About Sandra and Peggy
Sandra and Peggy have developed the program to tell the stories of women’s significant contributions to Adirondack communities and their heritage. They bring to their program extensive performing/ lecturing experience along with their infectious enthusiasm for the songs and stories. In 2004, Sandra and Peggy wrote a book called Breaking Trail: Remarkable Women of the Adirondacks to tell the stories of women from across time, across the region, and with widely varied interests and achievements. Sandra and Peggy have developed the program in conjunction with their book. In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the book and program, Sandra and Peggy are working on Breaking Trail, Volume 2.
