Winslow went bike riding!

When Winslow read that his friend Sockie went bike riding last weekend, he felt inspired!


Winslow loves to ride in style!


He biked back and forth on the canal trail for a while, enjoying the sun and the birds. :~)

People of Jordan: Cathy


Cathy has lived here for 42 years. She likes the fact that you know everybody. She enjoys that the community has a tendency of being able to work together well. For example all different aspects of the community come together for the Fall Festival. She also works at the library a couple times a week. There is quite a variety of people that come in. The phrase it takes all kinds of people to make the world go round is quite true. Many people come in to find out more about the canal history. She is very interested with the local history. Many of the house in town were converted into houses. Her's was a mule barn, then a while after that a school master lived there. She also has a sign from the malt shop that used to be where the dance studio is. History is rich and and exciting in our fair town!

People of Jordan: Sam and Mary Ann

(Sam)

Sam and his wife, Maryanne have lived here for 2 years. They love living here in Jordan. They moved "south" from the Tug Hill Plateau and they've noticed a significant change in the weather. They love their neighbors as they were nicely welcomed into the neighborhood. Sam enjoys walking on the canal trail and the fact they can walk around town. They enjoy walking to the Post Office, Tops, and the Library in the warmer months. Mary Ann loves the library just as much as Sam does. In fact they wrote a letter to the Editor of the Post Standard to show their appreciation. They love the friendly people and the friendly kitty at the library. Sam and Maryanne are very glad to call, Jordan, home.

People of Jordan: Diane


Diane grew up in our fair village. She now owns a little antique store called "Dark Horse Antiques". She became a nurse, and during that time she always collected antiques. When she retired from nursing, she decided to open a little antique store here in Jordan. She told me that many of her costumers are from out of town, usually people interested in the canal history. She loves the history behind the canal and enjoys being here. I must say, it's lovely to have her here! :~)
