Careful not to melt, a group of local witches and a warlock took to the waters of Lake Champlain off Cliff Haven Beach in Plattsburgh Saturday as part of the second-annual Witches of the Water Parade.
Organized by Elizabeth Pearl, the event originally saw 15 participants sign up, but lake winds deterred some witches from joining this year.
Those witches who did join were Carol and Elizabeth Pearl, Stephanie Moore, Lorrie and Jen Cartier, Fran Schiff and warlock Ed Guenther.
“We look forward to having others join our parade next year,” Elizabeth Pearl said.
