 Thousand Islands Life, Drain the Oceans Visits Cape Vincent

 

SRHF donates design and artwork for replacement Carleton Island informational panel is East End Park, Cape Vincent NY

During a visit to Cape Vincent's East End Park this summer, Dennis & Kathi McCarthy observed that the Seaway Trail informational panel for Carleton Island was deteriorated and not readable. They advised Cape Vincent Village Mayor Jerry Golden about the condition of the panel. Aware that a replacement is no longer available from Seaway Trails Inc.  Dennis & Kathi McCarthy, directors of St Lawrence River Historical Foundation, offered an updated replacement design for a new informational panel as a replacement.  Mayor Golden presented the proposal at the Cape Village meeting in July.  The village board approved the new panel purchase using the artwork. 

The new Carleton Island information panel has been mounted and can be seen in East End Park.
