Ommegang Is Region’s Top Concert Venue Brewery Draws Top Acts, Up To 5,000 Fans

By JIM KEVLIN COOPERSTOWN

rewery Ommegang had expected 2,500 people at the Old Crow Medicine Show’s performance Saturday, May 25.

Outpacing all expectation, 3,700 showed up.

Most concert organizers might consider any wrinkles associated with that turnout – a parking shortage, lines at the gate – to be problems of success.

Not Simon Thorpe, Ommegang’s president/CEO. “The fact is,” Thorpe was saying a few days later with some consternation, “some people did not have a great time. It’s really very important we address that. That should

not happen.”

“We limit Beerfest to 2,700 people, because we want those 2,700 people to have a good time. That’s what our reputation is,” he said.

While no one was looking, it’s that determination and attention to detail that, in just three years, has Please See CONCERT, A6

EDITORIAL

Paid Parking Essential To Village, But Is It A Tipping Point?

S

eeing empty parking space after empty parking space in downtown Cooperstown day after day last week was eloquent: Some in-county shoppers – how many is unclear – are voting with their feet or, rather, tires.

Their message: So long!

At 3:45 p.m. Wednesday, May 29, there were 45 vacant spaces between the post office and the red light, unheard of at this time of year. At 2:14 Thursday, there were 29. At 12:36 Friday, there were 22. As telling was the block west of the red light, upper Main, where no more than a handful of spaces were filled.

The National Main Street Center has long said that a shortage of parking is a good sign: It indicates pent-up demand. The question is, has Fortress Cooperstown finally succeeded in driving local customers away?

• With the arrival of Dreams Park families Saturday, June 1, an eyeball survey no longer tells you much. Perhaps locals were just getting used to the Pay & Display (P&D) system. As of June 4, only 500 parking permits had been sold, so people hadn’t fully taken advantage of that alternative. Perhaps there’s no need to panic yet.

(We can panic in the fall!)

But there are a couple of things the trustees might do immediately to ease possible P&D downsides: • Create blanket permits for households, not just individuals, and for businesses. Mayor Katz has said $25 “feels right,” but in two-car households it’s $50, and goes up depending on kids with cars. Businesses whose employees need to go downtown are paying $250 for every 10 employees; that doesn’t “feel right”; it becomes an onerous tax.

• Market the parking permits outside the village to make in-county shoppers realize they indeed are welcome. How about

Ian Austin/The Freeman’s Journal

Downtown Cooperstown was eerily empty on Friday afternoon, May 31, after the village’s Pay & Display paid-parking system went into effect.

setting up a table one Saturday outside the Fly Creek General Store, and the next Saturday outside a Rose Is A Rose in Cherry Valley, and selling parking permits to residents there for half-price?

It’s called merchandising, man.

No doubt the trustees are getting inputs and reflecting on the situation themselves. This is new, so they no doubt are open to suggestions/adjustments, as they should be, and have some of their own.

(Point of misinformation: May folks are unaware you can put 50 cents in the P&D machine and buy 15 minutes.)

• Expanding paid parking from the Doubleday lot to Main and Pioneer streets was not a wrong decision to make. Short of revenues, village government has been unable to meet its obligations to maintain infrastructure. P&D alone may garner $250,000 a year.

The major project at Chestnut

Y

and Walnut is underway. This summer alone, the downtown’s dangerous sidewalks will be partly replaced, and Susquehanna Avenue – the world’s walkway to the Hall of Fame Induction – will be resurfaced. Much more will follow.

Combined with new revenues from parking permits, more efficient parking-ticket administration, higher Doubleday Field and boat-slip rentals, and more-thandoubled employee-parking rates in the Chestnut lot, we’re talking about a major extraction of revenue from the private economy for public use.

Not dollar for dollar, but major, and that implies a larger responsibility. The bulk of the money, sure, should go to narrow municipal purposes, but not all of it.

Can some of the $250,000 be applied to downtown promotion?

Can some be applied to developing the shoulder seasons? Can some help underwrite events in

ON THE RECORD

ou will see (Romanticism) in the paintings featured in the show about to open at Fenimore Art Museum, where the internal landscapes of the soul are externalized to one degree or another in the wild vistas of the Catskill Mountains, the Hudson River, and the Rocky Mountains. You will see and hear this passion in the operas that Glimmerglass Festival will present this season as well. If all this is strangely familiar, it is because the Romantic Movement of the late 18th century and 19th century ushered in the modern sensibility. We owe the way we see and understand the world to the artists featured in our wonderful collaboration.

On The

deepest winter? The mayor and trustees need to think beyond asphalt and sewer pipe; they now have the revenues to do so.

Everyone wants paved streets, but the larger goal is a prosperous, varied and sustainable community.

• For Otsego County as a whole, this may be time to adjust thinking as well. “Cooperstown” is not a place, (although there is a village so named). It is an idea – “brand” doesn’t capture the richness, the gut-level appeal that taps into so many strains of American life – with national, even international draw, an asset the village doesn’t own.

