MT. TREMPER, N.Y., August 7, 2008 – Emerson Resort & Spa, a Silk-Road inspired respite in the Hudson Valley, is gearing up for fall. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in the colors of the region with packages designed to highlight the tastes, sights and comforts of the season. Opportunities include The KaleidoKreations event and package offerings for those interested in constructing and admiring the unique art form. The Fall Splendor Package encourages guests to explore and rejuvenate while taking in the area’s kaleidoscope of foliage. Additionally, guests will find a patchwork of colors during the resort’s Material Things exhibit, put on by the Manhattan Quilters Guild.
KaleidoKreations is a week long event taking place from August 30 to September 7 on-site at Emerson Resort & Spa. There will be a dedicated tent featuring Kaleido-entertainment with a series of seven interactive user-friendly scopes. The experience will include a large wheel scope, giant telescope, wand scope, spin art and the human kaleidoscope projector.

Kaleidoscope artist and instructor Cru Chase will also be on-hand Saturday, August 30 to show children how to make various components of a large five-foot kaleidoscope. Emerson Resort & Spa will showcase the completed masterpiece until the end of KaleidoKreations when it will be donated to a children’s organization. All children’s workshops are free of charge. Room rates at the family-friendly Lodge start at $199.
