On Deck in Catt. Co.

 

For the 2^nd straight year, Griffis Sculpture Park will transform into a mystical nighttime show like no other.  The park already beautifully combines art with nature and attracts visitors far and wide, but now you can see it in a whole new light.  A portion of the park will be creatively dressed up with lights, illuminating the trails and sculptures with colorful and theatrical ambiance, offering a truly almost surreal experience.  Adults and kids alike will appreciate such a unique and magical experience as they walk the pathways guided by light.  Brought to you by the folks at SitlerHQ and Volt Vision, Inc.  For times and admission costs, click over to the Griffis Park website.

 

 

 

Plan on joining the fun on Allegany’s Main Street for the 9^th annual Bonagany Festival, celebrating the friendship between the village of Allegany and St. Bonaventure University.  Held during Bonaventure’s annual Family Weekend, the festival showcases the best of the university and offers a great opportunity for parents to get out and enjoy the community.  Bonagany 2014 will feature artists and artisans from around the region, live musical entertainment, food from festival-favorite vendors such as Fowler’s Taffy, free inflatable amusements for kids to enjoy, games for all ages, and free wagon rides up and down Main Street.
