The end of the fall season took a long time to truly finally happen, but no matter how you cut it, the week of Thanksgiving definitively means the fall outdoor ed season has ended and the winter outdoor ed season has begun. We bid a fond farewell to Patrick Duvall as our winter staff shrinks by one member every year, meaning one of our fall staff instructors has to go . This is one of the parts of my job I dislike the most, but it has to be done. Patrick was an incredibly valuable part of our fall staff; his vigor for oration, his love of learning and his passion for board games will be missed. We hope to have him back in the spring, but recognize that someone else would be well served to add him to their staff and, thusly, wish him the very best. At the very end of the fall season we also hosted an incredibly successful community event- Pie and the Sky. Folks came to our site, made their own pizzas, went out to build a scale model of the solar system while their pizzas were cooked for them and came back into the warm confines of the Pok-O-Queen to enjoy their culinary creations.
Also, as the mild temperatures have given us more time to focus on outdoor work projects as the fall has crept into December, and this year we reached our goal of 3 cleanings of our Adopt-A-Highway section of road south of Willsboro. It was an incredibly satisfying feeling to get this done, making a contribution to our community. Thats all for now. Pray for snow!
