2001
In the off-season of 2001, we harvested timothy hay; a variety chosen because of how delicious it tastes to horses. Roger designed a large chess set, which Susan, Jon and Cori Allen (newly relocated to Newport) helped to construct in the springtime. The chess set proved to be a cool hangout for the farmers that summer. A hotter hangout was the top of the woodshop; this was the summer Jon led farmers in the construction of the woodshop deck roof. Along with the new blue roof, a hanging mural was made for the woodshop. We destroyed and rebuilt the first girls tent deck now Girls 1. That fall, Jon, Susan and Dan Boehl did the same to the first boys deck, now the Staff Tent.
Susan and Jon were joined this summer by Cori Allen*, Courtney Bartlett (long time Expo staff member), Dan Bean, Brad (Perky) Bernstein*, Dan Boehl, Carmen Bornstein, Rocky Crockett, Maura Finkelstein*, Colleen (Fitz) Fitzpatrick, Ian Kelly, Anna Krachey, Davey Jones*, Julie Martin, Pete Morgan, Matt Scafidi McGuire, Sarah Scafidi McGuire, Matt (MattyO) Oransky*and Liz Stam*. The infirmary caretaker was Lauren Abber.