Lou Presutti Jr. gets it: He’s developed Cooperstown Dreams Park five miles south and added retail activities to capture as much of the revenue from 55,000 young ballplayers and their families as he can. (Perhaps his recent acquisition of the mansion at 10 Main St. will make his savvy more avail-

able to the Village Fathers/Mothers.)

County Tourism Director Deb Taylor gets it with her “Believe It Or Not, This Is Cooperstown” campaign, which woos visitors to “discover summer’s splendor in Cooperstown and Oneonta, … a multi-season, multi-reason destination.” The Oneonta-based Otsego County Chamber, which is exploring tourism’s possibilities, should embrace a “Gateway to Cooperstown” theme.

And Cooperstown merchants can act, too, and are. Former Mayor Carol Waller and Cooperstown Chamber Executive Pat Szarpa are getting merchants collaborating again. Szarpa and the Otsego Chamber’s Barbara Ann Heegan are launching a “Local First” campaign to promote all local downtowns.

Some individual merchants are thinking beyond their storefronts, too. Tim and Connie Haney, Cooperstown Bat Company proprietors, purchased the competing Where It All Began last month and intend to expand it into a full-service, year-’round sporting-goods store. Tim Haney was explicit: He’s concerned about the decline of the village’s 12-month economy.

Let’s say it: It was a gutsy step for the mayor and village trustees to enact on-street paid parking downtown. So far, however, it is focused on narrow municipal interests. Can the Village Board move beyond that, and use some of the new money for broadgauged community enhancement?

That, of course, is the bigger point in all of this. Paid parking for the sake of it is no one’s preferred option.

Katz and the trustees are a brainy group, no one doubts that.

At issue is their ability to put themselves into more than one pair of shoes. The pair they’re wearing is a pinched fit.

Cornell Professor Anthony Ingraffea, who has done groundbreaking work on methane leakage into the atmosphere, spoke to 250 people Thursday, May 30, at Foothills Performing Arts Center. The event was sponsored by Otsego 2000 and hosted by the City of Oneonta Environmental Board.

C

ornell Professor Anthony Ingraffea recapped his “somewhat famous study” on how methane leakage poses a worse threat to global warming than coal.

Then he broke some news, according to Adrian Kuzminski, Sustainable Otsego moderator, who was among the 250 in the audience Thursday, May 30, in the Foothills Performing Arts Center black-box theater.

There are now “simple mobile devices” that allow measurement of leakage from underground pipelines. “They found these old pipeline systems are leaking like sieves,” said Kuzminski. “This is all new information. Nobody’s ever looked at this.”

Ingraffea finished up with four or five scenarios. “All of them,” except one, put us in the danger zone of runaway climate change,” said the Fly

“He really stunned the audience,” said Kuzminski. “Game over. There’s no way we’re going to avoid catastrophe. This was amazing.”

Then Maggie Hall stepped up, and the duel began. “It was an incredible at-bat,� said Coach David Bliss, who’s coached the CCS girls for 13 seasons now.

In the stands, her mom Anne – flanked by her Line Drives & Lipstick partner Jen Stewart and by Coop ace pitcher Nicole Cring’s mom Julie – shifted tensely to the edge of her seat.

And another; smack.

Foul. By this time, Maggie was hitting Chelsea’s pitches solidly and deep; they were just drifting foul. “Some of them were right down the line and would have gone double or triple,� said Coach Bliss. “An important part of that,� he added, “is it wears down their pitcher.�

Finally, on the 16th pitch, Claflin blinked. “Ball!� the ref shouted, and Maggie ran to first accompanied by wild applause and cheers. Bases loaded.

A second out followed.

Then Nicole – Chelsea had struck her out twice so far this game – stepped to the plate. “Strike!� the ref called. “Ball!�

And then Nicky connected, cranking the florescent green orb out of the park

The Cooperstown crowd leaped to its feet in a great cheer, followed by round and round of applause as Noto, Haggerty and Hall crossed home plate.

When Cring arrived to her teammates’ hugs and cheers, she jumped on home with both feet. “Maggie’s a real skilled player; Nicky’s a real skilled player,� said Stewart, whose son Henry and Maggie were born on the same day. (“She’s the daughter I never had.�) “They worked really hard to get where they are.�

It was three up, three down in the seventh inning, and Sandy Creek – a perennial powerhouse that has won 15 sectionals and five state championships over the years – claimed the sectional title again, 6-4.

The Cooperstown girls, playing as the Redskins for a final season, won the division title for the first time in school history, and never had advanced as far as the Section C finals.

The day after Sheriff Talmadge took possession here and finding several criminals in the jail, he took additional precautions for keeping them there, by adding a padlock to the cell in which four of them were confined. He soon found out that they had been planning to escape, and after carefully watching their movements, he said to one of them a few days since that he “would take charge of the tools which they had on hand.” The fellow gave up a piece of steel and two case knives which had been made into saws. They had a poker with which they could unfasten the clasp that had alone held the door of their cell previous to the addition of the padlock. Once out of the cell they had expected to saw through the bars of the windows and escape.

