Summer Mixer Recap
The Greater Delhi Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated the start of summer with its Summer Mixer Happy Hour on Tuesday, June 24th. Held in the charming courtyard at This & That, the event brought together local business owners, community leaders, and friends for an evening of connection, celebration, and appreciation.
Each quarter, the Chamber hosts a mixer to honor a standout business, event, or community leader with a Star Award. This summer, the spotlight was on Faiga Brussel, founder of Good Cheap Food. Established in 1976 as a small buying club, Faiga's store has since become a beloved Main Street institution in Delhi. Surrounded by friends, family, and admirers, Faiga received the Community Business Award in recognition of her decades of entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to the local community.
The Chamber also proudly presented Pellegrino Grant Awards to The Lost Bookshop and Ninth of June. These grants support visual and cosmetic improvements that enhance the beauty and appeal of the Greater Delhi Area.
This event marked the final mixer presided over by outgoing Chamber President Lisa Wisely, who is stepping down from the board to focus on her business and upcoming film projects. The Chamber also welcomed incoming President Jerry Pellegrino, who will continue to build on the Chamber's momentum and commitment to the Delhi business community.
With delicious food and cocktails by Matt Marchese, lively conversation, and perfect weather, the Summer Mixer was a tremendous success. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

A Message to the Community, Harvest Festival 2025
Message to the community as it relates to the Harvest Festival on Saturday, September 27, 2025
Dear Friends,
We at the Greater Delhi Area Chamber of Commerce are grateful for all the organizations, businesses and people who have participated in the Delhi Harvest Festival, which we organize every year to support growers and makers.
At our October 8, 2024 meeting, the Chamber Board voted (unanimously) in favor of adopting a policy that prohibits us from renting space to political organizations. This action was taken to bring consistency with the existing policy already applied at our weekly Farmer's Market and to uphold the intent of our annual event.
We recognize that the Harvest Festival has become an important day for public engagement. We encourage interested groups to continue to take advantage of the day's foot traffic by setting up in adjacent areas.
Thank you very much for your past participation and for understanding our policy.
Sincerely,
Lisa Wisely
President
Greater Delhi Area Chamber of Commerce

Map of Delhi Proposal
Jonah Shaw is working to create a detailed map of the parks and trails of Delhi. He's inviting support from both the community and local businesses to help bring this project to life. Learn more from his letter here:
May 19, 2025
Dear Delhi Business Owner,
Did you know that within a three-minute walk, visitors to Delhi can access over 15 parks or trails to relax, walk, or let kids and pets play? By encouraging visitors to linger in our village, we can boost local business. A clear, user-friendly map of nearby outdoor spaces is a simple way to keep visitors engaged and in town longer.
I’m proposing a 9” x 12” full-color map, folded to a 4” x 9” brochure, highlighting all parks and trails in the Village of Delhi, plus hiking trails within a 10-minute drive. The map will include a key noting features like parking, accessibility, restrooms, water features, trail difficulty, distance, benches, picnic tables, and winter availability. An accompanying website will provide detailed park and trail information, including business locators and direct links to sponsor websites.
The parks and trails identified so far include: Hoyt Park, The Ponds, Kingston Street Bridge Garden, Reservoir Park, Legion Park and Pool, Village Square, Woodland Cemetery, Elm Street Triangle, Franklin Street Triangle, Delaware Academy Trail, Federal Hill, SUNY Delhi Campus, Sheldon Park, Sherwoods Trail, Sherwoods Swimming Hole, Bramley Mountain Fire Tower, West Branch Nature Preserve, SUNY Delhi Outdoor Education Center, Spring Lake, Hamden Waterfall, Bloomville Rail Trail, and Bovina Creamery Trail. Marked fishing spots may also be included. If you know of other locations to add or features to highlight, please let me know!
To make this project a reality before summer, I’m seeking financial support. The total cost for 5,000 brochures—including printing, graphic design for the map and website, and web hosting—is approximately $3,000. Sponsorship levels are: $100 (Supporter), $250 (Sustaining Supporter) or $3,000 (we’ll name the map after you!). Your business will be listed on a sponsor panel. Sponsors will also be featured on the website with a direct link to your site. If we exceed our funding goal, surplus funds will support additional brochures or future printings. Of course you’ll get copies of the map to distribute.
Will you join us as a sponsor of the Village of Delhi Outdoor Map? Please make checks payable to Taste of the Catskills and mail to Good Cheap Food, 53 Main Street, Delhi, NY 13753. For questions or to confirm your sponsorship, contact me at jonah@tasteofthecatskills.com.
Thank you for supporting our community and local businesses!
Sincerely,
Jonah Shaw
Owner, Good Cheap Food
