Annual Lake Fest is Saturday
By MICHELLE MILLER
Staff Writer
The Otsego Lake Festival
has become an annual summer
tradition in the Village
of Cooperstown. This will
mark the fourth year of the
event, which will take place
Saturday from noon to 5 p.m.
in Lakefront Park.
Sponsored by the Otsego
County Water Quality Coordinating
Committee (WQCC),
the Otsego Lake Festival is a
day of educational outreach
with a focus on water quality,
as well as a celebration
that recognizes Otsego Lake
and its vital role to the region
as the source of the
Susquehanna River.
The Festival will feature
non-profit groups in the region
that support water quality
initiatives.
Exhibits will detail local
efforts to improve and safeguard
Otsego Lake and other
water resources throughout
Otsego County.
Otsego Lake Festival
planner Susan O’Handley
said the festival is a fairly
small and intimate event
that is nice occasion for people
to have fun and learn
about water quality all at the
same time. She said last year
was the first year the sun
came out to join the festivities,
resulting in the best
turnout to date.
``We are hoping for that
again this year,’’ said
O’Handley.
O’Handley said she believes
the Otsego Lake Festival
is an important event
because it gives people the
opportunity to get to know
more about water issues and
the organizations involved
with water quality.
She also said it gives people
a chance to learn how
they can make a difference.
``I encourage people to
come because water quality
is such a critical subject,’’
O’Handley said.
