The third annual Salt Springs Celebration will be held Saturday, September 3, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the park. This day is also the biggest fund raiser of the year for the Friends and supports educational programs.
Highlights this year include an exhibition of original photographs by Artist-in-Residence Renee Coy, Native American storytelling inside an authentic tipi, an expanded schedule of performances by local artists and musicians, and an expanded offering of children's activities – including a treasure hunt, paper making, stream searching, petting zoo, and pony rides. At the silent auction, you can bid on unique items donated by local businesses, artists, and members. In the Friends' new shop, you can purchase a Salt Springs Park t-shirt, a walking stick, or one of the many beautiful notecards featuring photographs by local artist George Schreck. Visit the llamas, indulge in some homemade desserts, walk through the gorge and see the waterfalls, and have a wonderful day among Friends.
The public is invited to a reception for the Friends of Salt Springs' Specialist-in Residence, photographer Renee Coy. The reception will be held at the Wheaton House at Salt Springs Park on Friday, September 2, from 7 to 9 p.m. The evening will include refreshments and a "gallery talk" by the artist at 7:45 p.m.
Renee will be exhibiting about 25 of her new photographs, taken at Salt Springs during the past year. Renee is a life-long resident of Susquehanna County. She is a recent graduate of Marywood College in Scranton and looks forward to sharing her personal views of the park.
Artist Joe DeOrio from Ararat, PA burns some of his art to make room for new work to be shown at his new studio September 10 and 11. “Burning (destroying) my art is very hard to do but it is absolutely the right thing to do. I must detach from the old to make room for the new. It’s a very Yogic thing to do. It is a lesson in non-attachment,” says DeOrio. Mr. DeOrio recently moved from New Jersey to Ararat, where he prepares for a retrospective covering forty years of his art. There will be more burning after the show so some of his work will never be seen again. There will be over a hundred paintings and sculptures exhibited. Mr. DeOrio has won many awards for his work and has shown in many galleries in New York City and the East Coast. His work is collected by many major corporations throughout the US. Mayo Clinic, AT&T, New Jersey Water Co. are a few of his patrons who have bought his work over the years. The public is invited to attend this exhibit. All the artwork will be discounted for this special exhibit. Call (732) 397–0454 for directions.
The Susquehanna County Commissioners announce the Courthouse will be closed on Monday, September 5, in observance of Labor Day. All court related offices will be available.
