Vision: The vision for the Friends of the Three Bears is to fully utilize the Seneca County Courthouse Complex buildings and become the heart of the community for fine arts and education, and as a hub of tourism for the Finger Lakes Region. Mission: The mission of the Friends of the Three Bears is to preserve the buildings known as the (historic Seneca County) Courthouse Complex, implement art, music and other educational programs/events and provide historical building tours and area information to visitors. The Friends will accomplish this through fundraising and community outreach.
Hello Friends,
Happy Summer! We are partnering with Dutch Mill Bulbs to do a Fall Bulb Sale! Dutch Mill provides a wide variety of bulbs including daffodils, tulips, crocus, hyacinth, iris, and more. The fundraising site will launch on June 22nd and the sale will run through September! Once the website is live, we will have brochures with order forms available to pick up at Mama Bear during open hours from 12 to 2pm Thursday- Sunday, and at all of our art classes and concerts. We will also post ordering information on our website and social media, so sales can be completed remotely as well!
