That level of precision doesn’t come by acci dent. Thu, March 2, 2023, 7:00 PM EST, Doors at 6:30 PM. Caffe Lena 47 Phila Street Saratoga Springs, NY 12866

Dogs must be well behaved, good with other dogs and must be leashed at all times. If your dog would rather stay home, you are welcome to stop in and grab a Pawty Pick Up Pack and bring the fun home to celebrate where your dog is more comfortable. This year's birthday bash will be “Scout themed”! We will be serving for the pups BowWow Bisque and Scout Snacks! Plus, a local Girl Scout Troop will be in front of the store with their delicious Girl Scout Cookies for sale! There will be Pup Scout activities, treat tastings, special deals on Dog products, coloring contests and a raffle for a great prize basket for one lucky pup and their person! Your dog may even earn an “Impressions Pup Scout Badge”! We will be collecting donations for our local shelters; gladly accepting new or gently used toys, collars, leashes, beds, blankets, or towels. They can also use dried and canned dog and cat food and treats. Any donations are appreciated and will be delivered to one of our many shelters and rescues! They need our help more than ever. See you on Saturday, March 4 from 11 to 3 at Impressions of Saratoga, 368 Broadway in Downtown Saratoga Springs!

March 15 - April 15 Lake George

“Here and There”, a solo exhibition of paintings by Kathryn Lynch. Please join us for a gallery re ception on March 18, 4 – 6 pm. This event is free and open to the public. Kathryn Lynch’s paintings draw from a variety of subjects, often daily en counters that range from NY’s Hudson Valley landscape, NYC cityscapes, New England seascapes, and sometimes dogs, people, flowers, and even tug boats. Her paintings are not “plein air”, or observed from direct observation, but cap ture what is caught in the periphery, or peripheral vision – a sense form, light, and atmosphere. The simplicity of forms, and direct, yet seemingly loose strokes in her paint handling, become distilled records of passing moments. Lake George Arts Project, 1 Amherst St, Lake George, NY 12845
