Mentalist to Perform at Fall Fest & Alumni Weekend

(Herkimer, NY – Sept. 15, 2011) Mentalist Robert Channing will be performing at Herkimer County Community College’s Fall Fest & Alumni Weekend. The amazing Channing is billed as “World’s Foremost Mind Reader, Hypnotist and Psychic Entertainer.” He will perform Saturday, October 1 at 4 p.m. in the Sarkus Busch Theater of the McLaughlin College Center.

The community is welcome to attend free of charge.

Channing’s show includes ESP, hypnosis, mind reading and psychic experiments. He’s performed on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX television. Channing’s show has been called “amazing, riveting and clean—with a perfect blend of comedy.”

The audience will participate and experience the fascinating and mysterious wonders of the sixth sense. Pick a thought, a number, the exact amount of change in your pocket and Channing can tell you what it is. Specific people, special events, he can reveal your innermost thoughts while maintaining a level of professionalism and sensitivity to the privacy of the audience.

Florida Atlantic University said “as a performer, Robert Channing is one of the funniest, most energetic and charismatic performers we’ve worked with.”

Sofia Coon to take the stage at Curry College

MILTON , MA (11/18/2010)(readMedia) Curry College Theatre is pleased to announce that Syracuse resident, Sofia Kathryn Coon, daughter of David Coon and Kathryn Huddleston, will play the role of Jenny in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman.

This will be Sofia’s second season with Curry theatre after having been seen in the Black Box for the New Plays Festival 2010, and on the Main Stage in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. She is also a part of the Improv Troupe Absolut Improv, was recently seen as Betty in David Ives’ All in the Timing and currently serves as the PR Liaison for Curry Theatre.

Death of a Salesman will run Saturday, December 4 through Tuesday December 7 at 7:30pm in the Oscar B. and Frances A.

Demoltion Derby Comes to Jefferson County Fair

Derbies Sweep the State This Summer

(Watertown, NY) This summer there is a new trend on the New York must-have list: a seat at the local demolition derby. A grassroots fixture of fairs and race tracks across the country, demolition derbies crashed into the heart of Americana in the 1950’s and haven’t left since.  Derby enthusiast Chris Marquart believes the misjudged motorsport deserves a place in the hearts of his fellow New Yorkers.

Marquart, who attended his first derby at the age of three, explains the appeal: “It’s mayhem and madness and it’s brilliant when you think about it – it pares down the most exciting and dangerous parts of a typical oval track race.” Marquart was recently named an Ambassador for the DEMOLITION DERBY LEAGUE (DDL), the international organizing body for combative motorsports. He points out that although some derbies have a “hokey redneck stigma,” in reality the sport requires knowledge of physics, driving strategy, and technical expertise – not to mention a flair for drama.

DDL Commissioner Dudley Disastro states: “We’re excited to bring some exposure to New York derbies – there are some amazing shows in the area, with different events, multiple heats and purses up to $10,000.” This summer’s shows vary in levels of expertise and degrees of legal car modification, with plenty of opportunities for first-time derby drivers to participate.
