[FINGER LAKES PLEIN AIR]
COMPETITION and FESTIVAL
The 7th annual Finger Lakes Plein Air Competition & Festival, one of the
preeminent arts event in New York State’s Finger Lakes region, will run
from June 5-10 and will again be held under the auspices of the Ontario
County Arts Council. Featuring as many as forty-five talented artists
from across the country who will paint the beauty of Canandaigua and
the Finger Lakes.
This premier festival not only attracts numerous art collectors and
appreciators, it also offers many opportunities for the community to
participate, discover and explore the contemporary plein air painting
movement in their own backyard.
The festival welcomes art buyers and the public alike to an event
celebrating the beauty of the Finger Lakes through the lens of the
Plein Air experience. We encourage artists to join the Plein Air painting
community and participate in this remarkable re-awakening of a
renowned art movement.
Through this festival’s significant economic and cultural contributions
and the community’s support of the arts and it artists, Canandaigua
and the Finger Lakes region continues to thrive as a unique and vibrant
arts destination.
Scenic Painting Spots
“If you have always had a beautiful spot and thought, ‘Some artist
should paint that,’ this is your chance,” said Patricia Rini Rohrer. They are
asking local residents living around the lake to invite the professional
artists from across the U.S. and Canada into their backyards, gardens,
fields, docks and beaches, farmland, vineyards, woods, fields, ponds,
buildings with character and more for the festival. Spots to paint in
case of rain such as porches, gazebos, open sided structures would be
highly appreciated. The participating artists are professional, highly
skilled painters and will respect your property leaving nothing behind
except a footprint or two and a great work of art.

MAKE SURE AN ACCIDENT DOESN’T END YOUR BOATING OR ATV FUN

­BY KAREN CAFFARINI | MORE CONTENT NOW
Buying a boat or ATV can be one of the most exciting
investments you’ll make, as it provides you a vehicle to get
away from the daily grind and enjoy an outdoor adventure.
While some may take great care in choosing the perfect boat
or four-wheeler for their needs, they may not be as diligent
in obtaining the right insurance coverage in the event of an
accident, vandalism or some other malady that should befall
their favorite possession. Here are some factors to consider.
With boat insurance, companies look at three factors: the
boat itself, the insured person and the location of the boat,
said Mark Zadrick, assistant director for personal lines,
boating and yachts for Travelers Insurance. Insurers like
fiberglass, which is easier to repair and tends to last longer,
while steel boats will rust in salty water. Insurers will look
at how long you’ve been boating and whether this is your
first boat. Plus, you get discounts if you’ve taken boat safety
courses. Zadrick said you can get credits for every month the
boat is out of the water. He added some carriers offer, at no
additional cost, coverage for custom accessories for your ATV.
Ask about wreckage removal if your boat is damaged or
destroyed, so if the boat sinks and has to be raised up and
destroyed, you are covered.
If you’re planning on taking your boat more than 50 miles
from shore some policies can get tricky, so be sure to check
on your coverage if you are traveling into Mexico or Canada.
Your homeowner coverage may not be sufficient. Some
policies may only cover losses to your ATV if it isn’t driven
off your premise, said Frank Darras, an insurance attorney
based in Ontario, California. Boats also need their own
policy so you are protected from fire, theft, flood, property
damage and collisions, he said.
Zadrick said some boaters mistakenly believe they can
cancel their insurance coverage altogether when the boat
is out of the water since, unlike autos, no state requires
boat insurance. “There are still some perils that could occur
— the weight of ice and snow can damage the boat, the
boat in storage next to yours could catch fire and it could
be vandalized.”
Make sure you have umbrella coverage over your ATV or
boat insurance so there is no gap in coverage, Darras said.
“Umbrella coverage is the cheapest insurance out there,
protecting us like an umbrella that sits on top of our auto,
homeowners, boat and ATV coverage if we get into a major
wreck.” He said $1 million worth of umbrella coverage costs
about $200 a year.
A clean driving record will drive down premiums for ATV
insurance, along with anti-theft devices and completion of
a driver safety course. Darras said.
Ask if your policy pays for lodging, hotels and meals while
you are laid up waiting for repair if your ATV is involved in
an accident.

