Friday, July 7th, 2023 - Mayor's Cup Invades The Strand
 
On Friday, July 7th, The Plattsburgh Sunrise Rotary Club together with the Strand Center for the Arts and Plattsburgh Blues and Jazz are bringing the Mayor's Cup into the Strand Theater as part of the big weekend celebration with a world-class concert with Sugaray Rayford.
Sugaray Rayford is an American soul blues singer and songwriter who combines classic soul melodies with funky R&B grooves, raw blues power, and even a bit of James Brown-style dancing energy. He tours all over the world and is the current heavyweight of the blues.  Sugaray Rayford is bringing his 7 piece band to the Strand Theater for an unsurpassed live performance of dynamite RnB and funk.
Opening up the concert will be Ursa and The Major Key, an indie/psychedelic rock band that can groove.

So come join us on Friday, July 7th at Plattsburgh's historic Strand Theater for an unforgettable night of live music with Sugaray Rayford! Like Sugaray says, "This is not a concert...It is a Mayors Cup Party!" So get your advance tickets online for only 20 dollars http://www.strandcenter.org.

COMMUNITY VENDORS:

 

The Ausable River Association protects the ecological diversity of the Ausable River watershed, for its own sake and for the sake of the people who live, work, and play here. Our staff provide scientific expertise to communities, rebuild stream channel function, restore streamside habitat, and monitor trends in water quality. We bring our knowledge and technical expertise to other Adirondack watersheds, to inform river stewardship and foster collaboration and data sharing.

Our strength is our dedication to working in partnership with our communities. We rely on local knowledge, historical context, and rigorous field science. We work cooperatively with landowners, researchers, outdoor enthusiasts, municipalities, government agencies, and other nonprofits to conserve and restore the valued freshwater resources of the Ausable watershed and beyond.
