• Rain delays grape harvest at Watkins Glen vineyard (mytwintiers.com) — Heavy rain around Watkins Glen has forced Lakewood Vineyards to pause grape harvesting, as workers wait for vines and fruit to dry and fully ripen. Vineyard manager David Stamp explains how excess moisture can split grape skins and outlines hopes to finish picking by late October, depending on how kindly Mother Nature treats the Finger Lakes.
• The 9 New York Animal Sanctuaries Where You Can Spend A Day With Rescued Animals (takingthekids.com) — One of the featured sanctuaries is Farm Sanctuary right here in Watkins Glen, where you can book guided tours to meet rescued cows, pigs, and turkeys on a scenic Aikens Road farm. The piece explains visiting hours, required reservations, footwear tips, and even on-site cabins and vegan lunches, making it easy to turn a simple visit into a relaxing local weekend getaway.
• Through His Lens – Charlie Berch's photos from Penn State vs. Wisconsin (mytwintiers.com) — A photo feature on Penn State's close loss to Wisconsin also spotlights longtime Twin Tiers photographer Charlie Berch, whose work includes decades of NASCAR coverage at Watkins Glen International. Berch, celebrated for national sports images, hasn't missed a WGI race since 1987, giving local racing fans a familiar eye behind many iconic track moments.
