We never posted our new year schedule for DND on Facebook!! How silly of us for forgetting to crosspost this one🥲

We have a slightly new time set up, we’ll be going from 1pm to 3:30pm on Saturday March 7th, April 4th, and May 2nd. We’re still at Northern Wardens on Quaker Road in Queensbury, but we pushed the start time back a little bit so that the folks hosting BOTH the Q***r Coffee Talk and DND can grab a quick lunch between the two events.

We hope to continue seeing our friends here, and maybe some new friends will pop up to join the saving of the underground mushroom people!

Join UHQA for two FREE Seed Germination Classes! Taking place at the on February 28th and March 7th, from noon to 2pm. (Address is 19 Main St in Lake Luzerne, NY.)

We will be providing seeds for you to germinate, and going over germination types and rates, as well as teaching some gardening basics! We will have pot-friendly plants and ground-friendly plants available for you to germinate.

Bring back the seeds you have germinated in Class 1 on February 28th to up-pot them in Class 2 on March 7th, and we’ll talk more gardening. This is the perfect companion to the Soil-Mixing Class we had last year! We can’t wait to see you all at the library!

After our FREE Seed Germination Classes, we will also be hosting a FREE Beginner’s Foraging Class at the Rockwell Falls Public Library! This class is on Saturday, April 18th from 12 noon to 2pm. There will be a nature walk involved (optional, the first half is on flat, even ground) to test out your new skills!

Come join us at 19 Main Street in Lake Luzerne to learn the basics on ethically foraging plants native to the Adirondacks! Free small booklets will be provided, put together by one of our team members who’s experienced in foraging.

Had an absolute blast at the Upper Hudson Q***r Alliance () Annual Q***r Halloween Bash! 🎃 This was my first time running a photobooth and it was such a fun experience! Even some staff members from UHQA couldn't resist getting some photos taken!

Due to popular demand, I’m now booking photobooths for other events! Whether it’s a party, fundraiser, or community gathering, I’d love to help you capture all the fun memories. Please don't hesitate to reach out!

Due to half of our attendance for DND letting us know that they can’t make it today, we will be cancelling :(

So sorry to anyone planning to be there, we will see you all on March 7th!

We have our finalized time and dates for the beginner-friendly, episodic-style Dungeons and Dragons campaign!

Join us at Northern Wardens on Quaker Road in Queensbury, on November 8th, December 6th, and January 3rd from 12:30 to 3pm.

This is an all-ages welcome campaign, but folks will get the most enjoyment and understanding of 5E DND if they are 12 or older!

We can supply anything you may need for this campaign, but you are more than welcome to come with your own supplies if that enhances your enjoyment. With this being beginner-friendly and episodic-style, we can happily assist you along the way, and you do not have to show up for every session, and still enjoy it!

This is a FREE campaign, and we hope to see you there!
