Zander Frost writes: 21 dogs were found dead today at Anastasia’s Acres Dog Boarding in the Town of Argyle, the Washington County Sheriff's Office said.

One dog was taken to an emergency animal clinic, the Sheriff's office said.

"The owners of Anastasia’s Acres are cooperating with the Sheriff’s Office and the investigation. A Veterinarian was on scene assisting investigators along with the Animal Control Officers for the Town of Argyle," the Sheriff's office released added.

"This is an on-going investigation, and if anyone has information, please contact the Sheriff’s Office."

Since 2022, Ryan McNaughton has operated Stinky’s Coffee as a mobile business that developed a following at farmers markets and local events.

Now the 2005 South High graduate is preparing to open his first bricks and mortar location in the new Moreau Commons redevelopment of the former Autoworld property on Route 9 north of Northway Exit 17.

“It was just a no-brainer,” Ryan said. “Perfect spot.”

Stinky’s plans a full coffeehouse experience with seating on two floors and ambitious hours.

“The goal is to be open from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. right now,” Ryan said. “There’s just so much traffic on that road.”

Beyond his custom coffee blends — he plans to launch four new varieties when the location opens — Stinky’s plans to offer house-made bagels, sourdough bread, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, cookies, and a small lunch menu with soups.

Kevin Haux, of Haux Nest bread, will handle all of the baking, Ryan said.

He said two large walls will feature critter-themed murals painted by local artist Hannah Williams.

The 135th Washington County Fair opened Monday, Aug. 18, and runs to Sunday, Aug. 24.

What’s the biggest draw?

“It’s the package,” replies Frank Nestle, the Fair treasurer. “We offer so much, and everything except amusement rides are included in the admission — all the exhibits, motor sports, music, vendors, community organizations. And of course the foods!”

He says, “Last year was a very good year, with record attendance. We’re happy every year when we have over 100,000 people at the Fair. Saturdays are big, but we would like to see people come on any day. Might be less hectic at other times.”

Mr. Nestle notes, “With our diversity we do not try to change very much in any one year. We always have some new music and entertainment acts.”

About 550 milk cows, 150 beef cattle, 200 goats, more than 25 swine are expected at this year’s Fair.

Some of the entered animals may not show “due to conflicts in their social calendar,” Mr. Nestle joked in an email interview. “But we get about the number….”

Plus about 340 poultry participants including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, peacocks, guinea hens — “all of that and rabbits,” Mr. Nestle says. And sheep and horses, etc.

More than 450 youth exhibitors show their livestock, photography, woodworking, vegetables, foods, artwork, sewing, crafts and more. Mr. Nestle says the number of youth exhibitors has increased “in the last couple years.”

“Ag is a very strong and a vital part of where and who we are,” in Washington County, Mr. Nestle says. “Some aspects like dairy have consolidated, and also there is growth with more diversity, vineyards and vegetables.”

“I just toy with farming,” Mr. Nestle said, “have a few sheep, etc…” However, “I’ve been involved in one way or another (with the fair) since the 1970s.”

The Fair basics

Admission: $15, $45 weeklong pass, free for active military & ages 13-under.

Gates open: Monday 5-10 p.m.; Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Rain or shine.

Feigenbaum Cleaners will become “part of the Best Cleaners family of companies,” said the release.

Feigenbaum’s, owned and operated by Todd Feigenbaum, was founded by his grandfather in 1917, said info.

Best Cleaners is in its 20th year of business, under “third-generation dry cleaner Tim McCann,” CEO and President.

Feigenbaum’s customers will be migrated to the Best Cleaners system, said info. Their Glens Falls, Queensbury, Wilton and Saratoga locations will be rebranded.

Mr. McCann was quoted, “Not only does Feigenbaum’s have an incredible legacy in our community, but I have looked to Todd as a friend and mentor for many years....Coming together will allow us to combine our strengths, enhance our service offerings, and continue to provide the highest standard of dry cleaning and laundry services to our expanded customer base.”

Mr. Feigenbaum was quoted, “We are confident that our customers will continue to receive the exceptional service they’ve come to expect, now with the added benefits and reach of the Best Cleaners network.”

Glens Falls Police said after a brief pursuit, they arrested Pebbles R. Slade, 33, for an alleged car theft from the Open Door Mission in Glens Falls.

Police said on August 15 at approximately 4:50pm, they were "alerted to an active larceny of a vehicle from the Open Door Mission."

"At approximately 4:55pm, Officers on patrol observed the defendant, Pebbles R. Slade (age 33), operating the stolen vehicle in the area of Ridge St in the City of Glens Falls. Officers attempted to conduct a vehicle stop at which point Slade fled.
After a brief pursuit Slade crashed the vehicle into bushes in the area of South St and E State St."

Zander Frost writes: It's nearly Fall and that can only mean one thing — it's Spirit Halloween season.

The seasonal Halloween retailer will have a new Queensbury location this year, in the former JoAnn Fabrics at 756 Glen Street. It's set to open in September.

Spirit Halloween previously operated in the former Sears in Aviation Mall. That space is now occupied — it will soon be home to Jeremy Treadway's Adk Karting Experience. Construction is currently underway.

All JoAnn fabrics stores were closed earlier this year as the company went out of business.

Zander Frost writes: Fountain Square Outfitters in downtown Glens Falls plans to open its second location — in the outlets on Route 9 in Lake George/Queensbury.

Renderings show Fountain Square Trading Post taking over the building that once housed the Orvis Outlet.

Nancy and Matt Fuller opened the outdoor outfitting business in Glens Falls more than 14 years ago.

“The FSO Trading Post will expand our offerings in climbing, hiking, camping and all our other outdoor adventures, while also continuing the great gear we’ve established in Glens Falls,” they wrote on Facebook.

“No, FSO in Glens Falls is not going anywhere! The Trading Post will help us free up space to expand our offerings in Glens Falls. Hiring, grand opening news and the like will be forthcoming,” they added.
