WE WON!!!
Thanks to all of you who helped Roscoe receive the World Fishing Network title of ‘THE ULTIMATE FISHING TOWN USA”. While we always knew how special Roscoe is, we were happy to see how many other folks, far and wide, shared our pride and love for this place. Thank you for voting, for getting the word out to your families, friends, colleagues, and everyone you knew to VOTE for Roscoe. Every vote counted in this very tight race!!

This award and title will surely bring our tiny community the big time recognition that it deserves, on an ongoing basis. We have received several requests for production of filmclips and news articles about the area, which we of course welcome. The $25,000 award from WFN has been used to build a footbridge in Riverside Park, expanding the size of the park and providing additional access to Junction Pool. We have also developed a guided learning program, DREAMCAST, to teach visitors and residents alike how to fish --- starting with the basics. Again, thanks for helping to make this all possible with your votes!!!!

Again, thanks!!!

Community Events

 

Roscoe’s community spirit is thriving and the town continues to grow more and more beautiful each year. We are active participants in the Sullivan Renaissance Program, and are pleased to report that we have received numerous recognitions for our revitalizations efforts. We have also been consistently acknowledged for our showing of flowers in the various gardens and parks that are spread throughout the hamlet. Two lovely murals have been added to the sides of key buildings, depicting outdoors scenes from our local watercolor artist, Jack Yelle. Large wooden carved trout sculptures have been added to two strategic locations – the town’ s Western gateway and a pocket park on Stewart Avenue. A new log sided Information Booth holds a place of honor on Stewart Avenue. And finally, our “Down to the River” project in 2009 resulted in the creation of Riverside Park, a true showpiece of nature along the famous Willowemoc Creek.

 The Golden Feather awards received in 2008 and 2010 were used to redesign our sidewalks and streetscape ---- those projects are nearing completion --- and to build a Veterans Memorial at the Firehouse. The Main Street Grant provided selected property owners with funds to improve their buildings. And the survey of Historic Properties is currently in progress. We continue to move forward on other opportunities to improve our community every day.
