"The St. Lawrence River is at last opening up around Singer
Castle. Soon our caretaker, Scott Garris, will be able to leave the
island regularly to run errands and go to the store. Just 65 more days
until opening day for the 2013 season on May 18th. The castle will
be open weekends and by appointment until June 22nd when it will be open daily
through Labor Day. Then weekends and by appointment through October 6th."
