Music by Code Blue Albany
Once again, the Capital District’s favorite, Code Blue Albany, joined us at the Sept 2017 Walk, covering songs from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. What a fantastic group!
The Puppet People of Schenectady
They’re alive! The magic and wonder of puppetry came back to visit at our Walk. Mark Carrigan created and moved these enormous puppets among the walkers.

What if I just want to make a donation but not walk? I see nothing on your home page that tells me how to do that. (I might be missing the obvious)
when you open the Lustgarten walk page, there is a button for donateLustgarten Albany Walk
