This is the company’s sixth year sponsoring FES performances.

“It’s wonderful to see these types of community events being offered and we encourage all of our employees and their families to attend as many events as possible,” Maytum said. “We value our partnership with Chautauqua Institution and I hope people of all ages will take advantage of these unique performances in such a beautiful setting.”
