	The Finger Lakes is justly famed as one of America's premier wine-making regions. It's also the birthplace of such American specialties as Pyrex, Corningware, the Kodak camera, the IBM computer, and the Xerox machine. It's the Cradle of American Aviation, and the home of the State Fair. The whole point of the Erie Canal was to get to Buffalo, the greatest city in the Niagara Frontier region. For two centuries visitors from around the world have gathered in the spray of Niagara Falls; now they also come for NFL action and NHL excitement. Chautauqua-Allegany is a hilly, wooded region settled long ago by people committed to education and self-improvement. Chautauqua-Allegany was home to Americans as diverse as Nuremberg prosecutor Robert Jackson, "Little House" builder Pa Ingalls, and queen of comedy Lucille Ball. Central-Leatherstocking is home to James Fenimore Cooper, America's first novelist. It's the final resting place of the Cardiff Giant, and the legendary birthplace of baseball. The Thousand Islands-Seaway hugs the inland sea of Lake Ontario and the great river of St. Lawrence. In the nineteenth century it was a summer playground for the rich; in 1812 it was a battleground. The Adirondacks is a land of mountains and water, grand old resorts, Lake George, and Lake Champlain. Winter sports are so good that we've even hosted the Olympics -- twice! British dreams of American empire ground to a halt in the Capital-Saratoga region. With the state capitol, state museum, headwaters of the Hudson, and thoroughbred-racing heritage, Capital-Saratoga is a tiny empire all by itself.
