The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) will host its fourth annual Festival of Peace Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008 from 1:00 to 5:00 in Upper Nyack, New York. The popular event, which has attracted more than 400 residents of Rockland County and the lower Hudson Valley for the past three years, is FOR’s open house. The community is invited to enjoy the beautiful grounds of Shadowcliff, tour FOR’s national headquarters and learn more about the mission and programs. This year the theme of the festival, “Peace in the Human Family/Peace with the Earth,” will be celebrated with live international music, poetry, performance art, special activities and entertainment for children, plus a mixed media art exhibit and sale that features the work of local artists.
