ClintonHonda1 ClintonHonda2Back-to-School season is upon us, and what better way to start the school year than with a brand new Honda? We might be little bit biased, but we’ve got KBB to back us up! Kelley Blue Book’s annual 10 Best Back-to-School Cars list has been released, and it features not one, not two, but THREE Honda vehicles! The list, which evaluates models to determine which has the best balance of fun, safety, and affordability for families and students. As any parent of a teenager already knows, it’s hard to agree on what is considered a “good” vehicle. Parents tend to focus on safety, while teenagers are more focused on fun and style. Luckily for them, you don’t have to choose when you drive a Honda! The 2016 Honda HR-V clinched the fourth spot on the list, with the 2016 Honda Civic closely ahead at spot number three, and the 2016 Honda Fit claiming the top spot at number one! All three Honda winners are stylish, fun, and safe, with safety features like Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) Body Structure, LATCH System, Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, Vehicle Stability Assist™ with Traction Control, Hill Start Assist, and Anti-Lock Braking System!Stop by D’ELLA Honda of Glens Falls to test drive these three back-to-school vehicles or any other Honda vehicles on our lot!"10 Best Back-to-School Cars 2016 - Kelley Blue Book."

Activities To Get You In The Spirit

The Christmas holiday is less than two weeks away. If you’re scrambling for some family-friendly activities to get you in the spirit, we have a few suggestions for you below. Some of these activities you’ll have to drive to so why not do so in a new Honda from D’ELLA Honda of Glens Falls! Find the Lights - Whether you take a trip down to NYC to see the tree in Rockefeller Center or just walk around your neighborhood to see what your friends came up with for their front lawn, it’s not Christmas until you see some lights! Build a Snowman - There’s still the potential for a snowstorm between now and Christmas. Make sure you get outside and build a Frosty of your own to greet any holiday guests if any of the white stuff sticks. Go Caroling - Door to door caroling seems to be a fading activity. Go with a group of friends or family members. Even if the people you sing for don’t celebrate Christmas they’ll probably love the gesture anyway. Go on a Sleigh Ride - We don’t mean sledding here. This is all about going on a real sleigh ride with horses and a man in a top hat! Check this website for places that offer this forgotten experience. Visit the North Pole - Not the actual North Pole, but North Pole, NY. This small town is also home to, you guessed it, Santa's Workshop, a themed amusement park. Take the Polar Express - Several of the railroads in the state have fun Christmas/Winter-themed train rides throughout the season. The Saratoga & North Creek Railroad has a Polar Express-themed ride that is very popular. Learn more here. Watch a Parade - Almost every town or city in New York has a Christmas parade. It might not be on Christmas but whenever and wherever it takes place it’s sure to put a smile on your face. Go Ice Skating - It might not be quite cold enough yet to go ice skating outside but there are plenty of indoor ice rinks in the area where you can practice your triple axel or salchow. Volunteer - Nothing warms the heart like giving back this season. Volunteer at your church, local food pantry, school, or favorite organization to help community members in need this winter.

Haunted Places in the Capital Region and Beyond

In conjunction with last week’s blog about fun fall activities, today we’re bringing you a list of some actual haunted places in the area. Visit at your own risk! Vale Cemetery — Schenectady, N.Y. — This 150-year-old cemetery allegedly has ghostly figures that wander grave sites, sounds of singing in an old church on the grounds, and even statues that bleed from their eyes. Canfield Casino in Congress Park — Saratoga Springs, N.Y. — Established in the late 1800s, the Casino is now a popular wedding and event venue. You might have some unexpected guests though! SyFy's "Ghost Hunters” series even investigated the former Congress Spring Bottling Plant and Congress Hall. Fort William Henry Museum — Lake George, N.Y. — Another location that was investigated by the "Ghost Hunters” crew, this military fort gives tours throughout the month telling stories about victims of the French and Indian War. The Knox Mansion — Johnstown, N.Y. — This 42-room house built in 1889 is said to be home to a spirit of a gardener who only appears to children. Typical experiences at the Knox Mansion include mysterious footsteps, cold spots, flickering lights, and spooky voices. Herbert, Geoff.
