Things got a bit wild at the Catskill photo shoot when 15 members of Ukulele Catskill showed up at CREATE Gallery on November 9—we were all a little strung out for a minute there. Thanks to Stella Yoon and the good folks at CREATE for hosting us and kudos to all the proud Catskillians who showed up to represent their fair town.
