Step Into Fall Feeling Better: How Proper Foot Support Can Make a Difference

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Featured.

As summer winds down and schedules start filling back up, many of us find ourselves spending more time on our feet. Whether it’s heading back to work, getting the kids ready for school, enjoying the final weeks of summer, or simply staying active, foot comfort can have an impact on how we move through the day.

That’s where The Good Feet Store comes in.

With locations in Clifton Park and Colonie Center, The Good Feet Store helps customers explore personalized arch support solutions designed around their feet, shoes and daily activities.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, customers can visit the store for a personalized fitting and learn more about the different types of arch supports available.

For someone who spends long hours standing at work, an active golfer or walker, or someone simply looking for more support throughout the day, finding the right fit can be an important part of staying comfortable and active.

The experience starts with taking the time to understand each customer’s individual needs. From there, a Good Feet specialist can help identify options that work with different shoes and activities.

And with a newer location now serving the Clifton Park community, local residents don’t have to travel far to learn more.

As fall approaches, it may be a good time to think about something we often overlook: our feet carry us everywhere. Taking care of them can be an important part of keeping ourselves moving.

Stop into The Good Feet Store in Clifton Park or Colonie Center to learn more and experience a personalized fitting.

The next session in the Kindred Spirit Music Series will be hosted by Cosby Gibson and Tom Staudle on Monday, Aug 31 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Saratoga Arts. This event is free and open to the public.

The Kindred Spirit Music Series is held on the last Monday of each month presented by Our Lodge Foundation, which supports the Saratoga Springs community through cultural, educational, civic, and charitable programs. Each month’s themed session includes music to reflect on, songs performed by regional musicians, and sing-alongs of familiar pieces that have helped us overcome as well as remember the joy of simply being.

Saratoga Springs History Museum Announces Second Annual Spirited Evening at the Historic Canfield Casino

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Entertainment.

The Saratoga Springs History Museum invites the community to experience an extraordinary evening of history, mystery, and paranormal exploration at the Second Annual Spirited Evening: A Paranormal Experience at the Historic Canfield Casino, taking place Thursday, November 12, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m.

Held inside one of Saratoga Springs’ most iconic historic landmarks, Spirited Evening brings together perspectives on the paranormal, an interactive investigation, dinner, and a silent auction—all while raising important funds to support the Saratoga Springs History Museum.

For more than 150 years, the Canfield Casino has witnessed fortunes won and lost, elegant celebrations, quiet griefs, and generations of everyday human life. Its remarkable history has long-inspired stories, questions, and curiosity about what may remain within its walls.

This year’s Spirited Evening will feature keynote speaker Kelly M. Ballard, a fourth-generation Intuitive Medium with more than 25 years of experience working with Spirit.

Ballard’s keynote, “The Spirited Canfield Casino: A Medium’s Perspective on Ghosts, Spirits, and the Energy That Remains,” will explore what ghosts and Spirits may be, why energy can linger within historic locations, and what it can mean to understand—rather than fear—the activity that people have reported experiencing in places like the Canfield Casino.

As Saratoga Springs begins looking toward the fall season, the Museum encourages guests to reserve their places early for this special annual event. General Admission tickets are $150, with special Museum Member tickets available for $140.

Proceeds from the event support the Museum’s ongoing educational projects, materials, programs, exhibitions, and events, helping the Museum continue its work preserving and sharing the remarkable history of Saratoga Springs.

Something Evil is Coming to the Malta Drive-In Theatre

Saratoga Arts Presents: In This Moment

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Entertainment.

Improvisational Group “In This Moment (Courtesy of Mark Kleinhaut)

Saratoga Arts is hosting a night of improvisational music inspired by poetry that explores autumnal transformation, moments of reflection, and the enduring strength of hope and community on Friday, September 25 starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door available at eventbrite.com.

Poems drawn from the works of Fenton Johnson, Walt Whitman, Sara Teasdale, and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, will evoke musical performances from an ensemble of master musicians known as “In This Moment.” Poetry is their springboard for improvised music that is natural, effortless, and willing to ride the freely flowing currents of spontaneity without set arrangements, roadmaps or conventional song forms.

Poetry will be read by Kristina Kulin, and will feature musical performances by Shiri Zorn, Mark Kleinhaut, Ed Green and Brian Melick.

Kulin has explored the art of performance as a dancer, actress, singer, public speaker, and musician. She is the founder and creative director of Lit Night, a series of literature appreciation events which she curates around a different theme each month.

Zorn is an innovative jazz vocalist whose fresh and intercultural sound reinvents the standard jazz repertoire as we know it. She layers American Songbook tunes with Middle Eastern influences and unexpected time signatures.

Kleinhaut is a guitarist who focused this past decade almost entirely on improvised compositional performance in small group and solo formats.

Green, on cello, brings musical wisdom from a lifetime of experiences beginning as a trombonist in New York City big bands and the pits of Broadway theaters to being a first call bass player in the Capitol Region to the intimate voice of the cello where Ed now finds his passion and expression.

