The art trail exhibit will consist of eight classic canoe paddle Adirondack style chairs, and new this year - twelve rocking chair versions. The artists have finished painting and decorating the chairs built by local woodworker Dan Stolzfus. This year’s theme is “Celebrating the General Clinton Canoe Regatta since 1962” and artists will express diverse impressions of the 62 years of the canoe regatta. The finished chairs will be on the streets of Bainbridge for all to enjoy April 24 through May 24, then taken to General Clinton Park to be viewed during the Regatta festivities until they are auctioned in the chamber of commerce tent at 4 p.m. Saturday, May 25.
