celebrate life. Import of the imagination through creativity is vital for the
development of children, and even more so for adults. To return to ones youth
and engage in play raises ones quality of life and improves health by reducing
stress. If you would like to speak with us, call the Studio at (845)457-5512.

The Winter Starlight Festival
- Dec 19, 2004
A festival that honored the winter light through an evening of performance in
music ,dance, story and song.
We created Stone Soup from the beloved children's book with impromptu scene
study and performance. Soup and treats were enjoyed by all.
Immediately following was the candlelit parade and bridge lighting ceremony
The ceremony on the bridge was commemorated by casting
all the wishes in stones, dropped into the Wallkill River.
Those wishes were given to the river to be washed through the world. The bridge
was lit with many white lights, courtesy of the D.O.T., The Town and Village
of Montgomery along with Central Hudson--We at the Meadow appreciate all those
that volunteered their time and came out to celebrate with us!
