The newest home to the highly ratedCountry Bum’kin Antique Store is lo-cated off Route 17B in the 1890 Geiler

Family house. According to proprietor Jenny Vielandi, “We

have gotten great, positive reactions from cus-tomers with the new space, and the Town ofBethel has been very supportive.”

The store was originally located a little fartherdown the road but after outgrowing that build-ing, it was moved to the much larger whitehouse.

Vielandi started by filling only half of the newbuilding but quickly expanded and now hasmerchandise in every room, from the first floorall the way to the spacious attic.

Jenny Vielandi and her husband hail fromQueens and began collecting antiques in 2003with the hope of one dayopening a store. After adrive through Sulli-van County’sCatskills one day,they happenedacross a buildingthat was for sale anddecided to begin theirbusiness.

For five years now, The Country Bum’kin hasbeen a strong multi-dealer store, renting out 15different spaces to sellers. Jenny owns four ofthose spaces herself.

“Ever since I was little, I was going to antiquestores,” she recalled. “I loved it. I am interested inthe historical significance of the item, the associa-tion with it, how people used it. Some of theitems I find are amazing.”

A few of these amazing finds are not only col-lectibles but also represent some of SullivanCounty’s own history. In the glass counter at thefront of the store resides relics of the 1969 Wood-stock Festival and Yasgur Farms. Jenny has ob-tained a unique assortment of original tickets, daypasses and papers from the festival along withoriginal Yasgur Farms glass milk containers andother items.

Taking a walk through the Country Bum’kin isakin to taking a trip into history. Found amongthe collection of furniture, old Jelly Belly dis-pensers, records and vintage hair brushes aretreasures that could send anyone on a trip downmemory lane.

After perusing the first and second floor of the Coun-try Bum’kin, make sure to stop by the impressive attic.The architecture of the building creates a uniquespace where many treasures are hidden. In one closet at the back of the store, a plethora offigurines line the shelves.Some of the most unique items are behind a glasscase at the front of the store. Jenny Vielandi has col-lected a vast amount of Yasgur Farms and Woodstockmemorabilia that is hard to come by.

The entire acreage isdesigned to allow families a worry-free, carefree visit,focusing on all the fun a farm family could (and stillcan) enjoy on a sunny summer or autumn day.

rom its founding in 1866, CunninghamFarms has always been a family farm.

But now, 147 years later, any familycan become part of the Cunningham Farms ex-perience – and it certainly does promise to bean experience!

Siblings Chris, Colleen and Patrick Cunning-ham have turned this rural intersection of twotown roads into a family fun destination, withsomething for every age.

Parents and grandparents can stroll throughthe barn and corn maze or just relax at a picnictable while the toddlers crawl through a play-ground full of soft hay and colorfully paintedtires. Older kids, meanwhile, can challengethemselves on a homemade obstacle course ora rope maze.

And everybody will have fun on a hayride orat the Lost Irishman’s Mine, where “gems” canbe discovered just by sifting sand through awaterfall!

Inside the cozy pub or on the deck outside,The Courtyard feels completely in tunewith the outdoors culture that defines this

gorgeous nook of the Catskills.Nestled in the midst of the famed Beaverkill

Valley, the Roscoe restaurant and tavern is allabout nature. Deer, wolves and waterfowl sur-round you, as do the natural colors of locally-sourced wood and stone in the furniture andfireplace.

The menu also features local items, includingthe brand new offerings of the Roscoe BeerCompany just down the road.

Angus burgers, turkey club sandwiches andhomemade soups are top-notch, but you reallyought to try “The Tony” (sliced steak on garlicbread) or “The Victor” (ham, salami, pro-volone, roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomatoand onion on a hero roll) to experience TheCourtyard’s unique flavors.

With items ranging in price from $3 to just$14, you’re guaranteed to leave with a fullstomach AND wallet.

A well-stocked bar – featuring an enormousarray of beer, wine and hard liquor – is capa-bly tended by a variety of friendly faces, andTV and games offer even more ways to relax

you can watch players teeing up at the TwinVillage Golf Club – or deer and rabbits enjoy-ing their own meal of grass!

There’s no better time to visit 182 RocklandRoad (NY Route 206) in Roscoe than now, es-pecially with The Courtyard’s second anniver-sary party coming on September 28.

“We thank all our customers for their supportduring the last two years, because withoutthem this could not be possible,” says co-owner Courtney Kouril. “My customers havebecome like family to us!
