2012 Canaseraga fall fest the best yet

Canaseraga, N.Y. — This year's Canaseraga Fall Harvest Festival may have been the most successful one yet.

That is according to Valorie Shay, festival volunteer, who said that Sunday alone drew 1,000 people. That represents the biggest single-day attendance figure in the festival's history.

"Our parking lots were packed and the Hairy Woman (of Klipnocky beauty pageant) was a big hit," she said. "We had 156 cars at the car show, which is our biggest ever. We had between 700-800 people yesterday (Saturday)."

The festival dates back to 1999, when a group of residents interested in economic development in the Canaseraga area started it. Though this year's event featured a record 62 vendors, some of them sold out of their food Sunday.

Shay said this year's festival had no problems at all.

"Everything went smoothly," she said.

Some of the most outstanding events this year, according to Shay, were the car show, Canaseraga Idol, the antique tractor show and, of course, the Hairy Women of Klipnocky beauty contest.

"The Hairy Woman is just a huge hit for the area. People dress up as hairy women and they do a little skit and they get the whole crowd involved. It's always a big hit," Shay said.

The Canaseraga Fall Harvest Festival Committee will have a meeting next week to discuss plans for next year's festival. Organizers are hoping that will be even bigger and better than this year's, which Shay described as a great weekend.

"The weather was good and everybody had fun," she said.
