Stroll Skaneateles

Bowling balls. Laser beams. Uno battles. Laughter that fills a room.

Charlene and Kevin Sullivan are more than neighbors - they’re the heartbeat of their block. Parents, entrepreneurs, artists, engineers… and still finding time to belt out songs in the kitchen with Cadence and Keegan. 💗

Their business, Lake Life Laser Studio, creates custom gifts full of meaning. But the real masterpiece? The life they’ve built together. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Meet the Sullivans - featured neighbors, community makers, memory keepers.✨

Now’s the time to plant hope 🌷

Leigh McGonagle of Poplar Point Studio reminds us that October is prime for bulb planting. From tulips to alliums, the work you do now lays the groundwork for spring joy.

With practical tips like planting in clusters and choosing early-to-late bloomers, Leigh helps us imagine a more colorful tomorrow - starting with our own front yards. 🌸

A little dirt now = a burst of color later 🌱

Creativity is alive and thriving in Skaneateles. 🎭

From historic architecture to community theater, from music halls to literary legacies - arts and culture are the heartbeat of our town.

October brings auditions for Dickens Christmas, new gallery conversations, and the continuing evolution of our cultural spaces, like the Barrow Art Gallery's upcoming expansion. 🍂

Support the arts. Attend a show. Or simply take a stroll and let the history speak to you. ✨
