The Cure Porch on Wheels' Winter Carnival Debut!

2/15/2019

0 Comments

 
We were thrilled to unveil the Cure Porch on Wheels in Saturday's Winter Carnival Gala Parade. Our thanks to our friend and driver who makes it all possible, Earl Gardner. And thanks to the many friends, including some of our founding members of Historic Saranac Lake who joined in the fun, riding and marching as cave people -- Andy Rawdon, Sarah Clarkin, Sunita Halasz, Alison Riley-Clark, Amy Jones, Melissa and Aine Kline, Jim Meade, Marty Rowley and his young helpers: Lake, Djuna, and Amelia, Betsy Minehan, Natalie Leduc, Caroline Welsh, Mary Hotaling, Dot Fobare, and Chris Brescia.

Be on the lookout for the Cure Porch on Wheels in the coming year. Not only will we be using it as our oral history booth, we will also share it with the community for a variety of creative purposes -- an art studio, a stage set, a radio broadcasting booth, an exhibit space, a workshop, a classroom...? How will you use the porch?
