Good morning, Albany.

Today, Active Ingredient Brewing Company held a fundraiser in Malta where every sale of Amber Embers beer added a $2 donation to support both Malta Ridge and Round Lake fire departments — the campaign surpassed its $1,400 goal for each group.

The nearly year-long effort, inspired by firefighter Jeff Stack, raised almost $6,000 to help cover the high costs of equipment like fire trucks and gear.

At the Guilderland Farmers Market, families met pit bulls at an adoption event hosted by Out of the Pits—designed to change their tough image.

Foster coordinator Jen Dalton said the group is working after rescuing dogs from Oklahoma to find them loving homes.

A local brewery supported Malta volunteer firefighters by donating $2 for each pint of its Amber Embers beer.

The fundraiser exceeded its $1,400 goal for Malta Ridge and Round Lake Fire Departments and raised nearly $6,000 in total—helping cover costly equipment and supplies.

The Egg is closed for its first major renovation that began on July 1 and will cost $19.5 million; state officials say the venue will reopen next spring with new seating, lighting and improved accessibility—preserving its historic roots.
