Winter Jam in NYC

Setting up for the 2009 Winter Jam in NYC

Setting up for the 2009 Winter Jam in NYC

What a great time we had at the NYC Winter Jam in East River Park, Manhattan.  The Cooperstown Cookie Company was there participating in the Pride of NY Warming Hut and Farmers’ Market. Though the focus was on winter sports, we found the crowds were ready for baseball, or at least eating baseball cookies. Being New Yorkers, people especially loved our New York Yankee and New York Mets MLB licensed baseball cookies and gifts.

Sponsored by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, the Winter Jam NYC featured a 70-foot long Snow Flume for sledding, a professional snowboarding competition on a 90-foot tall Snowscraper structure, a winter snowfield with snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, a snow sculpture contest, a Warming Hut with free samples from NY State farmers and producers, performances from the high flying Skyriders, live music from artists such as Apollo Run and Dujeous, and plenty of fun activities for all ages!

It was great to see everyone enjoying winter sports, trying out tubing, skis and snow boards. It was great to meet people and chat about our baseball cookies. What a great crowd.

Countdown to Pitchers and Catchers…

Looking out at a frozen-over Otsego Lake here in Cooperstown, it’s wonderful to know that in just a few days, pitchers and catchers will be reporting for Spring Training. Is baseball your true love? Is baseball your true love? Is it just a coincidence that the start of spring training is always around Valentine’s Day?

Here’s a helpful spring training schedule for each MLB team. You can find out when your favorite MLB team reports for spring training.

If you’ve been to Cooperstown in the summer, you may be surprised to know that the lake is now frozen solid, with more than a few ice fishing shacks for very hearty fishermen. This weekend is Winter Carnival in Cooperstown, a fun event that encourages us all to embrace the cold and celebrate with friends and neighbors. Thoughts of baseball will keep me warm, and maybe some hot chocolate with our shortbread baseball cookies.

Warmly,

Pati
