Ecumenical Church Services with Ray Lighthall 9:30 AM
Ray Lighthall is legendary at Oswegatchie from his years as the Ag Educator at Stockbridge Valley Central School. In his retirement, he has spent his time as a methodist pastor in Madison and Bouckville, NY. Ray's perspective on life and living is very evident in his approach to ministering. If you still want to fit in a church service on Duck Race Sunday and want to leave with a big smile, this will be perfect. Ray is in Getman Lodge starting at 9:30 AM. We receive many comments each year that this is the hidden gem of the duck race experience.
