Rogers center hosts Winter Living Celebration

Posted

SHERBURNE — Rogers Environmental Education Center will host its 45th annual Winter Living Celebration from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21.

“This winter, we say hello to a new year full of magic and merriment at Rogers. With so much enthusiasm from our staff and excitement from our community, this is our chance to showcase the best of what the winter season has to offer,” said David Carson, Rogers Center executive director.

The event is sponsored by NBT Bank and regional organizations to include Bullthistle Hiking Club and 209th Chapter of Trout Unlimited.

In keeping with Winter Living Celebration tradition, visitors can make crafts in the Rogers Center, watch Stan the Iceman turn ice into works of art, and get up close and personal with local feathered friends by becoming a human bird feeder. Attendees may also learn how to use a cross-cut saw, and roast marshmallows over a campfire.

State Department of Environmental Conservation Officers Jeremy Oldroyd and Michael Burkholder will bring an airboat to help demonstrate safety tips when on the ice.

Those who attend may also have the opportunity to relax on a horse-drawn wagon ride around Rogers Center’s property, admiring all it has to offer, or take a seat and listen to live music by Jenni Larchar and Tom Murphy.

Food and refreshments will be provided by Chenango Bird Club and the Rotary Club of Sherburne, with all proceeds to benefit Friends of Rogers.

Rogers Center is operated by Friends of Rogers Environmental Education Center, Inc., a non-profit organization that offers educational programs for all ages. Seasonal winter hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
