Those following the events concerning the Centennial of the Lake Washington Ship Canal and Chittenden Locks will want to mark the following date on their calendar. On Sun Sept.10, 2017, local documentary videographer will present his latest movie in the Visitor Center at the locks. The following is from MakingtheCut100.org and gives a brief description of what you may expect.
Also on the day, two local authors will be on hand to discuss their recent book on the history of this project which had its roots in the 19th century. I believe their book is also being carried in the gift shop so it's a great opportunity to purchase a little local history or to do some advance Christmas shopping for the historian on your list.
Many of the projects which have taken place this year have received support from 4Culture and this support is gratefully acknowledged.