On Wednesday evening last, as the Fort Plain stage was passing down the road upon the east shore of the lake, the driver fell from his box to the ground, immediately in front of the wheels, which passed over one of his legs in such a manner as to break it in three places. He is expected to recover. The unfortunate man is the sufferer in this instance from the effects of a practice which put in jeopardy the safety of nearly a dozen passengers – we mean that of drinking ardent spirits.

The State of New York last week took formal possession of 600 acres of the George Hyde Clarke estate on Otsego Lake.

The site, which includes historic Hyde Hall, will eventually be developed into a state park and operated under the jurisdiction of the Central New York Commission. The acquisition was made from the proceeds of the state’s $75 million bond issue, approved by voters in 1960 for state park purposes.

The price for the property is believed to be nearly $250,000.

The first executive director of the Otsego County Tourism Bureau says she sees problems as opportunities. “I like to be an optimist. I think of every problem as an opportunity. If you come into a job with a can-do attitude, it rubs off on others,” said Doris Holdorf, the Edmeston resident who started her job in Cooperstown two days ago. Holdorf is the former director of the Business Management Program at Cazenovia College.

A-6 THE FREEMAN’S JOURNAL

Formula For Success: ‘Great Music, Great Beer, Under Stars’ CONCERT/From A1 made Ommegang’s concerts the biggest draw in Otsego County – and far beyond.

Equivalents Thorpe briskly cites are the biggies – Albany’s Egg, Saratoga Springs’ SPAC, The Arena in Syracuse – plus smaller venues in Ithaca and Binghamton.

Echoing Thorpe, Ommegang’s Events Director Tara Aitchison gives this formula for what promises to be an ongoing, if occasionally imperfect, success story: “Great music, great beer, under the stars.” The hill behind the Route 33 Town of Middlefield brewery is “a

We’ve Moved!

Willow Creek Specialties Custom Cabinetry and Furniture Scott Parker, Owner 6131 State Hwy 7, Oneonta (former location of Brian’s Small Engine) 607-433-1686 • 607-433-1687 (fax)

natural amphitheatre.”

What was to follow began in the pre-Thorpe days of 2008 with The Hillside Music Festival. “It was a lot of local bands,” said Tara. “It was mildly successful. A good turnout. A good time.”

She continued, “When Simon came on board, he resurrected the idea. He asked, ‘What do you want to do?’” She replied, “We want big concerts.”

Thorpe credits Aitchison, and an affiliation with Dan Smalls, the Ithaca-based booking agent, with the success that followed. “We tried three different promoters,” said Thorpe. “He understands us; we understand him.”

In summer 2010, Lyle Lovett performed. “It was a huge hit,” said Aitchison, “the first real concert, where we brought in a huge stage.

It was a name. We had a great turnout.”

The brewery followed up in 2011 with the first summer series: Levon Helm, drummer and former lead and backup singer for The Band; Steve “Guitar Town”

Frederick R. lander is pleased to announce that his law office has moved to

Earle, the bluegrass, country, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock ’n’ roll, honkytonk and ragtime of the Avett Brothers. And Lovett did a return performance.

Aitchison’s associate, John Tuchowski, likened the concerts to 1890s “footstomping, high-energy” celebrations hops growers would organize for hoppickers at the end of the harvest.

“We tried to choose music that matches our brand,” said Tara. “We want all the concerts to be small and perfect. We wanted music that would appeal to our area.”

The second season brought Wilco, the alternative rock band from Chicago, and the record turnout to date – 5,000 fans came, their cars filling the cornfields around site. ` While the bulk of concertgoers come from the Albany-Syracuse-Ithaca triangle, a fair number drive up from New York City, depending on the performer.

The Avett Brothers brought a crowd from Atlanta.

Camping is another part of the draw. The other night, there were 950 tents.

“Figure two people a tent,” said Thorpe, “half the fans are camping.”

Bands are learning playing here’s a great experience, too. “We take care of them very, very well,” said Simon.

The Freeman’s Journal

Simon Thorpe against a backdrop of pinpoints showing visitors come to Ommegang from across the U.S. Most are from the Northeast, but there are clusters around the Pacific Northwest, Colorado and Florida.

For instance, he had heard about Wilco’s love of ping-pong, and had a table set up when the band arrived. When Cake arrived later in 2012, the first question was, “Where’s the ping-pong table?”

The success of the concerts – Thorpe sees capacity topping out at 7,000 fans – is part of a bigger picture of growth.

When the president/CEO (former president of InBev USA) was appointed in April 2009, the brewery had been attracting 19,000 visitors a year. That’s more than doubled to 40,000, plus 20,000 concertgoers.

While that’s still a fraction of the Hall of Fame’s 250,000 (down from 410,000 a quarter-century ago), the trends are positive.

In the past, Hall of Fame visitors would discover

Ommegang. “What we’re learning is well of twothirds are coming to the brewery and discover the Hall of Fame,” said the executive.

Looking ahead this season, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals are performing July 25 and The Black Crowes on Sept. 5. A couple more acts should be announced in the next few days.

The concert choices, in Simon Thorpe’s view, reflect the brewery. “It’s Upstate, it’s high quality,” it attracts “the curious … We want to do things that are genuinely exciting.”
