Trestle’s first calendar, created for Newburgh’s 150th Commemoration of the City Charter, designed with local photos taken by photographers, as part of Trestle Inc.’s photo-a-day project. These made beautiful gifts, and were on order through January 2016 for $20.00 each.
“A Step Back In Time: Celebrating Newburgh’s 150th Commemoration Of The City Charter”…people came out and celebrated the beginning of the holidays with us, as we stepped back in time…
The afternoon was celebrated with Jazz, Food, Photos & More, from 2:00-5:00 pm at the Meadowbrook Lodge, New Windsor, NY. Included was a special celebration of Newburgh in Photos through the eyes of Ralph Aiello and the stories Carl Aiello shared. As holiday spirits were enkindled, and the holiday season was brought in, we celebrated 150 years of Newburgh together!
As we stepped back in time… it was an afternoon full of holiday festivities, uplifting jazz that captivated dancing feet! People who attended stepped back in time & celebrated the the beginning of the holidays with us! It was an absolutely beautiful afternoon! Thank you.

There was a Call to Artists with 37 sidewalk sections available. Artists were asked to find a way to add a jack’o’lantern within their art painting; chalk was provided. Local restaurants had Halloween treats for the young ones and pumpkin beverages and refreshments available. The weather was absolutely beautiful, with sunshine and balmy temperatures.

Trestle Board Members, present with membership pins and brick order forms, were available to explain the brick project, talk about the stories and history of the bricks, answer questions about Trestle Inc., and share upcoming events.

Last year, Trestle Inc. sponsored Young Palettes Envision Illumination in collaboration with the Newburgh Enlarged City School District. Young Palettes (youth) created concepts of illumination in pieces of art; they were collected and hung in Downing Park during Newburgh Illuminated 2013. Selected pieces were framed and placed on display at the Newburgh Free Library. After raising sponsorships for funding, they will be turned into art panel banners and will hang in the City of Newburgh. In the meantime, look for exhibits of Young Palettes in local venues.
