This is a pretty remarkable time for Saratoga - it's the midpoint of the summer season, always a busy time, but we also seem to be a refreshing oasis in the midst of an economic drought. Saratoga Race Course attendance is up, hotels are reporting high occupancy, the downtown Broadway streets are hopping, restaurants are full, and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center is welcoming large crowds for concerts and the Philadelphia Orchestra's summer season. Saratoga seems to be a place where you can escape the dreary economic news elsewhere and come to a place that just feels right!
