The community is invited to come Walk the Labyrinth in this age-old spiritual practice of quiet reflection. Calm your body, mind, and spirit as you walk the Labyrinth. This circular labyrinth, modeled on the one set into the floor of the Chartres Cathedral in France (1194-1220 A.D.), will be open to people of all ages and faiths, and is handicapped accessible. This is an indoor 40ft across labyrinth that is 1/3 of a mile walk inward and then another 1/3 back out. It is walked in candlelight with a background of meditative music. Walking a labyrinth is a form of body meditation that can serve to quiet, restore, and center oneself.

Want to try curling?
The Finger Lakes Curling Club offers several Learn to Curl sessions each year—usually two in the fall and two in the winter, with occasional additional sessions in the spring.
Each Learn to Curl session lasts for two hours and consists of an off-ice introduction to the game, about 45 minutes of on-ice instruction, and then about an hour of putting those newly learned skills to work in a practice game.
The club provides the instructors and all the necessary equipment to curl.
Already signed up? Here’s what you need to know:
Bring soft-soled sneakers to wear on the ice. We’ll provide grippers to go over the sole of your shoe.We recommend dressing in layers for warmth, loose-fitting pants rather than jeans, and hats and gloves.
Bring a water bottle.
The cost is $35 per person (ages 18+).

Evan Horne is a singer/songwriter based in Ithaca, NY. Raised in Oak Ridge, TN, with a singing minister father and a watercolor and color pencil artist mother, Horne was surrounded and suffused by art and music throughout his upbringing. The roots of music in the American South resonate deeply through his unique voice which emerges as at once hauntingly timeless and fully his own. Horne’s music and live performance have been described as “incandescent”, “cinematic”, and "soul scorchingly beautiful".
We will tell stories and then be interrupted by a Mummers' play, and then crown a monarch of mis-rule.You can tell a story if you'd like!
