Dear Barn Quilt Land Owner:
The Genesee County Chamber of Commerce is working with LeRoy Village/Town Historian Lynne Belluscio to update the Barn Quilts of LeRoy brochure. Lynne has identified your address as a location that portrays a barn quilt and has requested that our office include your quilt in the printed brochure and website. At this time, I am requesting that you provide your willingness (or not) to have your location promoted by our tourism office as a location for locals and visitors to view your barn quilt. This promotion will result in travelers slowing down in front of, or near your property to view the quilt.
If you agree to being included, I ask that you submit the form below to confirm this by August 9th.
Example of descriptions include:
Sunflower: 9306 Summit St. Rd. This pattern on the Walters' barn at 9306 Summit St., Road, was painted by former Town Historian Irene Walters. This English style barn, built in the 1800s, was moved down the hill and across the creek and attached to the present cow barn in the early 1900s. The farm has been in the Walters family since 1899. The barn was built with a swing beam, large enough to support both the roof and the mow floors without a post.
Over the next couple of weeks photographer Mark Gutman will be out taking photos of your barn Quilt for use in this project should you opt in to participate.
Contact Kelly Rapone or Tasia Boland at the Chamber office if you have questions, comments or concerns. We can be reached at 585-344-4152.
