The Vestal Historical Society’s “ World Series Presentation”

The Vestal Historical Society is inviting the community to a World Series Presentation, a Fun-filled journey through the World series. This free event will take place at the Vestal Museum on Sunday, April 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM.
This presentation will take listeners through fact-filled journey of the World Series. Presenter, Steve Jeremko, will cover names and places of the past – heroes and scapegoats – highs and lows – top dogs and underdogs… the ins and outs – and everything in between.
In Major League Baseball (MLB), the National League (NL) has been around since 1876. The Modern Era of baseball began in 1901 when the rival American League (NL) formed in 1901. It was only natural then, for there to be a “world championship” contest between the two leagues
Baseball’s World Series is the pinnacle for the two top teams in each league that successfully fought off all other contenders over a long, hot summer of day-by-day contests. Because the series is played in the autumn season in North America, it is often referred to as the “Fall Classic.”
The event is Free and open to the public!

In a fresh twist, area-renown poets take the stage to perform with interpretive musicians with “The Verb Takes a Walk: Poetry Meets Music,” on Sunday, July 23, at the Lansing Performance Hall from 3:00 to 5:00. Featuring Peaches Gillette, Brooke Lange, Daphne Sola, Adin Luca, and Mike Finn, it promises to deliver poetry and music interactions in a memorably unique way.

“During Beatnik times, poetry and music hooked up,” according to Mark Zuss, former poetry professor and organizer of this Savage Club sponsored event. “But since those Kerouac days, this whole genre has been largely lost.”

Each of the “mixed media” readings that afternoon involve readings of diverse original poetry that is matched with live musical or other artform accompaniments or interpretations of that poetry. One of the many highlights is a reading by the 95-year-old poet, Daphne Sola, who will be followed by a high school protégé.
