Winterfest set to take stage in Skaneateles January 31

Skaneateles, NY – Skaneateles Sunrise Rotary Club announces WinterFest 2009 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, January 31 at the Skaneateles Community Center.

Every January the Skaneateles Sunrise Rotary Club helps the Skaneateles community celebrate the snowy season through the coordination of its annual Winterfest, inviting area residents to enjoy a winter day in our village.

Skaneateles Sunrise Rotary coordinates the mid-winter celebration as a service to our local community. Net proceeds from related fundraising will support Rotary service projects and other charitable causes, including Rotary Youth Exchange, Rotary Group Study Exchange, the Ecumenical Food Pantry, Sea Scouts, Water Projects and The Rotary Foundation, and other worthwhile charitable causes and projects.

Events at Winterfest 2009 will again be centered at both the Skaneateles Community Center and throughout the Village Center.
