'It's been our goal this year in the art club to give back to the community. I figured what better way to do that than to have an event where you can donate actual food items to those who are in need, ' said Kurtis Mullen, art teacher at Canisteo Greenwood School.
All of the items donated during the event will be given to the Canisteo Community Food Bank. Those who brought a donation to the event had the opportunity to choose a papier mâché bowl to take home.

Not quite 90°, but we will come close. Take it easy in this heat. Cooler weather and rain on the way.
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – Warm air for the next couple of days. Well-Above average warmth is back. The sun will be rather filtered because of the wildfire smoke across the central Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. This could bring down our temperatures and even cause air quality problems across New York. By the end of the day Thursday we will look for a cold front to come into the Tiers carrying with it showers, and thunderstorms that may be marginally severe at times. Then once again, we will end up in a rainy pattern to start the weekend. We then hope for a break, for at least a day to recoup on Sunday with the sunshine, but the showers come back Monday.
