The picture of the week comes to you from Newburgh Last Saturdays and Lisa Gervais. There was a special performance at  the Chapman Steamer Firehouse by the new owners. As you can see, there was sidewalk viewing only. But what a wonderful introduction to Newburgh. I love it how each newcomers brings a special skill with them-something that can be shared by all.
