Whether you’re in the mood for a community get together, craft night, or film festival, there are folks behind the scenes making these area events happen. Teams of people hard at work every day to put together fun events in communities throughout the Mohawk Valley. Why do they do what they do? It’s all about you!

Recently, we went to a fun event at the Herkimer County Historical Society. Not only did we have a blast, we met the Assistant Director, Peg Warner, who made us feel so welcome and shared  lots of interesting details about Herkimer history that were complete surprises. Honestly, we could have listened to her all night.

This is what we find at events throughout the Mohawk Valley. The folks behind the scenes are making things happen for people like you to bring people together and have fun.
