Conquering the Cobble . . . .  In A Costume! 

<>

Each year the race has more & more costume-clad runners.  We always encourage runners to wear a costume!  If your “not so blistering pace” isn’t fast enough to land you a spot on the podium, your creativity just may be the ticket.  In celebration of our 42nd running, we will recognize the Top Five creative costume-clad runners at our Awards Ceremonyimmediately after the race.  Gift certificates, courtesy of local merchants, will be awarded.  (In the event of rain/inclement weather, the Awards Ceremony will take place inside the Registration Building on the Kent Green.)  

Help Support the Kent Food Bank and Julia’s Wings Foundation

We encourage all participants and spectators to bring non-perishable donations to support the great work of our Official Charitable Beneficiary, The Kent Food Bank, as they prepare for their busiest time of year.   Donations can be dropped off at the Davis IGA during Race Week  ~ or at the start/finish area on Race Day.

We also encourage you to support Team Julia’s Wings.  The Julia’s Wings Foundation, a non-profit organization, was founded by The Malsin Family after their daughter Julia, passed away from aplastic anemia in Jan 2012. Julia was only 13 years old. The Julia’s Wings Foundation mission is two-fold. The first emphasis is on carrying out Julia’s Wish with the goal of providing financial assistance to families of children with aplastic anemia so they don’t have to suffer through their disease alone.  Click here for more info on this wonderful organization.

Thank You for your generous support!

The Wander Society’s Adventure Lab

Saturday, July 14 – December 1, 2018

The Wander Society is a secretive underground organization that believes in the intrinsic power of wandering to transcend the problems of modern society, access a higher plane of consciousness, and participate in direct experiences of life. The Wander Society’s Adventure Lab, is a mobile unit that functions as a secret portal into the operations and activities of the underground organization. Designed as a space to facilitate exploration the lab is replete with various wandering tools, images, a random assignment machine, and a wandering library.

In the 1860s when the Churches were traveling by caravan through remote areas of the Middle East, Isabel Church said she was “fascinated with tent life.”* They also tented in New York’s Adirondack Mountains, Maine, and on many of Frederic Church’s other remote painting expeditions. The family’s library is filled with tales from adventurers, travel books, and particularly William Prime’s Tent Life in the Holy Land. Installed in parallel with this season’s exhibition, Costume & Custom: Middle Eastern Threads at Olana, conceptual artist and New York Times’ best-selling author Keri Smith created the Adventure Lab and pays homage to the 19th century tenting adventures while layering the past with contemporary participatory adventures for visitors to Olana. Designed for all ages, come explore the lab, and make your own adventures.

Location: Near Frederic Church’s old studio location on the exit road  | Open Tuesday-Sunday, 9am – 5pm  |  All Ages  |  Free

*Isabel Church, Diary of Isabel Church, Jerusalem, March 28, 1868, Photostatic copies (negatives) made by the New-York Historical Society from originals owned by the artist’s granddaughter, Mrs. Richard C. Burroughs (Isabel Black) of Richmond, Virginia, 48-49

Keri Smith’s book, The Wander Society, is for sale at The Olana Museum Store and online!

I believe that I can put my experience to work for the people of the Northwest Corner. I have extensive experience in management and finance in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, expertise I can apply to helping solve the state’s budget crisis while protecting what is essential for us in the Northwest Corner: an ability to support our residents and attract new families with services that help them thrive and grow. My experience as a former federal prosecutor, a chair of nonprofit boards, and a mother has reinforced in me a faith in idealism, collaboration, and action. I know it is individuals and communities who make a difference, and solutions are found in partnerships and compromise. Together we are stronger.

Edward Albee’s Occupant, Dewey Hall In Sheffield October 20th

Aglet Theatre Company was founded in 2005 offering performances at Chaiwalla Tea house in Salisbury, Connecticut. A year and half later, after outgrowing the restaurant, Aglet was invited to work at the Bok Gallery at TriArts’ Sharon Playhouse, Sharon, Connecticut. 2009 saw an additional performing venue: the Unicorn Theatre at Berkshire Theatre Festival, Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Currently Aglet performs at Dewey Memorial Hall, Sheffield, Massachusetts, and The Moviehouse in Millerton, New York.

Aglet specializes in staged readings of new and seldom-performed plays (See the Archive page). Doors open a half-hour before curtain, when patrons may enjoy complimentary refreshments; an insightful and lively discussion follows each performance.
