Assemblywoman Addie Russell (D-Theresa) announced today that she secured $10,000 for the Sackets Harbor Historical Society to renovate and upgrade their stage that is used at the Sackets Harbor Battlefield for their Concerts on the Waterfront Series.
“I am so pleased to be able to help with the upgrade of the well-used stage that has literally supported hundreds of musical acts,” said Assemblywoman Russell. “Completing its 30th year, the Concerts on the Waterfront series are an important element of tourism for Sackets Harbor and the surrounding communities. Hopefully with these renovations, the concert series will continue for another 30 years and beyond.”
Historical Society President Christine Eggleston said that this was very welcome news. “Our stage is in need of much renovation including new storage, and a new canopy so this is wonderful news.”
The Assemblywoman surprised the audience with the announcement at the final concert of the year featuring the DeSantis Band and Orchestra.
