SAT MARCH 14 A POCKET CHATAUQUA at the 4 CORNERS SCHOOL 7-9pm • $10 adults $5 kids Directions. Series Description. Contact us for reservations, questions, etc.

(Message from Tim.) We continue our series at the Four Corners Schoolhouse with a St. Patrick's Day special, on Saturday March 14. Seven to nine, with an intermission. Expect: the Irish legend of a saint raised by wolves We won't have time for all this, but we're working stuff up & you're apt to hear a first taste of The Brown Haired Boy (This Irish wonder tale is our big piece for the summer. We learned it once, put it down, and now we're going to make it sing.) Little Redcap (Saranac Lake resident Sara Cleveland heard this from her Irish grandmother. I heard Ms. Cleveland tell it in 1970 and it put me on this road.) Tne Irish Jubilee (traditional recitation we collected from Andy Naughton's father) Music, as usual Young Irish stepdancers, our first guest artists a bit of magic is possible warm brownies are guaranteed. Our first show, on Valentine's day, went very well, filled near to capacity with (a) the smell of baking, and (b) a great mix of ages: children, young singles, parents and grandparents. If we can keep it going like this we'll be very happy indeed. (That's unlikely, it's the way of the universe for things to get bigger and/or smaller, but -- like the young woman who married a bear-- we'll be happy anyway.) The room seats fifty. Reservations are recommended for our mutual peace of mind. Contact information
