Celebrate Mark Twain and Support a Local Artist!

In an octagonal study perched high above the Chemung River Valley, Mark Twain penned many literary classics as the crisp, valley air rolled over the lush hills towards a wine stained sunset. This year marks the 175th anniversary of Twain’s birth and the 100th year since his death. To commemorate the 2010 anniversaries, the Chemung County Chamber of Commerce commissioned Finger Lakes artist, Brandi Smith to design a series of caricatures. Two of these poster designs are now for sale – one features Twain holding a book, and the other features his signature cigar toasting with a glass of Finger Lake Wine Country rielsing.
