Chautauqua Institute
My wife and I will be traveling to the Chautauqua Institute with a
group for the day, and an evening concert. I looked at their website, but was confused about what type of eating arrangements there are. Are there snack bars or do you need to eat in a restaurant? Can you bring your own picnic lunch,or do you need to buy theirs? Also can you bring a backpack or is it like going to a baseball game where eveyone is searched? Thanks Tom |

Is it one of those fancy drug rehabs for rich folk? Just wondering... Did you even try Google?

Brian K wrote: What is the Chautauqua Institute? Is it one of those fancy drug rehabs for rich folk? Just wondering... Heavens, no! Perhaps you've already taken a moment to look it up yourself, but in case not, It's a 100-year-plus-old center for the education of body and mind. Around the turn of the century (the previous one), chautauquas were a *huge* pheonomenon across the country, with thousands and thousands of people attending lectures, concerts, etc. Read up on it sometime; it's interesting. Besides the original center in NY, there's also still a chautauqua organization in Boulder, Colorado. Here are some links: http://ciweb.org/history.html http://www.chautauqua.com/aboutus_movement.htm Patty |

Chautauqua Institute
what type of eating arrangements there are...
A friend of mine has been there several times, and she told me it has several restaurants, an ice cream shop that also sells some snacks (I don't know the specifics), and a small deli market. Some people bring their own picnic lunches. (Alcohol is not permitted unless it is consumed in a restaurant or in your hotel room.) is everyone searched? Last time she was there (last year) there were no searches. You also might want to check the "meals" info on the FAQ page on the official site, although it's a little vague: http://ciweb.org/faqs.html James |

I know that they offer religious studies, but does it really permeate their other offerings? Their performance series certainly has plenty of mainstream musicians and comedians. Patty |

The center in NY happens to be located on Chautauqua Lake, which is in the middle of Chautauqua County, the western-most county in New York. It's a beautiful spot. I've toured the grounds but have never attended an event there. |
