The average person just wants to take a few pictures of family, friends and places. For a group of these friendly people we agreed to put together a Powerpoint program that meets their basic needs and demystifies this new “digital” age of cameras. It covers everything from what is a pixel, to which lenses you might need for your camera. We even tell you how to share your photos with friends and relatives from your camera, your computer or via the Internet. It’s all very basic. After this basic class, if you want more you can go to more advanced “photography” classes and not look like a complete dummy. J You provide the venue and group and we will provide the laptop and Powerpoint presentation. Call or e-mail to discuss or schedule. 386-956-6089 or 
Local bike trails link Fort Edward, Hudson Falls, Glens Falls and Lake George, but you have to know where they are and how to access them. There are many other locations where you can get out on bikes and enjoy the great outdoors in our area. That’s why outdoor writers Roger Fulton and Mike Carpenter decided to include these great trails in their new book, 
Samuel de Champlain explored the waters of Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence River in 1608 and beyond for several years. And, Roger Fulton retraced some of those same waters by canoe about 400 years later in 2007. So how much has sailing a canoe on Lake Champlain, or canoeing on the St. Lawrence River, changed? We can attest to the fact that the challenges of wind, waves and weather are still there, and still uncontrollable. But the navigational changes, the vessels and other factors of such voyages HAVE changed. In this special program we have “quadricized” our 300 Miles of History presentation to compare and contrast Champlain’s historic voyages with our modern day adventures. It’s a FUN presentation with good and entertaining stories about both adventurers. 
In Search of Spring Wildflowers - Lake George, NY Region
We have developed a 90 minute, walking eco-tour of the City of Glens Falls. An experienced tour guide will lead the trip and cover the history and heritage of the downtown area of the city, as well as the modern updates to the city, including Barton Mine’s “green” building. We’ll cover famous people from Glens Falls, as well as interesting stories about the people and places you will visit. The tour is available for ages 12 and older. After dinner tours are our specialty so you can walk off those extra calories. The tours cover about 1 mile over 90 minutes. 
Author and historian Roger Fulton has found that few people
remember many of the details about the French and Indian War.
Fought primarily in the Lake George area during the 1750’s,
this war was a major factor in deciding our heritage, the formation
of the United States and who we are today. In a slide presentation
he will cover the basics of the war from who was fighting and
why, to the major battles, their armaments and their methods
of travel and attack. Dressed in 1750’s attire, he will
also describe what life was like for the Common Man in that
era. At the end, he’ll tell you who won the war! (In
case you can’t remember.)
In the summer of 2007 author and historian Roger Fulton traveled
nearly 300 miles by canoe from Albany to Lake Ontario, retracing
the water routes of the French and Indian War of the 1750’s.
Dressed in 1750’s attire, as he was on his journey, he
will present a Powerpoint slide presentation of his trip and
what he found along the way. His accounts of traveling up the
Hudson River, down the St. Lawrence River and his travels on
Lake George and Lake Champlain are all interesting and entertaining. 
Roger
Fulton has been to Costa Rica several times to mountainbike,
whitewater raft, hike and to just enjoy the great scenery of
this interesting Central American country. In a Powerpoint
slide presentation he will share some of his adventures and
experiences with you. Photos in the presentation include the
moods of Costa Rica, local culture, activities and the flora
and fauna of the region. Enjoy colorful butterflies and interesting
birds as well as photos of other interesting wildlife, including
the elusive two-toed sloth. It’s all for a fun time and
the sharing of this wonderful country with you. The presentation
isn’t quite as good as being there, but the price is
much better.
Fought
near Alexandria Bay, NY in July of 1813, an
American force of only 50 American soldiers and militia had
repelled an attack by 250 British attackers. The story of
the battle and the Americans killed in the attack were nearly
lost to history due to neglect. In 1999 a local 12 year
old boy led us to three polished granite markers in an overgrown
field on the shore of Cranberry Creek. A summer of research
revealed that those granite markers had been placed there
by the Daughters of the American Revolution as a memorial
to the brave American soldiers who died on American soil, defending
against their British enemies in 1813.In 1999 they were "repatriated" and
a permanent memorial has been erected to secure the remembrance of
their sacrifices. The story of the battle and the soldiers'
repatriation is presented by Roger Fulton in this interesting
Powerpoint slide presentation.

Your 5th grade teacher taught you how to write. And now, after a lifetime of experience, you actually have something to write about other than your summer vacation. But how do you get your poetry, a magazine article, a book or novel published? Roger Fulton had his first non-fiction book published in 1988. Since then he has had 20+ books published, more than 100 articles and columns, and a whole bunch of shorter pieces published. This 60-90 minute Powerpoint presentation presents the basics of how to get your work published. As a bonus, he will reveal the 4 secrets to getting published as handed down from generation to generation of writers. It’s similar to how magicians hand down tricks to the next generation.
