Celebrate the outdoors at Saturday’s May 8th Point Au Roche State Park EcoFair. Due to New York state budget cuts, the Park will be closed for the 2010 season. Sponsored by the Friends of Point Au Roche State Park, the EcoFair is an opportunity to enjoy and explore the Park’s 800 acres of woodlands, rolling meadows, scenic walking trails and stunning lakefront before public access is curtailed.
Activities run from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM and include a host of programs from nature walks and scavenger hunts to hands-on activities making snow shoes and bucket gardens. There will be live owls, live performances, free healthy snacks, and displays and demonstrations from twenty-five organizations and businesses. LCC Staff Scientist Mike Winslow will be on hand to give a noon natural history talk and provide information on lake issues at a 2:00 PM panel discussion.
