Day 15: Cazenovia, NY

Day 15: Cazenovia NY and our second event in 2 days. Cazenovia is a beautiful town, with a lake and revitalized downtown to attract visitors. It's also home to the best library in New York.

We had the Community Room for our event, a large space which gave us opportunity to spread out the phases of our event. We were looking at the clock and when there were 2 minutes to when the event was to start and there were no people, we were worried that no one was going to attend.

Imagine our surprise when an administrator from Cazenovia College arrived with 11 of her students and an assistant! Connecting US 20 was an opportunity for the students to do a community-focused event as part of their studies.
 
The students paid close attention to what Sal was teaching and were diligent and thoughtful in their book and selections during Phase 2 of the event. They did some beautiful work that will be shown in our exhibition at the VAC in Newport starting June 9.

Thanks to the students and teachers from Cazenovia College for their enthusiastic participation and to Cazenovia Public Library for the space and promotion of Connecting US 20.
​
We get a 2-day break before our next event in Erie, PA. We have a lot of US 20 to cover before then. Hopefully the rain from the last 3 days has passed and we’ll get to see the sun today. Oregon is not the only place getting deluged these days.
