Snowflake Bentley Reading at EMCA

On November 12 the Endless Mountain Theatre Company performed a reading of the Caldecott Award winning children’s book, Snowflake Bentley, by J.B. Martin. Actors June Wootton and Diana Wayman retold the story of a New England farm boy who spent his life immortalizing snowflakes with his camera.

EMTC performers Diana Wayman and June Wootton present Snowflake Bentley to children at the EMCA.

The event was part of an Endless Mountains Council of the Arts exhibit featuring Snowflake Bentley’s illustrator, Mary Azarian. She is known for hand colored woodcuts and printmaking which appear in over 50 books, many for children. Also featured at the month-long EMCA exhibit are works in wood by John Long. Both artists are from New England.

Waiting For You!

Hi! My name is Luke. I’m a handsome, ten-month old German Shepherd mix who can’t wait to meet my forever owners. I’m good with cats and I’m used to a crate. I’m also housebroken, which should make me a wonderful companion for some person or family. Please come and see if I’m the dog for you.

They’ll be waiting for you at the Susquehanna County Humane Society Shelter in Montrose, (570) 278–1228.
