Xpedition Outdoors At Oswegatchie

9/9/2016

0 Comments

 
Its amazing where a phone call will take you. Back in Spring 2015, I found out about a show that my sister's friend was going to host. It was being produced by  the local PBS station. It was called Xpedition Outdoors and was going to focus on regional destinations and outdoor pursuits. After a few rainy days and one good day outside to film, the crew had the footage they needed to put together a 22 minute show. Then after waiting almost 11 months, the show launched on PBS and now lives online. 

We hope you like it, since Oswegatchie has never looked better!
