The founder of Goodsir Nature Park, is inviting the community to his renowned botanical park on June 21st, to celebrate its 34th anniversary.
Jim Good, who founded the park in 1989, said the most rewarding thing in the world to him is being able to witness people enjoy everything that Goodsir Nature Park has to offer.
He hopes that hundreds of community residents will stop by Goodsir Nature Park on the evening of June 21st to help celebrate its 34th anniversary.
As always, the park will be open for the entire day (admission by donation) for self-guided tours, with celebrations kicking off at 6 p.m.
There will be complementary refreshments and snacks provided for park visitors, a cake-cutting ceremony followed by a speech from Jim Good and a few distinguished guests.
To help celebrate the occasion, Steve Baker, a local musician, will be performing a one-hour concert from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., playing a wide variety of hit songs from the past four decades. Many of the songs can be found on records located within Good’s music museum, which where he has collected 40,000 records in the museum.
Goodsir Nature Park is Good’s lifelong passion, which he operates as a non-profit funded through donations and volunteer work.
However, his health has been extremely volatile and unpredictable lately, so organizers say this concert fundraiser is an opportunity to raise a few more extra dollars for the park, while highlighting the work Jim has poured into Goodsir Nature Park over the past 34 years.
Friends of Jim Good also started a GoFundMe to support Good’s financial struggles as he recovers from a recent infection, which raised over $10,000 in just five days.
Goodsir Nature Park is located at 22825 Old Summit Lake Road North.
