OKEMOS, MI — Harris Nature Center’s annual summertime fundraiser is back. The Harris Nature Center Foundation presents Turtle Toast 2024, from 7:00-9:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 17.
The annual summer fundraiser will feature live music under the stars at the Harris Nature Center pavilion on Van Atta Road in Okemos. Tickets are $20 each in advance when purchased by Thursday, Aug. 15. At the door, they are $30, cash or Venmo. The low ticket price is due to several event sponsors, so nearly all ticket sales can support the Harris Nature Center. Tickets are available at bit.ly/HNC-TT-2024.
The 21+ event will feature the blues band, The Further Adventures of Fatboy and JiveTurkey. Guests are encouraged to bring a comfy chair and their drink of choice (no glass). Light refreshments will be provided, including gourmet desserts created by foundation board member Ashley Stofer.
Proceeds go to the foundation to help fund special projects at the Harris Nature Center. Recent expenditures include adding a concrete bed, embedded with larger fossils, to the popular hands-on Fossil Dig educational exhibit. The smaller real and replica Michigan fossils in the original sand bed were rehidden in sand on top of the new concrete bed.
