Once again, the Saugerties Art Lab (a great volunteer
organization that encourages children and our community
to appreciate art, music and interdisciplinary
learning experiences) will assist children with pumpkin
decorating and other fun activities at the Chidren’s Craft
Tent. They will be supported by volunteers from the Key
Club and from the community. Additionally, members
of the Saugerties Teachers Association will display their
talents at face painting.
Local children’s bookseller, Barefoot Storyland, will be
selling Barefoot Books, Putumayo Kids Music, Folkmanis
Puppets and Mudpuppy Press Puzzles. Story Time will
also be conducted twice daily at the Barefoot Storyland
booth. Barefoot Storyland will also be handing out garlic
recipes.
Another local business, Busybeedz Jewely-Making Classes
and Parties, will be offering children’s jewelry/craft-making
materials for sale, and will assist children with their glass
bead creations, including, of course, garlic beads.
For older children, for a nominal fee, we will have
the following available:
- A Climbing Wall, from Climb Time, Inc. This is one of the
first portable rock climbing walls in upstate, NY. It provides an
easy, fun and safe way to experience the excitement and challenge
of rock climbing. The wall (see photo on the right) stands 24 feet
high and provides 4 different climbing routes, of varying difficulty.
It is appropriate for climbers from 3 to 81 years old.
The wall provides dual, built-in safety measures to automatically
lower the climbers slowly and safely to the ground. For more information,
check out their Web site at www.itsclimbtime.com
