We did it! I did it! You did it! Owego is OFFICIALLY the COOLEST Small Town in America! I couldn’t be more proud if i had discovered Owego myself! Budget Travel Magazine back in February went looking for the coolest small town in America for their annual contest. Out of 152 submissions, Owego beat everyone!
I was born in Owego and lived there until 23 when I moved to Endicott but Owego still a part of me. I was just there over Easter to have dinner at the Treadway Inn! I love to go visit The Jailhouse Restaurant and dine inside their cells. I love Hickories Park in the summer when you can swing on the bench swing and look at the water below. I love all the shops on Lake Street where I used to ride my bike with my best friend and buy 50 cent earings at Van Horn Jewelers back in the 80’s. Oh, those were the days, and they still are now! The Strawberry Festival every June, the pumpkins at Jackson’s Pumpkin Farm and Iron Kettle and everything inbetween.
Owego has pride. Owego Free Academy was my school and the Indians rock! I’m so proud of everyone who stood up and voted for their community and said so many nice things. It’s because of you, we won! Congrats Owego!
