I got my days mixed up this weekend and forgot that the Skinnyman was Saturday morning (thought it took place on Labor Day By the time I arrived along the lake this morning it was well under way and in fact a lot of the racers had already crossed the finish line. The excitement and energy surrounding the event was infectious and the guy announcing the racers as they crossed the finish line was hilarious. Every time I heard “come on white shirt guy … you can do it” or “keep it up pink shirt lady, you’re almost there” I chuckled. I never did find out who won the Skinnyman …
Below is a short movie I made (be gentle with your critique’s, I’m still learning how to use the camera). I captured some of the great racers as they crossed the finish line, the encouragement of the announcer, the CNY Healing Arts staff members giving out free orthopedic massages to the racers and an interview with our very own Candy Searing. Thanks so much for agreeing to talk on camera Candy, it makes the movie!!

Packwood House was built in 2003 on the site of the old Skaneateles Post Office, Packwood House was named after John Packwood (1824-1890). John Packwood was a highly successful carriage maker in Skaneateles and one of the early owners of the Sherwood Inn – which he had renamed Packwood House in the late 1800’s. It is a contemporary lakeside retreat which offers 19 comfortable guest suites, many of which provide picturesque views of the lake and the village.
Packwood House joins many of our local merchants in Skaneateles, NY in supporting local artists during the monthly First Friday events. Packwood House will feature a different artist each month from 6PM to 9PM on First Friday. You can view the artists work in the lobby.
This month Jurgen Karker’s work will be on display at Packwood House. Read Jurgen’s Bio below:
Jurgen Karker Charcoal and Pencil
When I was five years old I crossed the Atlantic Ocean for a summer in Europe. On the ship was a passenger who spent most of his time sketching. I saw him there every day and marveled at what he was creating. Far as I was concerned, his pencil was magic; he created the most beautiful pictures I had ever seen. I didn’t realize it then but I was changed forever. I‘ve been trying to find that magic pencil ever since.
I’m a devoted flyfisherman and spend much of my time on trout rivers, and the Atlantic salmon rivers of the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec. Land and waterscapes are church to me so it’s natural for me to depict them.
The scenes are simple, peaceful and hopefully draw viewers into them, with the wish that they could be there. Click on the thumbnail to the right to view a close-up of Jurgen’s work.
