Inspiration 2024—A Grand Opening for Everyone

Sunday: June 2nd from 11:00 to 4:30

 

Now that the state officials have finally cut the ribbon on our new interpretative center, the Sterling Nature Center is planning a grand opening for everyone on Sunday, June 2nd, from 11:00 to 4:30.

Now in its 24th year, Inspiration was organized by our first director, John Weeks, to celebrate arts and nature.

This year, we are using Inspiration as a chance to have a special celebration for our Friends of the Sterling Nature and the general public who have supported us for the past 25 years. Also, Inspiration 2024 will honor longtime “friend” Don Cox and many others who contributed to making the Sterling Nature Center a reality.

Inspiration 2024 will feature a day of music, food, a children’s tent, face painting, a Craft Fair, an art exhibit, and a silent auction. This year’s festival will feature the dynamic sounds of the Oswego Jazz Project, SUNY Oswego’s faculty jazz group presenting a concert of original compositions and jazz standards. Back by popular demand will be local favorites The Ukuladies. Additionally, singer and songwriter Megan Hook's “Bright Forever” will be performing.

Come out on June 2nd, visit our new center, and enjoy a day of music and great natural beauty.

Volunteers/Silent Auction:  We can always use volunteer help. And if anyone is interested in volunteering or has something to donate for the Silent Auction, please contact Christine at sncvolunteers2021@gmail.com.
