Snowbirds A

After a very evil “Florida January”, February 6, 2025, was a wonderful day. Perfect, anti-weather for the annual Peekskill Day 2025. Pekskill Day in Carlin Park in Jupiter, Florida, is a delightful way to see some old buddies and close friends.

About 37 years ago, rishes and Rick Baisley thought, after moving from Peekskill, for graduates from the Pekskill High School, who went south to have a meeting for a simple day of camaraderie. And so Peekskill Day started.

A few years ago there were two Peekskill days. One was in Tarpon Springs on the The west coast of Florida and another in Melbourne on the east coast. Word of mouth More and more visitors encouraged. It is estimated that it was over in 2010 200 participants together. In recent years, the number has the number due to natural events The Peekskill Day has now declined considerably and is now exclusively an event on the east coast.

Some of us have decided to get the word that we would like to see The participants increase. Pekskill Day is not only for graduates at the Pekskill High School; It is for everyone who moved south from our hometown to Florida. This includes people who live in Florida all year round, or “snowbirds” who come down for part of the year.

A big compliment to Alice and Spanky Maclennan, who have organized the meeting in recent years, as well as Sandy and Jack Vanscoy, which help by saving and setting up supplies.

Come down to join us. There will be coffee and pastries that are waiting to welcome you! You will see visitors with known names: Schmidt, Hanley, Cacacace, Lepore, Sewalk, Pipe, rice, lemak, treptow, cummins and who knows who else.