ERIE CANAL
The New York State Canal System is
not only rich in history, but also culture.
From its inception, the canal helped
form a whole new culture revolving
around canal life. At one time, more than
50,000 people depended on the canal
for their livelihood. As the population
grew and the transportation waterway
prospered, packet boats and passenger
MESSENGER POST MEDIA • 2018 SUMMER GUIDE • PAGE 16
vessels, traveled from town to town.
Entertainment was prevalent and
families would often meet each year, at
the same locations, to share stories and
adventures...just as they do today.
The Erie Canal is a major attraction
and recreational resource. The canal
had a huge impact on its surrounding
villages, providing inexpensive and easy
transportation of goods, which allowed
agriculture and industry to develop. Local
museums depict the “Era of the Erie”.
Many exhibits and remnants of the old
canal are plentiful throughout the area.
Today, the canal is still filled with pleasure
boats, fishermen, visitors, and wildlife.
Cyclists, runners and walkers enjoy the
towpaths, their natural beauty and
their history. Culture still abounds along
its banks with many events that are
cherished in many communities today.
The canal provides recreation for the
whole family. Whether you fish, boat,
canoe, kayak, hike or bike miles of canal
are waiting for you. Modern facilities such
as marinas, hiking and biking paths, and
canalside parks make your experience
a pleasant one.
The Canal Way Trail System offers miles
of scenic trails and numerous parks for
hiking, biking and cross-country skiing.
Enjoy wildlife viewing along miles of
green and tranquil trails that line New
York’s canals. The trail system includes
more than 150 miles of exiting trails
comprised of four major trail segments:
The Erie Canal Heritage Trail, Old Erie
Canal State Park, Mohawk-Hudson
Bikeway and the Glens Falls Feeder
Canal Trail. For more information
visit www.canals.ny.gov.
Erie Canal’s 194th Opening
Festivals and events kick off
The Erie Canalway National Heritage
Corridor and the NYS Canal Corporation
have teamed up to sponsor 28 festivals
and events to showcase the heritage of
the Canalway Corridor and the recreational
appeal of the waterway and trails today.
Events include cycling and paddling
tours, canal festivals and concerts at the
waterfront. Sponsored events are just a
few of the more than 400 events that take
place each year along New York’s canals.
The Erie Canalway National Heritage
Corridor and the NYS Canal Corporation
are proud to partner with communities
and organizations to ensure a lively and
fun season along the canal. Now through
fall, these events offer great ways for
people to explore and enjoy the canal.
Events are a significant contributor to
the $380 million in economic impact
generated annually by canal-related
tourism. This investment in event
sponsorships is expected to be matched
nearly 10 to 1 by local sponsors and
attract 64,000 people. The world-class
festivals and sporting events held on
the canals attract thousands of visitors
to upstate New York and are a boon to
local economies. From mariners and
cyclists to food and wine enthusiasts,
there is something for everyone to enjoy
this season. For a full list of events visit

It’s exciting to fill garden rows with seedlings
each spring that we often forget if all goes
well, our backyard garden will probably grow
more vegetables than we can eat! Here are
some tips to unload your extra produce:
Donate to local food banks. Not all food
banks are set up to accept and distribute
perishable food. Call around to find one that
can make use of your garden excess. It's a
great feeling to know your extras will go to
families who need it.
Sell at the farmers market. Search
around for markets that welcome home
gardeners with bumper crops.
Set up a swap with other gardeners.
Check around early in the season to get an
idea of which friends and neighbors are also
gardening. Make plans to compare notes at
harvest time, so you can trade your extras.
Check out freecycle.org. This site is
organized by region to let people swap
unwanted items for free. Once you join
(it’s free) you can post messages to let
“freecyclers” know you’ve got garden
produce to give away.

51st Annual Phelps Sauerkraut Festival

FRIDAY-SUNDAY, AUGUST 3-5 • PHELPS FIREMEN'S FIELD • ONTARIO STREET • PHELPS
The Phelps Sauerkraut Weekend is supported by many community
organizations. Everyone is working diligently to bring exciting events
and old festival favorites to the community of Phelps! The weekend
promises something for everyone!
Although sauerkraut is commonly associated with Germany, Phelps
was one of the world’s largest producers of the fermented, sour-tasting
cabbage. Sauerkraut Weekend proves the town’s passion for the
topping with creative recipe contests, kraut-eating contest and a silly
contest where you decorate a cabbage head. Even when the cabbage
isn’t in kraut form, they still find ways to have fun with it. Cabbage car
racing and a massive parade are only just the beginning of this proud
tradition.
The Phelps Sauerkraut Festival began in 1967 with a one-day program
(home of Silver Floss Sauerkraut). The Chamber started the festival
because Phelps was one of the largest producers in the world.
Eventually, the community took over the various aspects of this festival
with the support of the Silver Floss Sauerkraut Company (now Great
Lakes Kraut Company — a part of Agrilink, Inc.) and Birds Eye Foods.
2013 saw the reformation of the committee. Again composed of
community organizations, they expanded the festival into a village-
wide four day event which includes the Mustang Rally of the Finger
Lakes at the community center, Arts in the Park in Methodist Memorial
Park, the downtown Public Market Place, events at the American Legion,
and Ontario Street carnival rides and community booths. The Seneca
Sauerkraut Factory, located at the west end of Main Street, was sold to
Seneca Foods of Waterloo and the building was demolished in December
1994. The Silver Floss/Empire State Pickling Company, located on Eagle
Street in Phelps was sold to Curtis-Burns Inc. of Rochester in September
1965. It was then sold to Comstock Foods. Canning ended in 1985, but
cutting continued in Phelps and eventually went to Shortsville and
Gorham. For more information visit phelpsny.com/sauerkraut-weekend.

