The Paws-to-Read program provides children with the opportunity to practice reading aloud to a nonjudgmental audience – dogs! A child who may be hesitant to read to other kids or adults often finds it easier to share a story with man’s best friend. All Paws-to-Read pups are registered therapy dogs accompanied by trained handlers.
WHEN: Saturday, 4/2
TIME: Sessions at 9:00 and 9:30 am
FOR: Kids of all ages!
Space is limited for this program. Please call 518-794-8844 to register.

I’ve heard from several life-long residents of Columbia County who have said that they can’t remember a winter with more snow than what we have had this year. It looks like those memories serve them well because the CW15 reported this morning that the combined snow for January and February was the most on record with 64.5 inches in the Albany area. For those of us in the higher elevations that number is likely to be significantly higher.
We aren’t out of this snowy mess yet with more snow arriving today. At least we can safely say we are closer to the end of snow season than we are the beginning (I hope).

Check out this Kylie Minogue inspired Kinect.
This Swarovski crystal-studded Kinect was designed by PlayBling in conjunction with Kylie Minogue’s European tour, which started last month. The Kylie Kinect is valued at $1,242 and although you can’t buy one, you can win one by submitting a video of yourself dancing to Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” in the game Dance Central.
I’m still not entirely sure how you submit your video or if this is contest is even open for non-European countries. What I do know, is that I’ll be rehearsing with Dance Central in anticipation of a similar US contest when Kylie’s tour arrives on our shores later this spring.
