FRIDAY APPLEBARN SERIES
STEVEN ENGELHART, SARAH WARD
FREE! / FRIDAY, JUNE 26 / 5 - 6PM / MAIN CAMPUS

Songs of the Adirondacks and Champlain Valley. At this gathering, musician and historian Steven Engelhart and harpist and music therapist Sarah Ward will sing a variety of songs that were collected across the region in the 1940s and 50s by Marjorie Lansing Porter (1891-1973) and tell the story of how this remarkable woman came to embrace and record the traditional songs sung by dozens of people - farmers, woodsmen, homemakers, and others - all learned through an age-old oral tradition.

Sarah Ward is the great great granddaughter of Marjorie Lansing Porter. Porter's family roots in the Champlain Valley go back to the 1790s. Her great-grandfather was newspaperman and abolitionist Wendall Lansing, and she was an editor, journalist, author, historian, and co-founder of the Adirondack History Center Museum in Elizabethtown. By the time Porter died in 1973, her collection of folk songs and other interviews, originally recorded on a SoundScriber machine, consisted of 456 recordings and more than 300 songs. One of her most important contributors was Lily Delorme of Saranac who shared more than 100 songs with her.

We are very excited to welcome our new Farm Store and Food Access Programs Manager, Leah Jaffe. Be sure to say hi to her next time you’re in the store.

Leah Jaffe (she/her) is Craigardan’s Farm Store and Food Access Programs Manager. Leah is originally from Washington County New York and attended the University of Vermont where she recieved a BA in geography and physics. She grew up on a small vegetable and chicken farm, where she gained a deep appreciation for local food and the work that goes into making it accessible, an interest that drew her to Craigardan. After graduating college she moved to the Adirondacks and has been here ever since, primarily working in the field of outdoor recreation. She strongly believes in promoting responsible recreation and that the outdoors are for everyone. Her love for the Adirondacks extends beyond the mountains and lakes; she values the strength of our local communities and is excited to be in a role serving those communities. Outside of work, Leah enjoys hiking, cross country skiing, knitting and crocheting, and doing all sorts of puzzles.

We are grateful that Leah has joined our staff and are excited for her to be a part of Craigardan!

FRIDAY APPLEBARN SERIES
ROSE ROBINSON, JACKIE MCKENNA

FREE! / FRIDAY, JUNE 12 / 5 - 6PM / MAIN CAMPUS

Rose Robinson is an artist working in ceramics and illustration. She investigates play as a path towards story, and story as a path towards meaning. Rose's work has been included in exhibitions at Gallery 263 in Cambridge, Mass.; Charlie Cummings Gallery in Gainesville, Fla.; and the University of Southern Mississippi Museum of Art, among others, and she has participated in residencies at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts in Edgecomb, Maine, and Fish Factory Creative Center in Stövarfjördur, Iceland.

Jackie McKenna is an outdoor educator who works with youth development programs. At university, he studied Environmental Science and Social Work while working with local organizations and community farms to increase the accessibility of produce in low-income areas. Through these organizations' youth programs and community workshops, Jackie realized his passion for educating, empowering others, and expanding access to natural areas. This led to him working for outdoor youth development programs where he instructs various outdoor activities such as skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, sea kayaking, snorkeling, and others.
