In Cooperstown Today

If you're in downtown Cooperstown over the next hour, you may see this crew from Opposable Thumbs, a San Diego based marketing agency, creating footage for a TV ad campaign planned by Mavis Discount Tire.

The spot begins with a dad, mom, son and daughter coming out of Cooperstown Bat Co. onto the Main Street sideway. This afternoon, the crew, which is based in New York City, planned to shoot additional footage at the Stokes Farm on Pink Street, Town of Middlefield.
