An Election Day sketchbook

(11/03/09) Cartoonist Marquil will be sending us sketches throughout the day of voter gatherings and polling places. Check back for more as the election progresses.

Of the second sketch at left Marquil says: "One of Saranac Lake's endearing and enduring traditions is the Election Day bake sale benefit for St. Bernard's Elementary School. Scheduled to run until two o'clock, the sale closed about an hour and a half early this year, perhaps having been eaten out of business by the hoard of national reporters and photographers covering congressional candidate Bill Owens' lunchtime visit just up the street."
