denpubs@denpubs.com BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE — The Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts could not have asked for a more beautiful evening or setting for this year’s Great Arts Benefit. The benefit was held at the Marion Carry Pavilion of the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake on Saturday, Aug. 9. Event Chairwomen Joanna Pine and Jamie Strader, supported by staff and volunteers, did a fantastic job in planning and organizing the event and the weather could not have been more cooperative, nor could have the members of the community, with more than 80 attendees enjoying an expansive buffet of delicious hors d’oeuvres donated by local restaurants. These were supplemented by fresh-grilled kabobs of chicken, beef and shrimp, as well as platter after platter of warm, tasty treats carried through the crowd by staff members of the Arts Center and volunteers. Throughout the evening, entertainment was provided by the voice and guitar playing of the very talented Brian Detlefs. During her address to the attendees, Jamie Strader, President of the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts, voiced her personal thanks and that of the Arts Center Board, to all who made the event possible both at the Arts Center and the Adirondack Museum. Special thanks went to all those who donated food and auction items and all the attendees who came out to support the Arts Center. In addition, she delivered an update on some of the news surrounding happenings at the Center. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
