The eXplore! producers and Sponsors believe that Central New York is a wonderful place to live. That we a blessed with a abundance of Natural Beauty not only in our parks and wilderness areas but also in our Cities Towns and Villages. There are so many things to do from outdoor sports and activities to parts, festivals parades and tourist attractions. We also have ordinary people doing great and interesting thing. We celebrate that in each episode of eXplore! and encourage others to join us. The photo contest is one of the ways we do that.
