SHERBURNE — Saturday, June 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., is the annual Get Outdoors and Get Together Day at Rogers Center. Hosted in partnership with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities, and the Division of Veterans’ Services, this free, open-house style event will include guided outdoor hikes, archery lessons, catch and release fishing, and ecological education programs.

This year, the Office For People with Developmental Disabilities is capitalizing on the statewide celebration of summer to promote ways in which outdoor recreation and adventure can be made accessible to all ages and abilities. The Rogers Center will be showcasing their new electric mobility scooter, designed to help the physically disabled access Rogers Center’s trails and water bodies.

“Partnering with two significant state agencies in the DEC and OPWDD allows us to offer a truly special event to the public,” said David Carson, Rogers Center executive director. “Moreover, we are thrilled to see the combination of outdoor adventure and accessibility. Rogers Center is a place for all ages and abilities to enjoy and learn. Events like this help us to shape that public narrative in a fun and celebratory way.”

Food and drink will be provided by a food truck in the visitor parking lot.
