There are 62 fiber glass cats along Main Street and West Bridge Street in historic downtown in the Village of Catskill. Each cat was hand-painted by a local artist and is sponsored by the businesses of Catskill. The festival comes to an end in September when the cats are auctioned off at the Cat’s Meow Auction and Gala. A few of the whimsical sculptures to look for are “Americat”, “Caddy Cat”, “Cinematic Cat” and “Cat Tales”. Take a walk through the village, bring your camera and see if you can spot all 62! This is the second year the Heart of Catskill Association has done the exhibit after the positive response from last year’s sculptures. <\/p>\n If some of the fiber glass horses you see scattered around Saratoga and Schuylerville this summer look familiar, you’re eyes aren’t deceiving you. After being carefully stored away for the winter, the horses from the 2007 show are back for public viewing. Seven of the 34 will be missing, however, because they are being showcased outside of Manhattan’s Museum of Natural History as part of their exhibit “The Horse”. <\/p>\n While in the downtown Albany this summer, make sure to look for the 18 new original and abstract works of art on display. These large pieces can be found in the area’s business and entertainment districts and will remain there until April 2009. Fourteen different artists constructed the sculptures out of steel, plywood, iron, stainless steel, fiber optic lights and wood. <\/p>\n Fourth of July EventsAlbany CountyJuly 4Independence Day at Schuyler Mansion – Enjoy an old-fashioned July 4th celebration on the Schuyler Mansion grounds.
