We offer a historically rich heritage of hosting guests of all ages, sharing the spirit of the wild Adirondacks for all who venture here. 1000 Acres Ranch was founded in 1942 by Jack and Ester Arehart. Located on the banks of the Hudson River, in the heart of the Adirondack Park, the ranch offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Adirondacks while having a true dude ranch experience. Over the decades, the ranch gained the reputation of being “The Cadillac of Ranches” and “The Pearl of The Adirondacks.” We pride ourselves on upholding that reputation to this day. Delight in the beauty of the Adirondacks and experience trails the way they did in the wild west - on horseback. For almost a century 1000 Acres Ranch has offered guests an Adirondack experience not found anywhere else. Get a taste of the rugged cowboy life – but with a few more of the modern amenities and activities.

It’s not just a highly engaging circus-themed school show! And it’s not a normal character education school assembly. While most character ed assemblies focus only on defining character traits and explaining how to use those traits, Diversity Circus goes much deeper. This powerful and effective character assembly will teach your students that every person belongs. “Be Fair, Be Aware, include others, and use Respect” are the four lessons students will learn during the Diversity Circus character education school assembly. This effective elementary character education program also covers Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s character message, Cultural Diversity, Diversity in the Classroom, Being Fair, and more. It’s a perfect program to honor the MLK Holiday, and Black History Month, and to support your school’s PBIS program and anti-bullying efforts. The Diversity Circus character school show uses TONS of audience participation, hilarious comedy, kooky characters, costumes, incredible one-of-a-kind magical illusions, and non-stop hysterical action to engage students and to keep kids talking long after the show is over.

Our mission at BIG INK is to encourage appreciation for woodblock printmaking: one impression at a time. In 2012, Lyell Catongguay founded BIG INK to provide woodblock printmaking workshop opportunities for people of all skill levels. As a result, thousands of individuals have learned how to carve wood by following Castonguay’s online master class, and numerous community members have attended BIG INK’s workshops to witness the spectacle of large-scale woodblock printing. With its community-driven and public art education model, BIG INK is committed to ensuring a promising future for printmaking. Hire BIG INK for a workshop at your school. We’ll travel to your location and set up The Big Tuna, our custom-designed giant mobile printing press. Does your group have limited woodblock carving experience? That is okay. We’ll be your guide!
