Cultural Tourism Program Changing Colors: Fall Festivals of the
Upper Catskills Highlights the Region's Abundance of Autumn's
Events
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y.,
Changing Colors: Fall Festivals of the Upper Catskills, a cultural tourism program organized
by The Farmers' Museum, promotes nine consecutive weekends of
special events during September and October, celebrating the
riches of the fall harvest and the natural beauty of the region.
The program covers Otsego, Schoharie, Chenango, and Delaware
counties.
The Farmers' Museum, with the help of its partners, received
funding for this project from the Cultural Tourism Initiative,
a program of the Arts & Business Council Inc. and the New
York State Council on the Arts.
"Changing Colors provides a website and calendar
of events that tourists and locals alike can turn to when planning
a wonderful day trip or overnight stay in our region during the
most beautiful time of year," said John Costa, program coordinator.
"This year, we have enhanced the program with the addition
of new events and broadened the breadth of our offerings, which
gives our visitors and residents a comprehensive listing of all
there is to see and do in the four-county region."
Autumn is a special time in the Upper Catskills-spectacular foliage,
a delicious harvest, and an exciting array of events for the
whole family. Home to both national and regional attractions
offering a rich variety of entertainment, Changing Colors
festivals provide an endless bounty of things to do throughout
the season. For a complete list of partnering organizations,

Come visit Cooperstown, NY,
for some spectacular fall foliage
 Summer
does not mean the end of fun in Cooperstown, NY. In fact, many
prefer the fall season with its spectacular fall foliage, fewer
crowds and the chance to see a great village return to its normal
quiet self after hundreds of thousands of summer tourists have
returned home.
The special chill in the air,
a glass of great cider at the Fly
Creek Cider Mill, the rustling of the leaves along one of
America's most beautiful Main Streets
and the strength of community pride
at a local fair are just a few
of the reasons to visit Cooperstown during the fall foliage season.
The countryside with its newly
colored mountains, hills and wide open land are every bit as
scenic as the much heralded Vermont and New Hampshire -- with
slightly less crowds.

color to an already colorful village -- Main St. in Cooperstown.
