Yay! It’s finally here…The Painted Barrels Exhibit and Auction in Finger Lakes Wine Country begins today. I’ve been getting more and more excited as new barrels have been added to the web site. More than 30 barrels painted by local artists in the Finger Lakes are on showcase throughout the region. The fact that most of the barrels are located at a winery is even more reason for excitement. Once there, how could you not go into the tasting room? There’s no charge to look at the barrels and if you happen to fall in love with one, you can take place in an online silent auction that began today at 10:00 am. I already have my favorite picked out but it’s hard to pick just one!
Finger Lakes Wine Country Tourism Marketing Association has extended an opportunity for fans of the Painted Barrels to win a Finger Lakes Wine Country Experience Package. When you go around to see the barrels on display, take a picture with the works of art. Compile your photos on a CD and send them into Finger Lakes Wine Country at 1 West Market Street in Corning, NY, 14830. You have plenty of time to visit all of the barrel sites as the auction will run through October 11th and the CD can be sent in up to October 16th.
For more details about the auction, go to the Painted Barrels web site. Even if you’re not planning on buying a barrel, it’s fun just to go see them throughout the region. It’s really a free art exhibit that adds something special to your already favorite spots in the Finger Lakes region.
