PERRY — Fun time in the summer is set to go in Perry this 2014 with a Chalk Festival and of course a farmers market with great entertainment.
The Summer Saturdays Arts Series is made possible with funding from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and the Arts Council for Wyoming County. Additional support comes from the Wyoming County Farm Bureau, local businesses and citizens and through generous donations of time on the part of performers. All performances are from 10am-12pm unless otherwise noted.
