Syracuse, NY, here we come!
Rocco and Roberta Mangano have invited us to the Festa Italiana Syracuse, Syracuse NY, Sep 16-17 2023 https://festaitalianasyracuse.org/
This opportunity popped up at FreakOut so we are still working out the details.
At this time, Luis and I are leaving early Friday September 15th and heading to the Corning Museum of Glass. I very much want to participate in one of the “Make Your Own Glass” experiences. Depending on the experience, they last from 15 to 40 minutes.
Check out the Corning Museum of Glass https://home.cmog.org/
From the museum we will head to the hotel and check in.
Base Hotel:
Hampton Inn & Suites Syracuse North Airport Area
1305 Buckley Rd, Syracuse, NY 13212
Saturday & Sunday morning, Rocco and Roberta will have guided drives around the Finger Lakes area. A vineyard tasting experience and/or lunch may be part of the Saturday drive. Sunday’s drive will end at the festival. If we have a good number of Italian cars, we will have an area at the festival to park. If only a few cars show, we will park in the private lot at Rocco’s office, 2 blocks from the festival. The lot holds about 15 cars,and has plenty of space to set up chairs and tables if you want to tailgate.
If you think you may be interested in joining us, please let us know and we will keep you posted. At this time, we are taking a straw poll to see if we have enough people interested to make the event viable and interesting.
