Lightning, The Diving Horse

Pat and I had a craft show at Schroon Lake on Saturday. It was an excellent day for sales since we listened to our customers last year and brought plenty of Schroon Lake and Paradox Lake postcards this year. Schroon Lake is much more of a 2nd vacation home lake than Lake George. We found real pride in the area in the visitors to our booth. We met the owner of the Wood's Lodge and the owner of the Tera Alta. The booth next to us was a no show, so we were able to setup the old tent and have some shade.

On Saturday, we met Pat's cousin Mark and his wife Chrissy and their two girls, Isabelle and Elizabeth, at the Magic Forest which Pat has always wanted to take me to, but we never had any small kids to act as cover for our inner children. They have a really old Disney display of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs which is very old timey being all cast figures with motorized motion, all little kids rides many of which adults are allowed to accompany the small ones, a juggling act with a most excellent Devil Sticks demonstration, a magic act that will bore the smallest children, but that Isabelle got to volunteer in, and, the best act, the Diving Horse! Not without controversy from Animal Rights activists, but as a former horse owner, I thought the horse seemed to enjoy the swim both times we watched.
