The Rye Nature Center has declared this year’s Oktoberfest fundraiser a resounding success, raising more than $274,000 for the center’s environmental education programs and conservation efforts.
That record-breaking achievement was coordinated by a 26-member committee, supported by more than 60 sponsors and vendors who contributed $25,000 worth of goods and prizes.
Committee chairs Sasha North-Clauss, Laura Furnary, and Catie Bave were praised for their leadership in organizing the event.
