28. Art that Matters to the Planet - Fulfilling Roger Tory Peterson’s Mission.

At the Roger Tory Peterson Institute, we believe that art matters to the planet.

The Roger Tory Peterson Institute (RTPI) celebrates art inspired by the natural world. Contemporary artists engage with nature in different ways, and with a variety of messages. Art can be a personal source of healing, inspiration and reflection. It can also instill in the viewer a sense of wonder, promote environmental stewardship, encourage systemic change, or facilitate conversation.

Roger Tory Peterson devoted his career not only to art, but also to activism on behalf of the environment. As the father of the modern field guide, Peterson’s artwork offered a way for readers to discover the beauty and wonder of nature. Throughout his career, he also helped us understand the impact of human activity on nature. He told us about threats birds were facing, warned us of the consequences of inaction, and affected change on behalf of the environment.

Today, Peterson’s continuing influence as an artist, naturalist, and activist is evident in the artistic practice of contemporary nature artists. Through their process and resulting work, they promote a connection between society and nature in hopes that we are inspired to preserve it for generations to come. Like Peterson, they help us explore, discover, and fall in love with the natural world.

RTPI carries on Peterson’s legacy by nurturing the next generation of artists. RTPI presents exhibitions by artists who encourage us to look more closely at nature, so that we might better appreciate it. They share knowledge about nature to help us better understand the world around us. They raise awareness about environmental issues in order to foster dialogue and promote change. The resulting dialogue between the artist and viewer speaks to the intuitive and transformational power of their art. Come discover Art that Matters to the Planet at RTPI. Our annual signature exhibition, Art that Matters to the Planet: Interconnectivity, opens June 24. Inspired by emerging science about the underground web of roots and fungi which connects trees and plants, this exhibition features artists who explore the ways in which trees serve as a metaphor for our relationship with nature, and with each other.

45. THE CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY FAIR in July!!!

It’s going to get loud at the Chautauqua County Fair.

The county fair’s dates are July 18-23. Motor events will dominate this year’s grandstand events.

The demolition derby is returning to Tuesday. Last year it was held on Friday night after being a Tuesday night staple for many, many years.

Fair Board member Dave Wilson said the drivers requested the first derby return to Tuesday. The grand finale is set for Sunday. “I guess they needed more time to pound out their dents,” he said with a laugh.

Winners in the Tuesday heats automatically qualify for the Sunday derby’s final heat, where the grand champion of the county is crowned. The grandstand seats are an additional charge while the bleacher seats are free.

On Wednesday will be the Cross over the Line Rodeo, with bull riding and barrel racing. Wilson said they’ve had bull riding in the past and it’s been a fan favorite.

For those who haven’t been to a rodeo before, the Cross over the Line Rodeo is a small sample of what the Gerry Rodeo offers in August. Wilson said they have a good relationship with the Gerry Rodeo and didn’t want to have an event that would negatively impact the August rodeo. He said the Gerry Rodeo organizers support the bull riding at the fair.

Thursday will be another popular motor sport with the return of the Empire State Truck and Tractor Pull. The truck and tractor pulls have continued to be popular among fair goers. “As long as things make noise, everyone is happy. Chautauqua County Fair people want noise,” Wilson said with a chuckle.

The motor sports continue in the grand stand on Friday with the return of the Black Cat Hell Drivers.

According to the driver’s Facebook page, the Black Cat Hell Drivers pride themselves on keeping an American tradition alive that dates back to 1934. during their 70 minute show you’ll see classic thrill show stunts including:

• Multi-car precision stunt driving

• Two wheel stunt driving

• Several Hollywood style car crashes

• High speed reverse spins

• Motorcycle stunts

• Thrill show clown

• Their 1937 Dodge sedan jump ramp to ramp

• And much more.

The Black Cat Hell Drivers have been to the county fair, but not recently. “It’s something a little different. It will almost like the old Joie Chitwood Show,” Wilson said.

The Cross over the Line Rodeo, the Empire State Truck and Tractor Pull and the Black Cat Hell Drivers are all free with a paid admission to the county fair.

Saturday at the grand stand will be the Krazy Train Monster Truck Show with Bob Robbins Jr.

Wilson said there will be fireworks at the show timed to some of the monster truck’s jumps. “It’s cool. Even the Monster Truck driver loves it,” Wilson said.

Like the demolition derbies, there is a charge for the grandstand seating, while the bleacher seating is free with paid admission. Sunday is the demolition derby finale show at 4 p.m.

MINI-STAGE

If you want more than motor sports, the mini-stage will be where its at. While the schedule has not been finalized, there are some new acts coming to the county fair.

According to Craig Moore with the county fair, Agricadabra is coming to this year’s fair. He does two different shows, one for magic and the other is a hypnotist show. “For the hypnotist Agricadabra magic, his father has been here years ago, but now his son is doing the show too,” he said.

There will also be a puppet marionette show. According to Moore, the performer will be doing a “circus show with puppets,” including clowns and a tight rope walker.

There will be local performers as well, including a karaoke act, a martial arts demonstration, and some local dance studios will be on stage as well.
