It was an early morning send off as our NSC group traveled to the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. Upon arrival they boarded the Colonial Belle Canal Cruise vessel and passed through one of the 57 barriers that level the water by 566 feet from the mighty Hudson to Lake Erie, this was an awesome experience.

They traveled along the beautiful Canandaigua Lake, a fresh water lake that is sheltered within vineyard covered hills in a replica of a 19th century paddle wheel aboard the "Canandaigua Lady” steamboat. They strolled through the Arbor Hill Grapery where they attended a wine and cheese tasting.

Dinners were held at the New York Wine & Culinary Center, Historic 1808 Holloway House and the Belhurst Castle. The Belhurst Castle ambience was magnificent which included a wine tasting. A GOOD time was had by all.
