August 12th and 13th – NEWARK VALLEY DAYS in the historic Village of Newark Valley. Friday night at the Train Depot, 6-8 PM, enjoy the fun, high energy Dixieland Jazz sounds of the DixieKats. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the warm summer evening listening to this popular band. On Saturday, visit our expanded craft show on the Green. This year we have booked 3 musical acts for the Village Green, Night Sounds, Martymann Band and Nate Tabor, so we will have music on The Green from 9:00AM until 4:00PM. Due to the generosity of many local businesses, Cool 100 will be doing a live remote broadcast from the site. We will have a wide variety of crafts for sale. Food will be available from Cardinal Cafe and Down to Earth Whole Foods. Parking areas are being made available by the generosity of some of our local churches and businesses. Signs will be placed at the entrance to those areas. We still have a few craft spaces available. If you are interested please call Dennis Carlin at 642-9552 to obtain an application.   Visit the quilt show at the Congregational Church and the Art show in the Village Hall. Or head up to the fire station and check out the car show.  Watch the new and expanded parade on Main Street at 11AM and then head over to the Train Depot for more music, games, activities and the Library Book Sale. Cheer for your favorite duck at the Rubber Duck race at the Trout Ponds and try your skill at the corn on the cob eating contest near the depot. Cap off the evening at the Trout Ponds listening to Sleepyhead from 7:30-9:30, which leads right up to an exciting fireworks display after dark. So set aside the date and prepare yourself for a day filled with fun and activities for the whole family. We want to thank everyone involved in Newark Valley Days for making this year the biggest and best. We look forward to seeing all of you on August 13th, don’t forget to bring your friends. This project is made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts™ Decentralization Program administered locally by the ARTS of the Southern Finger Lakes.
