• Approved projects are expected to be announced  in April 2026. 

•   Awards  were made for three holiday decorated homes in Schoharie with local  restaurant gift certificates being given to the Loden-Kirby home at 255  Main Street, the Godoy home at 239 Main Street and the Cooper home at  106 Fort Road.  Choosing was tough with so many nicely decorated homes  and businesses making the village shine.

• To name a few accomplishments in 2025, the association replaced the historic banners on Main Street and added an additional 10 banners, created a color tri-fold advertising businesses in the Village of Schoharie, planned a community luau with Wayward Lane Brewing, delivered 14 welcome baskets to new residents, hosted the 8th Annual Lily Festival, and prepared lights in Fox Creek Park for the holiday season.
• The association will continue sponsorship of ice skating in Fox Creek Park, spring/summer flower barrels, Little League sponsorship, and SCS scholarships, summer concerts, the 9th Annual Lily Festival/Lily Park maintenance, and Lights in Fox Creek Park.  Plans are to work on a number of projects in the village including continuing work on a village mural, working with other organizations for the celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary, and expanding snowflakes throughout the village for next year’s holiday season.  
• Sharing January’s meeting with members from the community, SEEC shared information about the next Curb Appeal Program, the superintendent of SCS shared progress on updated changes at the campus and planned events in 2026, and the Schoharie Library shared their successes in 2025 as well as plans for 2026.  One idea that was discussed was creation of a shared village calendar.
• The Schoharie Promotional Association meets the second Monday of each month at 6:30 pm at town hall, 300 Main Street.  All are invited to attend meetings and bring your ideas and suggestions.  Check our website for information
