Hi All, Photos are Courtesy of Mike & Margie Cain from their Mother Gene Cain's Photo Album:

Back on April 7, 1915 the Methodist Church Choir gathered in front of what later became the home of Fred & Bette Bellows
at 1175 Main Street

Now I am assuming that they are probably somewhere just before what is now the Campgrounds on Route 104
as this is the area known as Brush's Woods and they were headed for C. W. Brush's sugar woods

Now it didn't look like there was a lot of snow around, but looks like the guy kneeling in the front has a couple of
pans of snow ready for some sugar on snow

I also suspect that they had some dill pickles too as at least when I was younger,
that was also served with sugar on snow and the Methodist Ladies also must have had doughnuts,
definitely another must at the sugar house
