The 2012 Rensselaerville Festival of Writers will feature Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Galway Kinnell, Writers Institute friend and retiring New York State Legislator Jack McEneny, UAlbany English professor Tomas Urayoan Noel, Lizz Winstead who co-created the Daily Show with John Stewart, and many others.
No doubt there will also be spontaneous tributes to Rensselaerville's best-loved resident, the late Andy Rooney, who passed away last November.
Other attractions include hiking in the Huyck preserve and the village itself.
