SHERBURNE — The Friends of Rogers Environmental Education Center, located at 2721 State Route 80 in Sherburne, will be hosting their 47th annual Winter Living Celebration from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 1.

The annual celebration of the season of winter aims to showcase the activities and educational opportunities Rogers has to offer, as well as show attendees the many ways to enjoy the outdoors during the colder months.

This year's event will feature many traditional staples to the Winter Living Celebration, including ice rescue demonstrations by Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Officers and Forest Rangers, horse-drawn wagon rides, ice fishing demonstrations, crosscut sawing, fly-tying with Trout Unlimited, live music, and more.

Child-focused crafts and Cornell Cooperative Extension's 4H and Grow, Cook, Serve programs will be in the Bird Cabin as well. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing will also be available for free, weather permitting.

Friends of Rogers Executive Director David Carson said the organization is partnering with the Oneida Indian Nation this year to provide traditional Haudenosaunee winter activities, including oral storytelling traditions, crafts, and a basket weaving activity led by Shako:wi Cultural Center Cultural Programs Coordinator Jessica Farmer.
