new to naomi

What a year 2015 has been! Naomi Lynn dedicated a lot of time this year exploring the area, and learning what she could about CNY. These were her Top 5 adventures for the year.

After writing about '7 Fall Things You Can Do in Utica and They're Cheap,' I figured I would take my own advice and have a cheap, fall, fun-filled weekend.

It has been a busy weekend for 'New to Naomi' - complete with an appearance at the Ziyara Shrine Circus, a fundraising walk, and being locked in a room solving puzzles to try and 'escape.'

It was my first time in North Carolina, it was my first time seeing the ocean, and it was my first time being stuck in a car for 23 hours - Tons of 'firsts' for this week's 'New to Naomi.'

This weekend my adventures took me on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad for an event with the CATALYST group (and the Greater Utica Chamber).

This weekend I headed into Little Falls for some exploring and adventures. My travels led me to 'Canal Days,' with drinks, music, fun, and a little gambling.

It was a very educational, (but still tons of fun) 'New to Naomi' this weekend. I headed to New York Mills for the Polish-American Festival.

This weekend, 'New to Naomi' took me on a fun experience - my first ever New York fair! I've always loved fairs, so obviously I was excited when I heard there was one going on in Boonville.

'New to Naomi' has been going on for quite some time now, so I figured it's time to explore the big one - Utica. This is part one of the Utica series, which took me by the Parkway to the Utica Zoo, Proctor Park, and that area of the city.

The Boilermaker weekend is more than just the race on Sunday. There's the Boilermaker Expo - which included my first-ever eating contest, the kids run, and tons of other activities - all leading up to race day!

More exploring in Central New York for 'New to Naomi' - this time my adventures took me into the area of Cooperstown.

This weekend, 'New to Naomi' took me up in North Country - near Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake. It was a camping adventure like nothing I've ever experienced before - 'New York Style.'
