Music by Code Blue Albany
Once again, the Capital District favorite, Code Blue Albany, will be joining us for the Sep 2017 Walk, covering songs from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Were they fabulous this year, or what!

They’re alive! The magic and wonder of puppetry will be back to visit at our Walk. Mark and Michelle Carrigan created and move these enormous puppets among the walkers. They’ve promised to join us again for the 14th annual Walk, Sep 2017.
