Welcome to NYS Routes 5 & 20 – your link to the Finger Lakes Region and the Greater Niagara Region!

This 135-mile long corridor that traverses New York State from east to west is a visitor’s dream come true. Yes, Routes 5 and 20 has something for everyone – wine tasting, antique shops, historic sites, theme parks, four-season outdoor recreation, fine dining and lodging, scenic rural landscapes and quaint villages, festivals and theater, … And best of all you’ve gotten off the expressways to take a drive along an Authentic American Road. Don’t forget to stop for a root beer float, a drive-in movie or to just watch the wildlife.

The Skaneateles Merchants’ Association sponsor a quarterly fundraising effort for a local community organization.  In April, the Merchants will be raising money for SAVES - our local volunteer ambulance service.  SAVES will be moving into their brand new building on Fennell Street this month, but they need help landscaping the new property.  The money raised by the Merchants and you, will be used to that end.

How can you help?  When you shop at a local merchants’ business between April 21st and April 28th you can put your change in the specially designated box at any partipating merchants’ cash register.  Selected Merchants will also be giving you a discount on purchases if you make a donation in the box for SAVES.  Ask about it!!

BUY LOCAL - IT PAYS!
