Putnam County Clerk Candidate Lithgow Osborne to Walk Across Putnam County on September 13. Starting in Cold Spring and ending on the steps of the historic County Courthouse in Carmel, Osborne seeks to connect with neighbors of east and west Putnam.

PHILIPSTOWN, NY, Putnam County Putnam County Clerk candidate Lithgow Osborne will walk from Cold Spring to Carmel on September 13, 2014 to demonstrate, in his words, “the distance that separates Eastern and Western Putnam is not far.” In an effort to address the concerns that County services should serve all who live in Putnam, Osborne plans to stop along his walk to meet his neighbors.
“When you walk you see and hear so much more,” he continues.

Osborne’s final destination is the steps of the historic courthouse located at the county seat in Carmel, NY. He estimates that he will arrive by 5:00pm. “It’s a small investment of my time to hear from the people of Putnam and learn what they expect of their government.”

For this “Walk Across Putnam” which is approximately 20 miles from Cold Spring, Osborne has been regularly walking several miles per day in his hometown of Garrison and throughout Putnam County, knocking on doors to introduce himself. “My gas bills have never been lower,” Osborne joked.

The walk will continue the following weekend, September 20th, with a walk from Carmel through Patterson to the Village of Brewster. “My goal is to raise awareness for my campaign and to meet my neighbors. I want to hear what they have to say.”
