Hoosick Falls Theater: A Strained Two Mrs Carrolls
Hoosick Falls Little Theater Group presented The Two Mrs Carrolls with uneven results. Cast weaknesses in blocking and line delivery undercut suspense, though Price Milam and Ellie Fink delivered strong performances. The production suffered from weak direction with excessive stage business, while the set and donated props stood out amid overall mixed reception.

Sled Dogs Draw Crowds At Mt. Snow Base Lodge
At Mt Snow Base Lodge in West Dover Vermont sled dogs draw visitors as Roland Bowles demonstrates teams of Siberian Huskies and other breeds harnessed to a 150 pound sled. Bowles has about 30 pedigreed dogs including four Novya Zembyas and an Alaskan Eskimo with pups in training. The dogs pull with instinct and training, offering half mile rides for Mount Snow visitors on weekends. Bowles notes his kennel humorously hosts a brook running through it and emphasizes care and selective use of each dog.