Melick has been professionally involved in music for over 50 years,the depth and breadth of his experience as a percussionist, performer and recording artist provides a near limitless palette of rhythms, textures and bending of time and space.

“We are a Constellation” Exhibit to Debut at Tang Museum

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Entertainment.

Mark Thomas Gibson, Reconstruction, 2025 (Courtesy of Mark Gibson Studio)

The Tang Museum at Skidmore College presents Mark Thomas Gibson: We Are a Constellation, a solo exhibition in which the Philadelphia-based American history painter connects recent American history with the responsibilities of citizenship today. It will be on view from August 22 through January 3, 2027.

A recurring figure in Gibson’s work is the Town Crier—a stand-in for the artist who rings a bell and delivers urgent announcements to fellow citizens. At the Tang, the Town Crier will move beyond Gibson’s pen and paper into the gallery. At 2 p.m. each day the gallery is open, a Skidmore student will enact the role of Town Crier and deliver two announcements: news from that date 250 years earlier and news from the present day. Together, the performances will create a record of this important year while asking how history is remembered, narrated, and made.

The centerpiece of the exhibition is a monumental, three-part American flag that debuted at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in 2025. Unfolding like the panels of a comic strip, the work features the flag transformed into choppy waves on one side and the Town Crier in the role of Paul Revere, sounding an alarm about threats to American democracy on the other. 

The exhibition takes its title from We Are a Constellation, a 2024 painting in the Tang collection that presents individual stars in the night sky connected to form an image of the United States. This symbolizes how we can be connected as citizens through voting.

“I’ve followed Mark’s work since Black Pulp!, the 2016 exhibition he co-curated with fellow artist William Villalongo,” said Ian Berry, Dayton Director and curator of the exhibition. “His art insists that history is neither distant nor settled, and I love that our students can become Town Criers each day, connecting news from the past with the events shaping our lives now. During the nation’s 250th anniversary and an election year, the exhibition asks us to be active, engaged citizens.”

U.S. News & World Report Ranks Schuylerville High School #2 in Albany Metro Area

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Education.

The U.S. News and World Report has released its 2026-2027 Best High Schools report, which includes data on nearly 18,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Schuylerville High School currently ranks top 10% percent in the state, and the top 5% in the region.

• Albany, NY metro area high schools: #2 (out of 49 high schools)

• State: #92 (out of 1,383 schools)

To calculate the rankings, U.S. News uses the following factors: college readiness, college curriculum breadth, state assessment proficiency, state assessment performance, graduation rate, and underserved student performance.

“We are incredibly proud to be ranked among the top high schools in New York State and second in the Albany metro area,” said Schuylerville High School Principal Stacy Marzullo. “These results speak to the strong academic programs and supportive learning environment we work to provide for every student. As I step into my new role as high school principal, I am incredibly honored to lead a school with such a strong foundation and look forward to building upon the success of our students, faculty and staff.”

$500,000 Gift from Julia O. Wells Foundation Creates Endowed Nursing Scholarship at Maria College

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Education.

Maria College has received a transformational $500,000 gift from the Julia O. Wells Memorial Education Foundation Inc. to establish the Julia O. Wells Memorial Education Foundation Endowed Scholarship Fund.

The endowed fund will provide annual scholarship support for students enrolled in Maria College’s nursing programs. Established in perpetuity, it will be administered through Maria College’s Office of Financial Aid and will benefit students for generations to come.  

“We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to carry forward the legacy of Julia O. Wells,” said Maria College President Dr. Lynn Ortale. “Our students embody her commitment to the nursing profession and service to our community. We are honored the foundation has entrusted the college with continuing this important work. The foundation board members’ leadership and stewardship have been marked by excellence and dedicated service.”

The gift builds on the Julia O. Wells Memorial Education Foundation Inc.’s longstanding commitment to advancing nursing education. Over the years, the foundation has awarded nearly $5 million in scholarships to high school and college students, enabling thousands of aspiring nurses to pursue their education.

“Today is a deeply meaningful moment for our board members and me,” said Kathleen B. Santarcangelo, president of the Julia O. Wells Memorial Education Foundation Inc. “For decades, our focus has been entirely on investing in nurses, who are the backbone of our healthcare system.

“While it’s time to close the chapter on the foundation itself, we are ensuring that Julia’s spirit and our commitment to ‘growing nurses’ will live on in perpetuity,” she continued. “We are placing Julia’s legacy into the hands of Maria College. We are thrilled to partner with the college to support the next generation of nurses. We look forward to the incredible impact these students will make in the nursing profession and in their communities.”

The foundation traces its roots to Julia O. Wells, a 1918 graduate of the Memorial Hospital Training School for Nurses in Albany. Wells spent her career as a nurse before establishing a lasting gift to support nursing education. Her generosity led to the creation of the Julia O. Wells Memorial Education Foundation, Inc.
