Long road ahead of volunteers to bring in spring Chautauqua

Summer is a long way off as Petersburg heads into winter, but it’s still on the minds of a number of volunteers looking to bring New Old Time Chautauqua to town when the snow is gone.

The show, represented by Paul Magid in recent visits to test the waters, “is a way to bring community out,” he said. “It’s an amplification of each community ― you get out of it, as a community, what you put into it. We’re going to come in, have a great time and bring performers that might not otherwise be here ― we’re going to do our part but, really, what makes this work is when the community gets involved.”
