SSAS is hosting a group art show for members at the Clifton Park Halfmoon Public Library, “A” Gallery, Moe Rd, Clifton through Oct. 25. Twelve artists will display their works in mediums of oil, acrylic, pastels, mixed media, watercolor, acrylic on foil and colored pencils.  The subjects covered stretch from abstract expressionism to realistic landscapes and a lot in between.  Participating artists are Jack Morgan, Valerie Wolf, Kristine Kelly, Barbara Aldi, Karen Zimmers, Rita Helie, Roberta Moses, Joan Van Alphen, Carol Winterton, Diane Pollock, David Mayack and Barbara Buckly.  Come in and view the exciting show with the talented artists from Clifton Park and neighboring towns.

Saratoga County Stories
A major achievement for the History Center and the Roundtable, comprised of 58 short articles, the collection is a veritable who-what-where-when-and-why of Saratoga County history.  Contributing authors include familiar names of local historians, as well as many regional “history buffs.”  Two in-person events: Saturday, Oct, 23, 2-5 p.m. at Brookside Museum in Ballston Spa and Sunday, Nov. 7, 2-4 p.m. at Historic Grooms Tavern in Clifton Park.  The public will be able to meet contributing authors and the editorial team, purchase copies of the book, and have their editions signed.  For more information, or to pre-order books, go to brooksidemuseum.org or email Jim Richmond of the Saratoga County History Roundtable: saratogacohistoryroundtable@gmail.com.
