A Spotlight Spcial on Mountain Lake Journal

It's great to explore the inside of another Patrick Dougherty sculpture.  This time, the whimsical wonder in wood stands at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, New York.  Enjoy Thom Hallock's report on Dougherty's creation on Mountain Lake Journal this week.

Also, see my interview with producer Tanya Lapointe.  The executive producer of the movie Dune has made a documentary about Quebec TV icon Claude Lafortune, famous for bringing figures to life made with paper, scissors and glue.

Mountain Lake Journal: A Spotlight Special, hosted by Paul Larson airs Saturday at 7 pm, Sunday at 10:00 am, and Monday at 7:30 pm, on Mountain Lake PBS.

Seagle Soars with Songs this Summer

Seagle may once again enchant its audiences with live performances.  The colony has a new name, and brighter days this summer, than when its stage was dark last year because of COVID.  Administrators changed the name from Seagle Music Colony to Seagle Festival, to better reflect the community outreach provided by performances from the emerging artists.

You may see highlights of the new season of Seagle shows on Mountain Lake Journal.  Paul Larson hosts the episode, which also features the story of how a mural in Plattsburgh is finally complete, after it remained unfinished for nearly four years.

Mountain Lake Journal airs Sunday morning at 5:30 and 10 am and Monday at 6 pm on Mountain Lake PBS.

Hosting Mountain Lake Journal this week

Enjoy a special episode of Mountain Lake Journal this week.  I chat with author Kate Messner about her latest book for kids, a colorful biography that may get your little ones excited about a career in science.  We'll also explore an art exhibit from a trio of artists.  One of them, painter Peter Hornbeck, sadly passed away before the exhibit opened.   He is famous in the boating community as the creator of the Hornbeck Boat.  The other two artists, photographers Tom Bessette and Daniel Way, offer their insight into the Adirondack Waters theme of the show, as well as thoughts on their friend's recent passing.

This special episode of Mountain Lake Journal airs this Monday at 5:30 pm.