Ontario County offers it all
Ontario County is a picturesque region filled with rolling hills,
pristine waters, quaint towns, history, recreation and adventure. It
is the heart of the Finger Lakes Region and a premiere destination
spot for year-round, remarkable exploration. It is home to a myriad
of activities and attractions, antiques stores and shopping. Inspiring
galleries exhibiting artistry, craftworks and entrepreneurship can
also be found. Theaters, music and a variety of museums showcase
local culture.
The beautiful Finger Lakes wine region' wine trails are open year-
round for tasting and touring. According to newyorkwinerytours.
com, New York is the nation’s second largest producer of wine,
and the Finger Lakes region has some of the finest vineyards. This
acclaim shows in their award-winning wines that you can sample
and purchase on the wine trails. Locally the New York Wine and
Culinary Center, renamed New York Kitchen, is a wonderful place
to sample local wines and beers, take a hands-on cooking course,
watch demonstrations and dine on local flavor.
Known for some of the state's best natural scenery, Ontario County’s
striking beauty can be experienced through the numerous state
parks, forests, lakes, cascading waterfalls and deep gorges, miles
of shoreline and nature centers. Experience the beautiful hiking
and biking trails and great fishing. Whether you desire camping,
golfing, multi-use trails, or just picnicking on the shore, this glacial
sculpted area is an outdoor-lover’s paradise.
The countryside of Ontario County is full of farms and orchards
yielding a bounty of flavor to taste, pick and enjoy. In the summer
season, numerous farmstands are overflowing with fresh produce,
baked goods, plants and flowers.
The town of Naples, known as “Grape Country” to residents, brings
forth a succulent dessert treasure known as grape pie. People come
from far and wide to delight in this unique treat.This famous dessert
is also featured at the Naples Grape Festival, held each September,
brings thousands together to celebrate the fruit of the land.
With hundreds of registered historic sites and landmarks, this
is a region rich in history and heritage. Native Americans named
this area “The Chosen Place,” for its lush land, and abundance of
natural resources. Later, slaves found freedom through many of
the Underground Railroad stations throughout the area, and the
early roots of the Women’s Rights movement formed here as well.
Explore another piece of the historical past at Ganondagan State
Historical Site, home of a vibrant Native American village from over
300 years ago — tour the site, walk the trails and learn about days
gone by for this previous Seneca community. While there, take in
the Seneca Art & Culture Center which tells the story of the Iroquois
contributions to art, culture and society.
Ontario County hosts a multitude of special events throughout
the year. Annual fairs and festivals abound. From wine to music,
art to agriculture, dance to religion, cars, boats and food, there is
an event for every taste, pleasure and interest. The Ontario County
Fair celebrates everything that makes our community special!
Dedicated to the promotion of better agriculture, better industry
and better education of today’s youth, fun at the fair is always a
top priority and good food, fun carnival rides, live music and
entertainment are around every corner. The famous Historic Hill
Cumorah Pageant is one of the oldest outdoor pageants in America
that tells the story of how the Mormon religion began. The Phelps
Sauerkraut festival is all about sauerkraut, with savoring smells and
flavor. The Pageant of Steam in Canandaigua celebrates everything
tractor and farm related.
When you are done exploring the region’s wonderful offerings,
there is never a lack of respite in Ontario County. From resorts
and country inns, to cozy bed and breakfasts, to historic hotels
and lakefront restaurants, Ontario County is home to plenty of
comfortable places to rest, dine or just relax throughout this top
retreat-destination.

up for in character. The Finger Lakes Land
Trust preserves this collection of upland

