After the end of the Conference on Saturday afternoon, there are plans to organize a half-day trip for participants of the Conference. This will be of particular interest to visitors from out of town, especially those who would like to stay over Saturday night to take advantage of reduced airfare. The trips will be one or both of the following, according to response from participants. There will be a nominal fee to cover cost of transportation. If you are interested in these trips, please indicate your preference on the Registration Form.

• a wine-tasting tour of the Cayuga Wine Trail in the Finger Lakes Region, and

• a visit to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown.

Cayuga Wine Trail

A van will take participants from the University Campus to Cayuga Lake which is about one-and-half hours away. We'll be visiting 2-3 wineries where participants can savor the wine and the scenery. Here is a description from the Cayuga Wine Trail website:

“The Cayuga Wine Trail is located in the Finger Lakes region of New York and is a journey through tradition. We're building on a five thousand year winemaking heritage with 21st century ideas and technology. Our levels of production range from 3,000 gallons to 85,000, offering you an array of different wines and winery experiences. We invite you to savor the tranquility and beauty of Cayuga Lake and it's lovely rolling hills, waterfalls, and glens. Come lose yourself in a relaxed way of life where only time, the sunny days of summer, and the crisp breeze of autumn create the perfect conditions for the remarkable grapes that create our sensational, award winning wines.”

National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown

Transportation will be provided for participants from the University Campus to Cooperstown which is just over one-and-half hours away. Here's a description of the famous sports shrine.

“Located on Main Street in the heart of picturesque Cooperstown, New York, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is one of the country's major tourist destinations and is surely the best-known sports shrine in the world. Opening its doors for the first time on June 12, 1939, the Hall of Fame has stood as the definitive repository of the game's treasures and as a symbol of the most profound individual honor bestowed on an athlete. It is every fan's “Field of Dreams” with its stories, legends and magic to be passed on from generation to generation.”
