SARATOGA SPRINGS — Community members, skaters, artists, and families are invited to join in a day of art-making at the East Side Recreational Skatepark, from 9 – 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 20.

Beverages and snacks will be provided for the volunteers. Email ON DECK at This email address is being protected from spambots.
