Skiing can be hard on the wallet, but this winter when you stay at select inns and B&B's in Madison County, you can ski all day long at Toggenburg in Fabius for $25.  Great country inns such as the Brewster Inn or Brae Loch Inn in Cazenovia headline this special, but there is a price point available for every family.  Other participating accommodations include Graziano's World Famous Inn, The Lincklaen House, The Octagon B&B, Colgate Inn and Notleymere Cottage.  You won't find a better way to save money on the slopes this season.  All of the details can be found here.

 Earlville - The Earlville Opera House Presents: Chris Smither - Acoustic Blues. According to the Associated Press, "Smither is an American original, a product of the musical melting pot, and one of the absolute best singer/songwriters in the world". I researched Smither quite a bit and he has been in the business for many years. His reviews enticed me to learn more about him. I listened to a few of his songs and I'll admit it...I'm the newest Chris Smither fan! His music will speak to a variety of music fans no matter what your taste is. Take the opportunity to see this famed artist as he makes a stop in our area. If you'd like to hear for yourself, visit his myspace page . The show begins at 8pm on Friday the 25th at the EOH.
