Here’s some of what’s going on around the Capital District: First: a Clifton Park girl’s charity, Hannah’s Hope Fund, is currently in 2nd place for winning $25K from Pepsi. The money would go toward treatment for a fatal disorder called Giant Axonal Neuropathy.  You can support Hannah’s Hope Fund by voting here. Local bloggers … [Read more…]
Phew! We went and saw the Ellen Sinopoli Dance Co. at Freedom Park, then found Mary sitting on her front porch and chatted with her, so the kids weren’t in bed (and therefore I hadn’t started this post) until 9:45 pm. Put it together while watching the Emmys, except that I missed all the fun … [Read more…]
On my hunt for events this weekend, I found another $5 off coupon for Water Slide World in today’s Gazette. Poking around the internet for special events, I noticed a For the Love of Dance 10-week program at the National Museum of Dance designed to offer 2- to 5-year-olds a smorgasbord of dancing experiences. Here’s … [Read more…]
I’ve been receiving emails about fall classes, so I thought that I’d share a few: Yoga with Cathy: this instructor has some serious groupies, and she’s got classes for pregnant moms, parents & teensy babies, toddlers, and more. Music Box Arts: these Music Together class begin later in September, but there are free demo classes … [Read more…]
Okay, my parents are visiting and we’re meeting cute W in downtown Albany for lunch tomorrow, but any suggestions on what else we should do? Went to State Museum with them last time, Albany Institute & Albany Art Room are closed on Mondays, too wet & chilly for outdoor fun, don’t want to stray too … [Read more…]
My final Lake Placid report includes what I’d consider to be our least successful day. For me, there’s a ratio that I have in my head regarding any outings. Well, that’s not true: I just thought of it. But it’s informally lodged in my subconscious, I guess, and it goes something like this: Kid Enjoyment … [Read more…]
Okay, collecting events today made me a little wistful. . . summer programs are winding down. Here’s what I’ve found: All Weekend: The Altamont Fair continues, but Sunday is the last day. The Wiz is playing on Friday and Saturday night at 7 pm at Freedom Park in Scotia. The Valleycats are playing baseball every … [Read more…]
Here’s what’s going on this week: All Week: The Altamont Fair begins on the 17th and continues to the 22nd. This is a big deal, and very fun. Most branches of the Albany Public Library are having an end-of-summer celebration either this week or next week. Monday, August 16th: It’s Western Day at the Children’s … [Read more…]
I’ll have a week’s schedule out tomorrow. I can’t do it tonight. Perhaps I can play upon your sympathy? I went and visited two of my sisters this weekend. This sisterly-bonding trip was not as relaxing as it might sound. I’m not going into it. Well, if you run into me personally and ask, I’ll … [Read more…]
I keep forgetting to add it to the weekend post, but a friend recently took her young kids to the Double M Western Store Rodeo in Ballston Spa, and she said it was “a blast”. It’s on Friday and Saturday nights at 8 pm until September 3rd. They’ve got pony rides, clowns, and barrel riding … [Read more…]
