Lewis County Renaissance

10/30/2026

A few hours left.

This isn't a warehouse with black plastic on the walls. It isn't
somebody's garage. It's the Masonic Temple — a hundred-year-old building in the middle of downtown Watertown with ramps and hallways and rooms that most people in this city have never set foot in.

That's the part you can't fake and it's the part you won't get again
after Saturday.

Doors at 6. Last entry 9:30.
242 Washington St, Watertown
$10 · Designed for ages 13 and up

No photography or recording inside. Our actors will not touch you.

Tickets at the door, or givebutter.com/ncshaunt

See you in the dark.

🌲 WE'RE LOOKING FOR LAND. 🌲

As we begin planning how to grow our performances and event hosting, we're searching for at least 15 acres. ⚔️

And we're not only looking in Lewis County. As we rebrand many of our events into North Country events, we're looking at St. Lawrence and Jefferson counties as well.

For sale, for lease, or just sitting unused and doing nothing.

To be clear: we are not announcing anything, and we are not planning anything yet. This is a long way off. But to get the ball rolling with our board, with banks, and with other stakeholders, we need to see what our options are and what things cost.

So if you know of something — a parcel coming up for sale, family land nobody's farming, a field you drive past and wonder about, or just a name we ought to call — we want to hear it. 💛

Message the page or email [email protected].

A donated parcel is a deductible gift to a 501(c)(3), and it would put a family's name on something permanent for the young people of the North Country.

🏰 THANK YOU, LEWIS COUNTY. 🏰

3,000 of you came through the gates this weekend. Last year it was 1,300. ⚔️

We're still sitting with that.

A few other numbers from the weekend:
🎟️ Hundreds of tickets donated to good causes across the North Country — community organizations, fire departments, and the families and youth we serve directly.

👕 Free shirts for the majority of our volunteers.

🍗 Over $2,000 paid out in volunteer meal vouchers.

Because the people who built this in the dark, worked until midnight, and stood in a field all weekend deserved to eat and to have something to wear. 💛

We're still doing the math on the net profit — stay tuned. Whatever it comes to goes exactly where it always does: the free teen center, free peer services, free arts programs, and free community events for the young people of this county.

Thank you for showing up. All 3,000 of you.
