The original piece now hangs at the station but the response to the artwork itself has been tremendous! Though we have created reproductions for events, and have made others available in social media contests, there has still been an ongoing demand. So, in commemoration of the 50th Anniversaries of the Moon Landing and Sesame Street, we thought we’d share it in print form, for you and perhaps a child or grandchild. Enjoy!

3 Q&A with a WXXI CORPORATE SPONSOR THE HUNT FAMILY has been making wine for the public for almost 40 years, but they’ve been farming in the Finger Lakes for seven generations. Alongside their reputation as award winning wine crafters, they also have a long tradition of community engagement and environmental stewardship. WXXI connects with Director of Brand Evolution, Suzanne Hunt, to learn more. Q. What makes Hunt’s wines distinct? We craft a really diverse selection of wine so that everyone can fnd something they enjoy. Our love and care for this farm really comes through in the character of our wines. Q. What impact has climate change had on your farming practices? Intensifying unpredictable and extreme weather patterns present real challenges for growing highly sensitive fne wine grapes. We’re working to both mitigate and adapt to climate change. We’re enhancing soil health through organic amendments, large-scale composting, mulching and the use of biochar. We’ve also invested in effciency enhancements and renewable energy like solar and geothermal systems. We treat our land as a complete ecosystem, where the grapes are sharing space

EVENTS with wildlife and plants. Q. Can you tell us a little bit about your other services/offerings? We have our seasonal café which serves up dishes made from local, seasonal, and organically grown ingredients whenever possible. We also host an array of different events, from workshops to concerts with musicians from all over the country. We offer yoga classes throughout the year, and we’re available for hosting private events. We also have electrical vehicle chargers that are free to our customers. Q. What events can people look forward to at Hunt Country this fall? The frst weekend of October marks the 30th anniversary of our biggest event of the year: the Hunt Country Harvest Festival! It’s everything you’d expect from a Finger Lakes winery in the fall - grape stomping, hayrides, kids activities, music and food, and of course, wine! But we also have some special plans for this anniversary! Q. “Fun fact” about the early generations of Hunt farmers? Founder Art Hunt’s great, great, great Uncle Josiah Prentiss started commercially growing and breeding grapes on Keuka Lake in the 1830s. He’s credited with introducing “grape culture” to this area. In the 1850s, he sent the frst shipment of grapes to NYC, kicking off the “grape boom” in the Finger Lakes.
