In 1829, Sam Patch, the first American Daredevil to jump Niagara Falls, unsuccessfully jumped the roaring Upper Falls in Rochester.  In honor of that spirit of adventure, we invite APA members to come to the 2025 APA Daredevil Wayzgoose in Rochester, New York.

Ranked #9 on U.S. News & World Reports’ list of the Best Places to Live for Quality of Life in the U.S. in 2023-2024. Rochester has one of the most lively letterpress scenes in the country, including: Flower City Arts Center’s huge book arts program; Virgin Wood Type manufacturing; Dry Inc. letterpress supplies and print shop; Type High Letterpress shop, classes and sales; the fabled RIT Cary Library/makerspace letterpress lab; plus several other commercial letterpress shops and studios. You will be able to visit nearly all of these during the goose, plus Buffalo’s Western New York Book Arts Center, and Syracuse’s Boxcar Press are just a short drive away.
