Chowda'!

They'll pretty much turn anything into chowder these days. If you've got nothing planned on Saturday you should head downtown to check out chowderfest. Sample all the different chowder concoctions you want and then vote for your favorite. Winning chowder will go down in history as the greatest chowder in Saratoga Springs, NY for 2009. You'll be a part of history. So if you didn't make it down to Washington, D.C. to witness the inauguration of President Obama in person..well this is the next best thing. You'll be witnessing chowder history.

I know, I know..this has nothing to do with the bookstore. But does it always have to be about us?!
