We enjoyed meeting dozens of our viewers who won tickets to our 200th Episode Celebration. It was wonderful to have them meet Richard, Gary, Mark, and Malio. We were also thrilled to have many of our sponsors at the event as well as the musicians who provide the music for the show. Dave Fox played the dulcimer and John Keller performed some of his songs that are often featured on the show. Even Lee Martin was there, the songwriter who wrote "Travling 'Round the Mohawk Valley" for us. We were also honored to have some of the local historians who make us look like we know what we're talking about when we visit the many communities in our area! We also thank Isidoro Marra and the staff at Villa Isidoro for an unforgettable afternoon. We thank all of them and all our viewers for making the show possible. Please be sure to enter the drawing for door prizes!
Thank you, Lance and Sharry

Scenes from our 200th Episode Celebration at Villa Isidoro
The Adirondack Spirit of Giving
Knitters from the Old Forge area, including members of the Pointed Pine Quilters, have knitted hundreds of hats and mittens to keep needy children in the Utica area warm this winter. Old Forge Hardware is the drop-off point and also donates yarn to knitters. Volunteers of the annual Clothe-a-Child project met at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish and matched up hundreds of coats, hats and mittens, preparing them for distribution to needy children in the Utica area.
The Christ Child Society is a national organization that is devoted to caring for needy children. The organization was founded in 1887 and has over 31 chapters throughout the United States.
