A
summer of can’t-miss shows awaits at Bethel Woods this season, and there’s something for everyone!

Take the kids to see Big Time Rush and Victoria Justice, then fall back into your teenage memories with the Eagles and Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons.

following the Stray Cat he Dancing Cat Saloon and Catskill Distilling Co. on Route 17B in Bethel has a new sibling – the Stray Cat Gallery, a showcase for local artists! The gallery is located in the hamlet of Bethel just across the street from the Saloon/Distillery complex. The opening show, running through May 22, will feature Nancy Wells, Allan Rubin and Candy Spilner, and will debut large-scale installations by Tom Holmes and Daina Shobrys that will be on display on the grounds throughout the season. You might recall there was a wonderful opening last year at the end of August, but the Gallery was forced to close soon after because of technical glitches that rendered the phone and Internet unusable. Now it is opening for a full season, with a complement of over 30 artists including woodcarver Paul Stark, who has a workshop on the premises, and who helped inspire the whole concept of the gallery; photographers Jerry Cohen, sculptor Ray Fiero; and many others! For the Spring Exhibition, there will be anthropomorphic sculptures created by Allan Rubin from found branches and canvas; Candy Spilner's "Islands," investigating visual perception and the complexity of pictorial space; and Nancy Wells' digital collages, combining her love of color and process and derived from sources in the natural world of the landscape. Later in the season, the Stray Cat will be hosting artists' gatherings on the weekends and For Kids Only art events and live demonstrations and art classes. For more information visit www.straycatgallery.com

istory is in every corner of the De Bruce Country Inn. Indeed, it envelops you so completely you can’t help but feel far back in time, close to the land and lodging as it appeared a century ago. “We changed as little as possible,” co-owner Marilyn Kocher Lusker will tell you. Every one of the 14 bedrooms and two suites echoes her words. Although all the rooms now have private bathrooms, a few have the original sink in the corner – from the days when each floor in the four-story inn shared bathrooms. Sunlight pours through windows draped with colorful, floralpatterned curtains,

Genteel country pleasures await all who step inside or wander about the surrounding land of the De Bruce Country Inn. Built a century ago as a handsome roominghouse (top center), the Inn has retained the charm of days gone by, from the wide front porch (above) to the quilt-covered beds (top left). The crystal blue water of the inground pool (right) complements the reflective green found in the nearby pond (facing page), which is accessible via stairs and paths. Breakfast and dinner are often served in an invitingly scenic & sunny room called the Terrace (facing page, top), a modern addition. 10

ruce complementing the wallpaper patterns unique to each room. The stairs and floors creak softly and agreeably underfoot, the richly dark long-leaf yellow pine as sturdy and handsome as ever. Even the silver door numbers and Art Deco lamp fixtures are original. The first-floor dining room and library also hearken back to a quieter, slower time. A cast-iron stove occupies a spot of honor in its dining-room retirement, while the library features countless books and magazines, offering absorbing reading in front of an enormous fireplace. The basement bar – fully stocked with beer, spirits and an excellent wine selection – has kept the feel of a haven long enjoyed by sportsmen of every stripe. The tiny hamlet in which the inn sits, the eponymous De Bruce, NY, happens to lie along the famed Willowemoc, renowned for its trout fishing. De Bruce Road once hosted more than a dozen resorts and camps, which is how Marilyn and her family came to live there in the 1940s. M AY / J U N E 2 0 1 3

Her father ran the penultimate place to stay, the De Bruce Club Inn, which survived into the 1970s before being claimed by the elements. Today, the De Bruce Country Inn – reopened by Marilyn and her husband Ron in 1983 – is the only original roominghouse left in this picturesque part of the Catskill Mountains. The love they’ve poured into a oncedecrepit inn is evident, as the sunroom addition (called the Terrace), Posturepedic mattresses, inground swimming pool and modern private bathrooms only add to the old-fashioned pleasures of sitting on a wide front porch, strolling along the 50-acre property, casting a fly in the private stretch of the Willowemoc or drawing close to your loved one underneath the wooden gazebo. Breakfast and dinner are included in every stay. Open to the general public by reservation, the restaurant offers a range of organic fruits, vegetables, 12

eggs, pasta, fish, Angus beef, roasts and soups, prepared by Ron, a talented artist with an affinity for food and its presentation. He and Marilyn are also lovers of art. Indeed, every space in the Inn features artwork by Ron or Marilyn, or by one of the artists who show their pieces at frequent exhibits in the Inn’s “Drawing Room” gallery. Families with children are as welcome as couples seeking privacy or enthusiasts of hunting and fishing (the opportunity for which exists right on the grounds). Located just four miles east of Route 17’s Exit 96 and the hamlet of Livingston Manor, the Inn isn’t far from other interesting pursuits like the Catskill Fly-Fishing Center and Museum, Frost Valley YMCA, the Neversink Reservoir, the state-run De Bruce Fish Hatchery, and the Willowemoc’s even more famous sibling, the Beaverkill.
