The Flower of Remembrance

Making artificial poppies is a long-standing tradition and today we all pitched in to help the local Veterans Affairs assemble poppies. Close to 400 poppies were assembled and we had a good time sharing stories and remembering our own experiences with the symbolic poppy.

Today at Clark Meadows, Katherine McGrath lead the Music History series with a new topic.  Great Conductors, such as Marin Alsop, Lorin Verncove Maazel, Herbert von Karajan, Juliette Nadia Boulanger, and Fritz Reiner were featured.  So interesting to learn about the different styles and what all those hand gestures and arm motions mean!

Fiddlers of the Genesee

Fiddlers of the Genesee

Fiddlers of the Genesee brought the tradition of "old-time fiddling" to Ferris Hills last Saturday.  The club was founded in September 1991, after being inspired by the Genesee Country Village & Museum’s "Fiddlers’ Fair." 

Residents and guests were greatly entertained by 20 musicians playing stringed instruments including a primarily fiddle, viola, guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro, hammered dulcimer and bass. There were instruments that some had never seen before, but hope to see again very soon.

Fiddlers of the Genesee had everyone clapping hands and tapping feet.  The energy in the room was amazing!
