BISCO members (l-r) President-elect and 2014 Festival Chair Art Appleby, President Greg Lund, Board Member Norm Knight present honoree Pat Baker (second from right) with a specially designed plaque and gift certificate to recognize her success in directing the return of the Arts Festival to Brockport’s Main Street after two-plus years of street reconstruction.
Baker essentially served as the festival’s promoter. Baker, who believed she had escaped such a presentation, complimented the presenters on their ability to surprise her and for the gifts, especially the plaque’s wording which reflected her philosophy on serving the community.
“The arts festival is an event created and supported by the service clubs and includes many groups from the community. As such it gains its success from many, not least of all the volunteer BISCO board.”
The 20th Annual Brockport Arts Festival will be held on Saturday and Sunday, August 9 and 10 on Main Street.
