Sod skate

Picture below is from my friend Addy. (In addition to being a landscape architecture student and the one who keeps Minns Garden (and others) looking good all summer, she’s also a member of the Ithaca League of Women Rollers, skating for the BlueStockings.)

It’s their float for the Ithaca Festival parade — a work in progress here, but Addy promised to hook me up with more pix later.

Here’s the playlist with most of the songs.

And some pix shot by Marc and Carol. (More in Carol’s Facebook Photos.)

Corey and Noah once again take home one of the prizes — a vinyl record melted into a bowl.
