This week, we’re diving into everything buzzing around Saratoga—from the glitz of a local film set (Jessie has stories!) to the growing excitement around the Fourth of July Racing Festival and the jam-packed calendar of summer events. We’re talking big names and big moves—like the NYC Ballet’s return to SPAC, Shania Twain’s generous surprise for a local food bank, and the pop culture chatter lighting up town (Jonas Brothers, anyone?). Plus, we get into the great Benson Boone debate, Anna Wintour's iconic exit, and… the ultimate showdown: best ice cream in Saratoga. (Dairy Haus, Humpty Dumpty’s, or Farmer’s Daughter—who wins?) With the Saratoga County Fair just around the corner, we're also reliving our favorite rides and deep-fried indulgences. Tune in for the laughs, the scoop, and a little birthday wish-casting—will the Jonas Brothers show up for Jessie’s big day?
