Pieces of Perry En Plein Air: Art SaleIt is our great pleasure to bring you the Pieces of Perry: En Plein Air 2020 Art Sale. How does it work? In previous years, the works have been offered for sale through a silent auction and reception event. This year, they are being offered for sale online. Purchasers will be contacted to arrange to receive their artwork after exhibiting concludes. Proceeds benefit the Silver Lake Trail! Participating artists generously elect to split or donate 100% of proceeds from the sale of these works to benefit Silver Lake Trail projects. The Perry Main Street Association serves as a custodian for funds raised until they are committed to SLT projects. We are grateful to the volunteers, artists, and sponsors—the Town of Perry & Village of Perry— for their contributions and support! |

Perry's Official Book is Henry Loves Hills |
| Henry Loves Hills is Perry's official book written by Perry native Patrick E. Brennan in response to a competition organized by Read Around Perry, a Rotary-initiated community literacy program with support from the Town of Perry Bicentennial Committee in 2014. It tells the story of a school bus, named Henry, who negotiates the beautiful rolling hills of Perry bringing children to and from school everyday. | Henry, and driver Ed, confront and overcome their biggest challenge taking readers on a trip through a major snow storm. Sally Snowplow helps out. Brennan, who graduated from PCS, based Henry Loves Hills on his experience of a bus ride during the infamous Blizzard of 1977. Dan Butler, a Village of Perry resident and 2015 Perry Chalk Art Festival featured artist, is the illustrator. |

A Recreation Destination
Letchworth State Park has a Perry entrance, just east of downtown. The "Grand Canyon of the East" was voted the #1 State Park in the US in 2015, and includes spectacular 500-feet deep gorges carved out by prehistoric glaciers and the north-flowing Genesee River. There are trails for hiking, biking, walking, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing, guided nature activities, canoing and kayaking, camping facilities, cabins, and a historic restaurant and Inn.Silver Lake, southwest of downtown, is not just home to the legendary sea serpent, but is also a popular destination for boaters, fishermen, and visitors. Along the water's edge, the Silver Lake Institute contains hundreds of year-round residents, many living in a dense, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood filled with historic East lake Victorian cottages.
Near the Institute are an art gallery, several performance halls, a public dock and beach, and the historic Pioneer Grounds (a living museum). Other nearby amenities include a campground, several marinas, a country club and restaurant, and the Charcoal Corral/Silver Lake Twin Drive-In, a popular seasonal establishment. At the south end of Silver Lake lies Silver Lake State Park, a natural retreat with a boat launch. What's missing? Perhaps just you!
