Ricky's to run park eatery

This summer, a new venue will replace Balloons Restaurant and Catering's usual summer restaurant service at Emerson Park.

Cayuga County began awarding bids three years ago for restaurants to provide a full-service restaurant on the dining room side of Emerson Park's pavilion when it's not used for other private events.

For two years, Balloons has hosted guests dining prior to Merry-Go-Round Playhouse shows or just enjoying dinner on Owasco Lake.
