I love field trips, especially when it means getting to meet kids! Last night, I went with CCHS’ educator Ashley to the Chatham Lions Club Cub Night at Jackson’s Old Chatham House. Ashley talked about what life was like for soldiers from Columbia County during the war, and then the kids got to try on some uniforms and gear. Thanks to the Lions Club for having us!

Speaking of getting to meet kids… tomorrow I’m going with the education staff to the Hudson Children’s Book Festival. Come visit me at CCHS’ table in the exhibitors room! The festival runs from 10am to 4pm at the Hudson Junior and Senior High Schools (215 Harry Howard Ave., Hudson). I wonder if there will be any books about groundhogs?
