in this 9 lb. 7oz. Walleye at Perkins Pier Sunday morning!

In fact, Tournament Co-Chair Peter Cadieux said the Rotary Club of Plattsburg was very pleased with this year’s fishing classic. “Despite all of the obstacles and issues with Coronavirus and having to abide by state guidelines (New York and Vermont) on both sides of the lake, we are really, really encouraged and very happy with the attendance.”

Cadieux said anglers were out fishing the Lake Champlain waters from midnight Friday morning until noon Sunday, and everyone seemed happy even if they were forced to wear face masks at weigh stations as part of stricter health safety precautions implemented to safeguard everyone involved.
