Historic 160-Year-Old Cider Mill Near Cooperstown Closing
A message posted to customers on Facebook states the Fly Creek Cider Mill and Orchard is closing on Sunday, January 31, 2021.
Another family favorite destination may be closing for good due to the pandemic. The water-powered cider mill on the banks of Fly Creek has been pressing cider for 162 years. Many families look forward to the wagon rides, the duck pond, and the famous cider tour.
History of the Fly Creek Cider Mill:
Now in its 162nd year, Dutch settlers in Fly Creek Valley called the low-lying swampy area “vlie.” Over time “vlie” turned into “fly,” hence the hamlet’s unusual name.

Trump brought all this upon himself
I am amused (dumbfounded?) by the Letters to the Editor saying Trump has been a victim of baseless media attacks.
The latest said he has suffered “death by a thousand cuts.” If there were a train wreck each day and the media reported it, would that mean the media had something against railroads?
Ex-employees and family confirm that he is a dangerous, narcissistic sociopath. Trump has almost daily done irreparable damage to various departments of our government, institutions of our country and traditions of our nation, ushering in the death of truth and culminating in conspiracy theorists storming our Capitol.

FAIRHOPE – While most of the debris from Hurricanes Sally and Zeta has been collected, fallen trees are still not picked up along Fly Creek as officials debate which agency is responsible for the cost, Fairhope officials said.
Richard Johnson, Fairhope public works director, said the U.S. National Conservation Resources Service was expected to pay the cost of collection.
“We went round and round with NRCS, who’s supposed to be the primary lead on the funding there,” Johnson told City Council members on Dec. 14. “They finally at least put it in writing and abdicated that they weren’t going to be in it for the money.”
