UNCLE JOSH PERFORMS AT HISTORICAL SALTSMAN'S HOTEL

Uncle Josh (AKA as my husband, Larry) was invited for the second year in a row, to perform at the Shine's annual dinner. Last year it was in St. Johnsville, NY. Those who don't know the character Uncle Josh, Larry (in charactor) tells humorus 100 yr old stories
that were told my Cal Stewart a century ago

The food was served family style and was exceptional.
In season they are noted for serving Milk Weed Greens and Elderberry pie.

A Bit of History:
Saltsman's Hotel, located at the Junction of Routes 67& 10, in the village of Ephratah, has offered unique country style dining for almost 200 years. Built in 1813, Saltsman's is one of the oldest restaurants in New York State. When it was first built, with a dance floor (known as Apollo Hall) on the upper level, Saltsman's Hotel served as a coach stop along this busy farming route. Five generations of Saltsman's operated the inn between 1889 and 1979 when Jim and Tammie Subik purchased the restaurant. The guest book in the front parlor bears the signature of President-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Other more recent notables who have dined at Saltsman's are Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, white house press correspondent Helen Thomas, philanthropist Owen D. Young and all the way from Japan, the president of Nippon Steel.
