EARLY ACCESS

Welcome back. As always, this edition is packed. I hope you enjoy the read and I haven’t forgotten about the fossil and vulture articles. See ya out there.

The votes are in and the motion has passed: The Catskill Crew Dinner Club is officially a go with a 96% approval rating.

Work is underway and I’m hoping to announce the inaugural dinner next week (fingers crossed). Given the sheer size of the Catskills, I’m thinking we start the party in the “big city” aka Kingston. If we deem it a success, we can launch more across the region.

I partnered up with local legend and creative wizard, Jamie Kennard, to hook up Crew Members with early access tickets to the local premiere of his new film Queen of the Catskills.

The premiere will be at Tinker Street Cinema in Woodstock on Saturday, December 13th. Proceeds from the ticket sales help support Winter4Kids, whose mission centers on access and equity in outdoor sports and learning. GET YOUR TICKETS HERE.

The winner of the Catskill Crew x Keep Good Company Records giveaway is KATHY C. Check your email, because you just won 2 tickets to the Lost Leaders + Ginger Winn concert at Park Theatre this Friday, along with a bunch of goodies.

There are only a few tickets left for this Friday. So, if you want to join the fun, grab your tickets!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, November 23rd at 5pm and come by West Kill Brewing to watch the 2025 Fly Fishing Film Tour. All are welcome. 10 buckos at the door. If weather is good, I’ll probably do some fishing before — reach out if that’s your thing. See ya there and tight lines my friends.

The Fall Edition of the Quarterly is still shipping for a bit longer - then I’ll be fully focused on the Winter Edition.

If you’ve purchased one, I hope to see you at the event on Dec 5th! If you haven’t, I just updated the website for a smoother checkout experience. Grab your snail mail RIGHT HERE.
