The Village of Scotia celebrated its newest millionaire Ben Barta. Benny scratched off a lottery ticket earlier this week at a local Stewarts shop and became the instant winner of 5 million dollars.

After 25 years with the Town of Glenville Highway Department, Benny has decided to take early retirement. What a surprise! After taxes our winner will receive $165,000 each year for 20 years.

Who would have thunk it? Little Benny Barta as he was in kindergarten.

Now that the weather has improved the Canadian Geese have returned to Collins Park. Tyler LaFreniere enjoys his walk in the park with the geese.

As we mentioned last week plans are now being made for our 100th year birthday. Our first collectable is now available for $3.00 at Village Hall and participating businesses.

VisitScotia.com is your guide to information and photos available on the Internet for the Village of Scotia, NY. Our goal is to promote our town and provide a one stop online location that consolidates content into an easy to use format.

While our Scotia may not be an international tourist destination our residents and shop owners take great pride in what Scotia has to offer.

Tree lined streets, award winning schools, playgrounds, fine dining and large parks make Scotia a wonderful place for a peaceful retirement or to raise a new family.
