Rural Intelligence’s friend and sometime contributor Paige Orloff, one of the founders of The Sister Project reports:

Over 1,000 people attended the Columbia Land Conservancy‘s annual Memorial Day weekend fundraisier, a family-friendly afternoon of food (catered by Carlucci Catering of Chatham, Georgia Ray’s Kitchen of Hudson, and Kinderhook’s Dutch Desserts, with bread and cheese donated by Hawthorne Valley Farm) and festivity, including an ever-popular silent auction. This year’s event was held on the grounds of Tom and Nancy Clark‘s Old Chatham Sheepherding Company.
