Both traditional and contemporary arts are showcased.

Mohawk storyteller Kay Olan will share traditional Haudenosaunee stories. The Children’s Activity area will feature arts & crafts activities including beadwork and cornhusk doll making. Local wildlife rehabilitator Kelly Martin will be available to discuss wildlife conservation in our bioregion and will present a variety of wild animals including birds of prey. You can participate in a T-shirt decorating workshop with fashion designer Felicia Nicosia. Place a bid in the Benefit Silent Auction (Saturday only).
