Thanks to the kindness of a man with a tour bus, the four candidates took a cross-district trip today, meeting shoppers and residents in West Hurley, Woodstock, Olive and Shandaken, while somehow fitting in kids' Aikido, soccer and piano recitals. Everyone was especially impressed by the Town of Shandaken Historical Museum in Pine Hill, and its display of all the old village schools that no longer exist.
The candidates will be at the Arts Upstairs on Main Street in Phoenicia tonight for its monthly opening. There will be some special art on display and plenty food and drink.
Thanks to everyone who braved the rain last night to come to the fundraiser/meet the candidates event at Levon Helm's barn. (Below: Ann McGillicuddy speaking at the event.) We raised enough funds to see us through the last few days. Thanks especially to those who donated gifts to the Silent Auction, including Levon Helm, John Sebastian, Peter Yarrow, Martha Frankel, and Happy Traum.
