Animals are attraction for 'Blind Kids on Safari' Children get

Each time a student ran their hands through the fur of the leopard pelt, Bob Keicher would tell the story of where it came from. "It was shot in India in the 1950s," he said. "It killed 14 children and was terrorizing a village. Really. It was a big story at the time." The leopard pelt, though, wasn't the most popular attraction at Blind Kids On Safari program Wednesday at the New York State School for the Blind.

The Chautauqua County Fair was it's usual success raising almost $4,800 through our cork gun shoot and gun raffles. A very excited Matthew Furbee won the bicycle in the cork shoot and Judy Keicher won the Browning PBS 12 gauge turkey and slug gun. We had great attendance from our general membership in  manning the booth as they ran the raffles and explaining what SCI is all about to the general public. The bluebird house giveaway was a big hit as usual.