Ontario Pathways
The Trail is a 23-mile rails-to-trails project
located in Ontario County. The Trail is
composed of two "legs" that connect
Canandaigua, Stanley, Seneca Castle,
Orleans and Phelps/Clifton Springs.
The trail is open to the public year round
for hiking, bicycling, horseback riding,
and cross-country skiing. No motorized
vehicles allowed. No charge for use of
the trail.
The Ontario Pathways trail is built on
abandoned railroad beds. This makes it
mostly flat with only gentle hills except
for a couple of detours around private
property. The surface is primarily grass
with a bare single track of packed cinders
down the center. In heavily wooded areas
the grass is shaded out leaving just the
packed cinders. For bicycling a mountain
bike or hybrid is preferred over a skinny
tire road bike. Ontario Pathways, Inc. is a
private, non-profit organization with over
300 members. The organization owns,
develops and maintains the trail property
on a volunteer basis. There are no paid
employees. Funding for preservation of
the land and development of the trail
has been raised by the organization via
memberships, fund drives, fund-raising
events and donations from private
individuals, organizations and businesses.

Cracker Box Palace
Farm Animal Haven
P.O. Box 174, Alton
About 300 acres of the farm are woods
crossed by creeks, 108 acres of orchards
and over 100 acres of crops and hayfields
that make up the beauty they call home.
When Cracker Box decided in 2009 to
purchase the farm, they also took on
the preservation of the land. They met
with the Department of Conservation to
develop a forestry plan and it was then
partnered with Genesee Land Trust to put
in place an easement that would protect
the land and farm for the future to remain
just as it is now. Events are offered in
the woods and land for tours, horseback
trail riding events, hiking, snowshoeing
and camping. Genesee Land Trust also
offers walks and hikes throughout
the year. www.geneseelandtrust.org,

[THE GRAND CANYON OF THE EAST]

LETCHWORTH STATE PARK
BY CR RAE | MORE CONTENT NOW

The Grand Canyon of the west in Arizona is an awesome sight to

see. However, you may not know the east has its own grand canyon,
Letchworth State Park.
Established in 1907, the park is in Castile, New York, and was a gift
to the state from William Pryor Letchworth, a retired businessman.
The property was Letchworth’s 1,000-acre estate known as Glen Iris.
Throughout the years, Letchworth worked to preserve the history of
the land and opened much of the property, including a museum, to
visitors. To get a look at Letchworth’s history visit the museum, walk
the Council Grounds, enjoy a meal at the Glen Iris Inn (Letchworth’s
residence) or visit the historical sites throughout the park.
Today visitors seek to discover what the park — now more than 14,000
acres just west of the Finger Lakes — has to offer: rich history, nature,
scenic views and activities. In 2015, Letchworth was a USA TODAY
Readers Choice winner for best state park in the nation.
Activities
The canyon’s scenic backdrop offers a view like none other for those
whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Genesee River. With 66 miles
of trails, the park is a hikers paradise and offers plenty of areas for
biking, camping and horseback riding. For those not wanting to take
to the trails, the views from multiple stops along the park roads are
spectacular, and pull-offs are easily accessible by car. Looking for a
view from a higher elevation? Seasonal balloon rides are available.
Letchworth offers opportunities for fishing, hunting, swimming and
picnicking. It is a “carry in, carry out” park: Whatever you bring into
the park, including your picnic trash, you take out of the park. There
are no garbage containers.
Seeking colorful leaves? The canyon views are spectacular in the
first two weeks of October, as are the scenes on the park’s nearby
country roads.
Winter activities include snow tubing, cross-country skiing, ice
skating, snowmobiling and horse-drawn carriage rides.
Nearby
Make the park your home away from home and take some time to
explore the surrounding areas. Some suggestions include spending
a day at Niagara Falls, taking in New York’s wine region, including the
Grape Discovery Center in Westfield (www.grapediscoverycenter.
com), or wandering the shop- and restaurant-lined streets of small-
town New York in Ellicottville, home to Holiday Valley Ski Resort. Both
Niagara Falls and Salamanca, near Ellicottville, offer casino resorts,
Seneca Niagara and Seneca Allegany.
Also, Buffalo is about 60 miles from the park and has a lot to offer,
from gardens and sailboat rides to touring Navy ships, world-class
restaurants, arts, sports and Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino.
This park makes for a great place to visit no matter what your
definition of fun is. Its three waterfalls are not to miss, as well as the
canyon. Spend a few days roughing it at the campgrounds, renting
a cabin or lodging at the Glen Iris Inn, and all the fun and beauty is
at your doorstep.
For more information on the specifics for hunting, fishing, rafting,
balloon rides, cabin rental, camping and park rules, visit nysparks.com,
letchworthpark.com or call 585-493-3600.
