Dear Friends--If you haven't visited the Ithaca Sound Maze, on
Calkins Rd. in the Town of Ithaca, you are in for a real treat. Once
again, Christianne and Walter White have created a wonderful
experience for people of all ages. The setting is remarkably
beautiful. It's hard believe that you are only a couple of minutes
outside of Ithaca. And if you are musically inclined you will be
fascinated by the array of instruments the Whites and friends have
created and the incredible range of sounds they generate, including a
couple of new instruments never seen before. Or just the experience
of the maze itself is well worth the trip. Our cat likes it as
well! The Ithaca Sound Maze is open weekends throughout the Fall
with "self service" visits during the week. For more information see
http://www.ithacasoundmaze.com/ .
As we head in to a time of increasing instability in the economy and
the pending energy descent we need to develop means to find fun and
enjoyment at the local level. When Dollywood and Darien Lake are no
longer accessible to many folks, finding affordable local
entertainment will be come increasingly important for the well being
of our population. For hundreds or even thousands of years
communities created their own amusements with the arts, theater and
fairs. The Ithaca Sound Maze offers us this local, sustainable
family entertainment with a low carbon foot print--no long car ride
or jet plane trip required. Enjoy! Tom
