The December Holiday Festival with tree lighting, horse-drawn wagon rides, visit with Santa Claus for the kids, carolers, and treats and refreshments in the Sugar Loaf United Methodist Church, all at no cost to participants. Planters and pole banners, which are now decorating our main street and celebrating our culture, sponsored by the Community Vision Committee.  Since 2002 the SLCF Vision Committee has worked to address infrastructure and zoning issues in the hamlet and created a preliminary master plan with the help of SUNY Albany.
