FPG Moving Forward

Today hopefully marks, as many of us would hope, the last snow storm thrust upon us by father winter for this year. For as beautiful as Upstate New York is in the winter months I think it can be agreed that we would all settle for some warmer weather. Along with this change in the seasons we too have a few changes of our own here at Front Page Gloversville.

Our web site was created as a collaborative idea that we could shine a light on the many great businesses and events that Gloversville has to offer. We have and will continue to offer promotion in an effort to support this City.

In an effort to grow and offer a more extensive network of resources to the community we have included some external links in the left hand column. We have also recognized, as many others have before us, the great history that this city has to offer not only to the region but to the nation. Gloversville was once coined the "Glove Capital of the World" and we think that this could use some new found exposure.

We would like to honor that achievement and present it to future generations. At this time we are looking to create a pictorial history with corresponding descriptive text of Gloversville. Anyone willing to contribute is encouraged to contact us at FPGloversville@Gmail.com.

Experience a sense of adventure as you learn to work as a team to overcome some of the greatest challenges you will ever face in an ever changing environment. A Volunteer Fire Department is a group of individuals both male and female who understand the true sense of camaraderie.
