Jeanie Petersen
Jeanie Petersen is a freelance writer in Oxford, NY.
Jeanie (Campbell) Petersen grew up on the Eastern end of Long Island's south shore, but moved with her husband to a secluded wooded area of Chenango County, in Central NY, to raise their two children. She is married to web host and designer, Roy Petersen of Woollybear Web, and they collaborate when-ever possible.
An active board member of the Oxford Historical Society, Oxford Village Tree Board, Promote Oxford Now (PON), and 6 On The Square, Jeanie invests her available time to helping her community. Art, nature and the environment are subjects she also particularly favors. Petersen started the Recycled Holiday Ornament Contest, with the Holiday Decorating Committee as sponsor, for the primary school students.
Petersen has written articles on church suppers and fund raisers, (a horse-pull!), parades, quilt shows, American Legion dignitary visits, politician visits, performers, artists and guest speakers, award ceremonies, grand openings, and much more. Jeanie has developed a congenial relationship with several newspaper editors who publish her articles frequently.
