== Commerce == Commerce in Pulaski revolves heavily around fishing tourism. It is located on the [[Salmon River (New York)|Salmon River]], which is named for the [[salmon]] which return to the river each fall during the [[salmon run]]. The area is a major draw for sportfishing, as is [[Lake Ontario]], the shore of which is three miles to the west of the village. The fishing season culminates in the fall with the Salmon River Festival, held each year at the site of the farmers' market. In addition to the massive influx of visitors to the area they also bring an increase in tourism revenue for the area. In the article "There's Nothing Fishy About the Salmon Industry" written in 1987, the mayor at the time Dan Briggs is quoted saying "Our community cash flow ranges between $3 to $5 million a year just in the village because of salmon season".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://webaccess.psu.edu/?cosign-scripts.libraries.psu.edu&https://scripts.libraries.psu.edu/scripts/ezproxyauth.php?url=ezp.2aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWFyY2gucHJvcXVlc3QuY29tL2RvY3ZpZXcvMjE5Mjk5MjcyP2FjY291bnRpZD0xMzE1OCZwcS1vcmlnc2l0ZT1zdW1tb24-|title=Penn State WebAccess Secure Login|website=webaccess.psu.edu|access-date=October 14, 2019}}</ref> Since then it is likely that that price has only gone up in relation to economic growth in the past 32 years. This has tremendous impact on all of the local businesses as they thrive on the salmon fever. Fishermen and women can find a fishing report<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.douglastonsalmonrun.com/Fishing-Report.aspx|title = Project Healing Waters Comes to the DSR}}</ref> to get a good idea the best time is to hit the steams. Pulaski is also located on an extensive snowmobile trail system which connects to other trail systems throughout central and northern New York. This results in a growing amount of winter tourism as the trail system grows in reputation; this is helped by the reliable snowfall in the area, particularly throughout the Tug Hill region. Summer tourism is also strong in the Pulaski area because of its proximity to Lake Ontario and its numerous seasonal activities which include white water rafting, residences, parks, and resorts where thousands of people around NY camp every year. However, the town lost some of its touristic luster with the loss of their 'Ringgold Fireman's Field Days' that occurred annually on the first weekend of August.
