Chamber Events Calendar

The Greater Cazenovia Area Chamber of Commerce serves as a community calendar clearinghouse. The clearinghouse is an effort by the Chamber to function as a central focal point for maintenance of a community calendar of events for the greater Cazenovia area. By acting as a clearinghouse for public events planned in the community, by service clubs, municipalities, churches, schools, colleges and various other organizations it is hoped that these groups will maximize attendance at their events, by minimizing conflicts. Community event planners are encouraged to check the online calendar or to contact the Chamber office for feedback on possible conflicting event dates.

Show Through Sunday August 17, 2008 For more about the artist & show, visit: www.gallerycny.com The Gallery of CNY, 58 Albany Street in Cazenovia The paintings included in 'VIEWS' reflect Mary Padgett's year-long endeavor to record the seasonal imprint on her View from Damon Road and to explore her changing View of the use of pastel. The paintings each capture the changing light, color, texture & density of the landscape. The pastel strokes, lines & marks - pastel in its purest form- each demonstrate the ephemeral, energetic & abstract quality of this seasonal change.

Cazenovia Counterpoint Presents: The Wizard of Words: The Wit and Wisdom of Yip Harburg. Featuring Syracuse native Karen Oberlin (nee Oberbrunner), with pianist Tedd Firth and bassist Phil Flanigan. Wednesday, July 30, 7:30 PM @ St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Cazenovia. Tickets: $15 regular, $12 students/seniors (available at the door).

 The New York Times said, "Ms Oberlin's singing, in a voice that is slightly lighter than Ms. Day's (Doris Day), has the same purity, naturalness and polished phrasing, with added colors and a jazz spontaneity. ... Ms. Oberlin's calm, beautifully shaped reading in the classic pop tradition was one that Ms. Day in her prime might well have envied."
