28. attend a Chautauqua

Chautauqua:

• a resort town in upstate New York


• a circuit of tent shows at the turn of the twentieth century, kind of a revival for the mind


• a present-day cultural and educational institution in Chautauqua, New York (like summer camp for adults)


• a modern phenomena of cultural and educational programming for summer entertainment, featuring scholar-actors portraying historical characters

I will be attending a Chautauqua of the last variety, the Heartland Chautauqua in Pike County. I think I'll put the Chautauqua Institute on my Life List....
