Above is a poster devised and posted locally by Jeri Wachter with info regarding a rally at Wednesday’s county board meeting. Please try to come so we can show our county government the depth and breadth of concern over the threat of hydrofracking. Try to enlist others to come with you. Carpool if possible.
Parking in Cooperstown is problematic in the summer. The spaces immediately in front of the building have a 2-hour limit (which should be enough, provided you find a space). Nelson Ave and Pine Blvd are good options for parking, with no time limit. You may wish to arive extra early. Cooperstown Diner and Doubleday Cafe have great breakfasts. The Stagecoach and Danny’s cafes are nice, too. Another option is to go via Oneonta, park in the public parking, and take the bus. Buses leave every hour, on the hour, so it’s recommended to take the 8 a.m. bus. Get your pass in OPT office, just across from Vic’s Service on Main St. Tell the bus driver you’re going to the county office building, and he/she will know where to let you off.
