Luke took a few days off work around Valentine's Day and we were due to get out of the house and out of town. It's hard in these winter it takes a worth while event to make it happen. Most festivals in this area are put off until better weather for fear of a lousy…
Drink It In: 2300 revisited
For those of you who are newer to my blog my first "real" post of A. Greene's Adventures was last year at this time about a local event at the Corning Glass Museum called 2300 (see 2300 degrees ). 2300 degrees is a free event sponsored by the Corning Glass museum every third Thursday night from…
Smoke on the Water
This past Saturday afternoon we chose to check out yet another local event. We drove up past where Luke works to Hammondsport for Smoke on the Water, a local BBQ competition benefitting the fire department. I have mentioned Hammondsport on one other occasion (see stars hollow, fireworks, and minions) but if you didn't get a chance…
Taste of Ellicottville
After a week back home re-seettling into our normal routine, we realized we had an long standing plan to go with a co-worker of Luke's and his wife to a tasting festival Saturday in Ellicottville. We had high hopes for this tasting event, enough to make it worth getting up early on our day to…
Racefever and local BBQ
Last Thursday Luke and I decided instead of hitting the treadmill at the Y we would go on a walk downtown to check out Racefever. We weren't completely sure what Racefever was exactly celebrating. But we know we live very close to Wakins Glen, a city on the waterfront of Seneca lake that is…
Strawberry Festival: an up and down outing
This past Saturday, Luke and I decided to go for a drive to a little town called Owego NY for their 33rd Annual Strawberry Festival. We took a scenic northern route to get there driving through small towns and farmland. Once we arrived downtown we struggled to find any form of parking and decided finally…
Glass Fest!!
Glass Fest, a four day festival in the Gaffer District, is downtown Corning's biggest annual festival. It kicked off Thursday with the last 2300 degrees event of the season during which the Corning Glass museum is open to the public for a free concert and glass art demonstrations. Friday night started Rock the Park, a weekend series…
Cabin Fever
Every year during the dead of winter the Gaffer District hosts Cabin Fever: a wine/beer tasting event hosted in the storefronts along Main Street. This year Cabin Fever was postponed because of a snow storm, leaving us stuck inside for the month of February (ironic ? yes). So we anxiously waited for the chance to…
