Moose Loose on Henry Street

SARATOGA SPRINGS —There should be quite a spectacle on Saturday, November 16 at the Paint and Sip Studio (80 Henry Street, Saratoga Springs) as author Vicki Addesso Dodd and illustrator Patrick Janowski officially release their latest collaboration, “A Moose in My Stable.” Based on an actual moose sighting at Saratoga Race Course in 2009, “A Moose in my Stable” is a playful story about a moose wandering onto a farm at the famous track and finding it so inviting, he squeezed his moosely self into the stall belonging to a Thoroughbred. Yet he soon realized that with antlers it was quite the snug fit and he couldn’t get out! Will his new friend the race horse help save the day? These and other exciting questions will be answered as Paint and Sip hosts an event with both moose and horse available for book signings and photo ops, followed by a painting class. I intend to stop by just to see how a moose grips a palette in his hoof. The public is invited to the family-friendly fun beginning at 2:30 p.m. The event will also include a demonstration by Patrick illustrating how he brings his characters to life.
