So for visitors to have the opportunityto spend both days, they'll really
get a lot out of it.So we look forward to seeing everyone.
(02:09):
Yeah, and it's so great becausethe other thing I love about Fort ticonder
Roga obviously the history. It's amazing. We have so much rich history right
in our own backyard, so headingon up to Fort Taikondar Roga is amazing
for that. But it's also sobeautiful, bess. I mean when I
talk about going on that boat cruise, it was amazing in the gardens.
(02:30):
I mean, it really is justincredible for people to see. Yeah,
you know, it's such an evocativeplace. You feel the power of the
past. You know, a placethat to find the continent and the eighteenth
century world, and you know,the founding of our nation. And then
you couple that with these two thousandacres of scenic landscape Lake Champlain. Our
(02:51):
visitors do love getting out on thewater, and then we have just layers
of history even beyond the military history, while we have so many beautiful gardens,
So that's great. And then alsoon top of the event this weekend,
everybody needs to come on out theend of the month because On July
twenty ninth, our sixth Acre CornMaze opens and that's awesome for families too

fort, new design every year.Answer history clues to get through and that
is all part of the four tychondrugaexperience for the same great admissions price.

I often get lost, Beth,but I'm not the brightest bulb on
the tree. So but you knowa hint two hints. One, if
(03:38):
you get a chance, go upto the fort and do tours and then
you'll be able to answer the historyclues. And two and I did this,
although I didn't know the history clues. I brought my dog Boomer with
me and he led the way out. And that's something. You know,
people really love that we're such adog friendly sight and families. You know,
our dogs are part of our families, and so that's another great way
(03:59):
to get through the maze. I'llhave to make sure I do that.

place though, all getting aside,if you haven't been before Ticonderoga, or
