2012 Cherry Valley Kite Festival

Cherry Valley Artworks was founded to promote the art, culture and rich history of Cherry Valley, to provide a forum for artists and others interested in the arts, and to demonstrate how the arts can generate a sense of excitement and promise that contributes to a vital community.

This weekend, Kite-building artists and flyers from around the country and the world will gather in a beautiful farm field in Cherry Valley to fly their remarkable creations to the delight of both children and adults. The biennial kite festival has become the single largest event in Cherry Valley, attracting over 1,200 people in a single day.

Board President, Kelley Rourke joins us.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
