The official after the Arts Council Home Tour party, called Tioga Tales, replaced the traditional auction at the Elks. The show was designed in a \u201cradio\u201d format in the style of the popular \u201cPrairie Home Companion\u201d with local skits and news loosely and seldom connected to truth and fact. It was a hit with the patrons filling the Tioga Trails Caf\u00e9 at 5 p.m. last Saturday. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Old Coot, Merlin Lessler, read a classic selection; Historian Emma Sedore wrote and read a charming poem and story about the local legend, \u201cOld Joe\u201d DeWitt; and Tom McEnteer left the audience smiling with his rendition of OFA graduate, Washington Gladden\u2019s story, \u201cSanta Claus on a Lark.\u201d

Greg Neff\u2019s music was a special hit including classic songs by Cat Stevens and James Taylor. Stories included; the retelling of the Clinton-Sullivan Expedition as a caravan of undocumented migrants, the story of how the Owego Village cannon was blown up firing a salute to celebrate Franklin Roosevelt\u2019s nomination, and a complaint about \u201call that winning\u201d by the OFA Women\u2019s Volleyball team.

This zaniness was sponsored by Southern Tier businesses from the past such as Kilmer\u2019s Swamp Root Herbal Remedy, the Owego Cruciform Casket and Cabinet Company, and by Newark Valley Ladders, \u201cOne Step Closer to Heaven.\u201d 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tioga Tales players included Phoebe Morris, Marie Ward, Fran VanHousen, Tamara Gates and Pat Loewe.

Some local events, like the Mafia Summit in Apalachin, were celebrated in hideous song when Peter Gordon corrupted Beach Boys classics as Tioga Girls, Help Me Belva (Lockwood) and The Little Old Mobster from Apalachin:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little old mobster from Apalachin(Go Joey, go Joey, go Joey, go)Has a pretty little mansion in Apalachin(Go Joey, go Joey, go Joey, go)But parked in the mud cover\u2019in up their wheels
There\u2019s a brand new fleet\u2019a black automobiles.

This performance was a first draft of the Arts Council\u2019s effort to support local storytellers, poets, musicians and historians. Let\u2019s call this an effort to support non-permanent art, the oral tradition. Beware, just like the Terminator – \u201cwe\u2019ll be back.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
