Claus, along with Mike Iacobucci, played pivotal roles in bringing history to life for the young audience during the Colonial celebration. They portrayed heroes who aided settlers during the French and Indian attack on the city’s Stockade on Feb. 8, 1690.

Meet Lindsey Heumann, a lively 13-year-old student from O’Rourke Middle School in the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake School District. She’s seen here, bursting with laughter during the school’s unique ”Mystery Theater” event. Along with her fellow students, Lindsey donned a costume and performed in the intriguingly titled ”Barbecue With a Vampire.” This memorable event took place on Feb. 20, 1997, at the welcoming home of Regina and Carlos Cabrera.
Take a trip down memory lane with the Giminiani family of Voorheesville as they enjoy a day of sledding at Collins Park in February 1997.

Today’s Cap Scrap collection revisits both indoor and outdoor scenes from February 1997, a time of joy and togetherness.
Perched atop a colossal spring in the play area of Girls Inc. on Albany Street, 10-year-old Mary Glodny from Schenectady eagerly anticipates the arrival of her friends. It’s a warm February day in 1997, and Mary is also waiting for the arrival of spring.
