Rural New York community offers first postmark of season

Postmark Pursuit by Molly Goad

The first holiday-themed postmark of the year made its debut in the Nov. 14, 2024, issue of the United States Postal Service’s Postal Bulletin. This festive “Holiday Station” postmark comes from Leeds, N.Y., a hamlet nestled in Greene County within the town of Catskill.

The design highlights the Postal Service’s role in delivering holiday cheer, featuring a USPS delivery truck crossing a stone bridge, framed by a festive border of holly leaves and berries.

Leeds, known for its scenic landscapes and close proximity to the Catskill Mountains, offers a blend of natural beauty and historic charm. With its quaint, small-town feel, historic architecture, and location in the culturally rich Hudson River Valley, Leeds is an ideal destination for history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

To obtain the postmark, address your request to:

THE HOLIDAY Station, Postmaster, 1155 Main St., Leeds, NY 12451-9998, Nov. 24-Dec. 24.

Share information by writing to Postmark Pursuit, Box 4129, Sidney, OH 45365.
