Travel the world with Sports Illustrated

It could be you in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue.

Do you love to travel?  Then you may want to send your photo to Sports Illustrated.  The magazine is selecting a rookie for its 2021 Swimsuit issue, and it’s seeking women of all ages and of all different body types to enter the competition.  This open casting call will select one lucky winner, over the course of the next few months, who will travel to an exotic location, for the purposes of being photographed for the next Swimsuit Issue.  You’re asked to send a photo and 60-second video, showing yourself “feeling good,” whether it’s volunteering, exercising, spending time with family and friends or relaxing on the beach. For this initiative, Sports Illustrated has partnered with Vita Coco, the world’s leading coconut water brand. Contestants can also create their own profile pages to share with the SI editorial team. 

So what are you waiting for?

The Cider Mill rules

It’s apple season and that means not only pies and other baked goods but cider. Thompson’s Cider Mill — owned by Geoff Thompson of the public relations firm Thompson & Bender — had its most successful opening day ever with customers flocking to two locations this year. Due to the need for additional space to meet social distancing requirements, the Cider Mill, at 335 Blinn Road in Croton-on-Hudson, has shifted part of its operations to Fable Farm on Kitchawan Road (Route 134) in Ossining. “The shift of our fresh cider, apples and baked goods sales to our second location a mile away at Fable Farm on Route 134 proved very successful and enabled us to maintain social distancing protocols at the Cider Mill, where we are offering our hard ciders only,’’ Thompson said. “(Sept. 19 and 20) was our biggest opening weekend in 44 seasons, helped by ideal, clear, crisp early fall weather.” The Cider Mill will continue operations 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends at Fable Farm for sales of apples, fresh-pressed apple cider, cider doughnuts and other baked goods, while the mill’s award-winning hard ciders — Heirloom Blend Dry; Antique Apple Blend Semi-Dry; Apple-Raspberry Semi-Dry; and Apple-Blueberry Semi-Dry — are being sold from noon to 5:30 p.m. weekends through Dec. 20 at the mill itself. (The hard ciders can also be ordered year-round, along with the Blossom White dry apple wine.)
