1998

A Summer Symphony in the Chautauqua Sky


This 1998 Pops poster was the first one.  It began a series, to date, of 21 colorful and whimsical posters created by artist, Dan Wintermantel who owned Studio 4 East in Alleghany NY. Each unique poster will be featured in the coming weeks.  



"In 1998, I was introduced to Dan Wintermantel.  His work was very unique, classy and stylish.  I explained to him what I was hoping to accomplish as we developed the Bemus Bay Pops program.  Dan's style and creativity has provided us with a clear and unique identity.  Dan also created many other artistic images and designs that identifies us to this day.  His creative genius contributed to our success and brand.  Dan was very dedicated to our efforts and the beauty of his art is that it lives on forever."

Circa 1907

The Easter Bunny is a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter depicting as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs.  




Originating among German Lutherans, the "Easter Hare" originally played the role of a judge evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behavior at the start of the season of Eastertide.


                                         Happy Easter from the Chautauqua Lake Pops!
