This local event provides the perfect Sun Day opportunity to celebrate the North Country\u2019s transition to a more sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The call to action encourages people to \u201cmake the sun rise on our clean energy future.\u201d In addition to Watts &amp; Wheels programming, Third Act Upstate NY will display a special <a href=\"https:\/\/thirdact.org\/upstate-ny\/2025\/08\/04\/sun-day-wool-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sun Day Wool<\/a> tapestry during the event. Fiber artists from across New York State contributed individual elements to the tapestry that hold their own meaning, including pieces that were knit, crocheted, woven, felted, quilted and more. The pieces will be combined to form a collective work that visualizes and celebrates the sun\u2019s power at the center of the global transition to clean, renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>All are welcome to attend the festivities at The Wild Center from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m on Saturday, September 27, 2025.
