CLINTON, N.Y. — Hobby, toy, and game fans have a new option in Clinton with Friday’s formal opening of a HobbyTown franchise.
Located at 34 Chenango Ave., the HobbyTown store specializes in radio-control cars, boats, and planes; educational toys; models of all kinds; model railroads; slot cars; strategy and family games; and rockets. It also offers kites; microscopes; telescopes; unique gift items; and the paints, tools, and accessories needed for almost any hobby.
“We are thrilled to be opening a full-line hobby store in Clinton,” co-owner Kim Miller said in a release. “I grew up just north of the Clinton area, left to go to college and start a career, and now I’m returning home to the welcoming village of Clinton. It’s a dream come true.”
