Schoolhouse rental for Birthday Party
We’re excited to share a wonderful collaboration with local resident and artist, Sharon Furda. As a frequent hiker and longtime visitor to our trails, Sharon feels fortunate to have a place to "trail walk and enjoy nature near my home."
Inspired by her time in the McKaig woods, Sharon will be showcasing her original paintings at The Gryphon Cafe in Wayne from October 5th to November 1st. As a token of her appreciation, she will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the McKaig Nature Education Center!
You’re invited to the opening reception on October 5th 4-6pm. The exhibit will continue from Oct 5th through Nov 1st.
We hope you‘ll stop by The Gryphon Cafe 105 W. Lancaster Ave. Wayne to enjoy Sharon’s beautiful work and support both a talented local artist and McKaig’s mission.
