Come and celebrate Auburn's First Founders Day Celebration with a special tribute to the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Statehood of Alaska. This Saturday, June 6th, the parade begins at 11 a.m.....

That's right, Auburn is the home of Secretary of State, William H. Seward, whose insight caused the USA to buy Alaska from Russia in 1867. Labeled at the time as "Seward's Folly", today we consider his insight as foresight.

Anyway, this Saturday, Auburn is celebrating with a parade at 11 a.m. and special activities including balloon art, book signings, woodsmen competition, dog sled demos, a William Seward Play and Theodore Case Film Festival, arts and craftes , food, and more, more, more!!!!!

And the Special Guest for the day will be Alaska's governor, Sarah Palin.

So, if you're wondering what to do, come and visit Auburn, NY. Situated in the heart of the beautiful Fingerlakes and home to William H. Seward!!!

Homeowners, who think it is normal for their dryer to take more than one cycle to dry clothes, think again. Lint accumulation or blockage in the vent is a known cause of dryers running inefficiently.

While consumers are aware of the need to conserve energy, they are still unaware that yearly dryer and dryer vent maintenance can help cut energy bills as well as prevent dryer fires. The average home spends about $1900 on energy costs every year, according to research conducted by Energy Star, a program managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with assistance from the U.S. Department of Energy.

As energy costs increase, consumers need to be made aware of the importance of proper cleaning and maintenance of all their appliances. Here are some tips for maintaining the clothes dryer for energy savings and fire prevention:

• Be sure that dryer vent systems are up to code with city, state and manufacturer.
• Have dryer vents professionally cleaned and inspected annually
• Clean lint traps before and after drying a load.
• Dry loads of similar type and weight of fabric together. Lower dryer temperatures may be used for certain clothes.
• Keep the clothes dryer outside exhaust clean. A clogged exhaust lengthens drying time.

"Consumers who follow these guidelines will find their clothes dryer takes less time to dry clothes saving time, money and extending the life of their clothes," says Stevenson.

In addition, to conserving energy, dryer manufacturers, the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), advise annual dryer and dryer vent maintenance to prevent dryer fires, a leading cause of homes fires in the U.S.

This article was written by John Stevenson, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Upstate NY, http://www.dryerventwizard.com which specializes in dryer vent cleaning, replacing vents made of flammable material, repairing and altering vents for residential and commercial clients. While cleaning out a vent recently at Erie Village, Stevenson found the cause for the customer's dryer taking longer than it should to dry. There was a bird's nest that had been built in the vent line, even though it had a critter guard at the vent cover.

Auburn Sherlock Homes Real Estate is located in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of central New York. We are in the center of the Auburn business district making a short drive to any of the outlying areas.

For those not in the "know", Auburn is at the north end of Owasco Lake and only 10 minutes from Cayuga Lake to the west and Skaneateles Lake to the east and 45 minutes from Lake Ontario to the north and from Ithaca (home of the Big Red) to the south. Our region is an outdoor paradise. National Parks, bird sanctuaries, activiites such as boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, and skating are a hop, skip and a jump away.

Like history???, we have the Seward house, Cayuga Museum (home of the talking pictures), and the Harriet Tubman home in Auburn alone. And, not to be underestimated, our area features terrific restaurants and of course the Cayuga-Seneca wine trail.......talk about things to do.....

Well, here we are in beautiful central New York...School is out, the weather is gorgeous.....thoughts are turning to those summer activities....fireworks at the lake on the fourth, county fairs, summer concerts, backyard get togethers and all the other great things to do.....Wow!!! But, keep in mind its still a great time to buy a home......interest rates are good and there's a nice inventory of properties available. So, if you're looking to buy, give me a call and you could be in your new home by fall.
