Finger Lakes Events Calendar

2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the New York State Park system, and we are celebrating it locally! Robert H. Treman State Park itself was opened to the public a century ago, and Buttermilk Falls State Park was established in 1924 as well.

The Friends of Robert H. Treman State Park (Tremanparkfriends.org) have worked with Finger Lakes State Parks education/interpretation staff to produce exhibits about state parks in Tompkins County and the Finger Lakes Region in the atrium of the Tompkins Center for History and Culture (tompkins-center.net) on the Ithaca Commons. Come on down and explore the displays and short videos, including a life-sized image of Robert H. Treman, benefactor and leader in the creation of our state parks in Tompkins County and throughout the region, as well as other local parks and preserves. We take a brief tour of the exhibits in this episode (#260) of Walk in the Park (Walkinthepark.tv)

Also on May 4, hundreds of volunteers across the state pitched in on “I Love My Park Day” to help prepare parks for this season and for generations to come. We go to Robert H. Treman State Park to see what was happening there, including interviews with Park Supervisor Cassie Lovelace, Park Manager Jim Brophy, and Finger Lakes State Park Regional Director Fred Bonn. I Love My Park Day is coordinated by Parks & Trails NY (ptny.org).

Walk in the Park is a non-commercial, public access, cable TV series shown on channel 13 in the Ithaca, NY area. Owl Gorge Productions (Owlgorge.com) produces Walk in the Park as a public service at PEGASYS Community Media Center (Pegasys.webstarts.com). Owl Gorge Productions is a Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance partner.

      Outdoor Summer Saturday Yoga at Hunt Country will be back in session for the 2024 summer season! 

      Start your Saturdays this summer with Yoga instructor Jan Corning.

      Yoga in our scerene vineyard setting is the perfect way to treat yourself and rejuvinate for the start of the weekend. 

About the Instructor, Jan Corning:

Jan received her certification from Ohra Studios in Bedford, NY in 2019 after practicing Yoga for ten years.  She teaches a fitness based vinyasa flow at a level half.  So, there is some challenge, but modifications are always offered.  More advanced positions are rarely included in Jans class because she likes to keep the asanas available to everyone.  She focusses on building strength, while increasing flexibility, and also focusing as always, on the breath.  Her goal when teaching is to have the students feel as if they worked at something, and accomplished it!   

$15 per guest: Arrive 10 - 15 minutes early to sign in and pay.

Dearest four-legged friends,

The moment has come for you to nudge your human companion and make your way to the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail, from June 1st through the 30th. Each winery along the trail has prepared delightful treats just for you, the most delightful of all creatures, and ample pets and belly rubs await from admirers aplenty to make your tail wag with joyous vigor.

"But what about my beloved human?" you might inquire. Fear not, for they too shall partake in the festivities. At the very first winery you visit within the designated dates, your human will receive a 'pooch-friendly punch card'. Should they manage to guide you to 6 or more wineries, acquire a bottle at each, and turn in their punch card at the final stop (or mail it to the wine trail office), they will enter for a chance to claim a grand prize! The precise nature of the reward remains a closely guarded secret, but we shall reveal it in due course.

Take note, dear reader, of these important considerations for your human's awareness:

• The tasting rooms of the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail's esteemed wineries are entirely pet-friendly, though restaurant areas are an exception.
• Participation in this splendid event is free, save for any tasting fees your human may incur at each winery.
• The first 100 who pre-register will receive a free bandana to enhance your undeniable charm. (see below to pre-register)
• While we trust you'll be the epitome of good manners, please stay leashed at all times. We wouldn't want you to dart off with unchecked enthusiasm and lose your way.
• Additionally, the wine trail has been busily planning further delights, including souvenir options to mark your visit, delectable dog biscuits to take home, photo opportunities, contests, and much more!

Yours devotedly,

The Canine Connoisseur and Wine Trail Leader

Esther Park, piano

Beethoven Op. 76, “Harp”
Shostakovich Piano Trio No. 2
Georges Antoines Piano Quartet

Music making can be a balm, offering respite among sorrow and strife, and giving artists a way of expressing their pain or reacting to their circumstances. In music, composers may celebrate victories, lament the loss of friends, or find the metaphorical harmony and peace that eludes the larger world. Join resident GMF artists for an exploration of three composers whose lives and works were shaped by their experience of conflict. Written during the Napoleonic wars, Beethoven’s “Harp” Quartet is a sparkling, lyrical reminder of joy, while Shostakovich’s Piano Trio, written as a memorial and replete with a danse macabre, dwells upon the tragic. Georges Antoine’s Piano Quartet, emerging from the trenches of World War I, is a passionate testament to a musical career cut short.
