We found this vintage Geneva G at a recent book buying appointment and framed it up for the Panthers section of the Water Street Cafe team room. If you have Gevena team memorabilia you think belongs on the Panthers wall, let Teresa know. If thinking about what belongs on the wall makes you hungry (or if you're curious about what HWS Herons and Statesmen items are already displayed) head on down to Water St. Cafe

From 11 to 3 pm on July 11, Geneva Business Improvement District hosts it's Summer Art Walk. Stop by Stomping Grounds to meet Dee Calvasina, author of 'Beyond the Fence: The Amazing World of Deer Haven Park." This book tells the story of the former 3,000-acre Seneca Army Depot in Seneca County. It uncovers the land's local history, military legacy, and wildlife. While you're downtown stop by other local shops to see various displays by visiting artists. Learn more by visiting the BID page.

If you've never tried custom framing, this issue of the Stomping Grounds newsletter is for you! In addition to walking readers through different options and opportunities at the frame design table, this issue welcomes a few new businesses to downtown Geneva, plus shows off fresh products added to the Stomping Grounds inventory in June. Last, our resident crinimologist, Barrow, offers a book review in which the famous gal detective, Nancy Drew, is put on trial. "Drat!" (P.S. if you subscribe to receive the newsletter by email, lots more pictures of framing jobs and new products are included.)

Each of these pics shows one of the vents moderating the temperature at Stomping Grounds. Last summer we limped along with old units that couldn't compete with the heat. This summer we are feeling thankful for a whole new HVAC system. If you need a reprieve from the weather, come on down and spend some time browsing.
