Our County, Our Community

Where the Oswego River meets the WIDE Ontario shore,
A community is BUILT on something deeper, something more.
Through the BITING winter winds and the changing of the year,
The TRUE warmth of the county is the people living here.
From Fulton down to Phoenix, from the LAKESIDE to the hills,
It’s a Quiet local kindness that PROTECTS against the chills.
When a neighbor LENDS a hand to keep a LOCAL pantry full,
Or HELPS a struggling family, that’s the TRUE Oswego pull.
For the STRENGTH of Central New York is NOT found in brick or stone,
But in KNOWING in this county, No One has to stand alone.
When you “Give Back” to your city/town, You KEEP the harbor light aglow,
And you NOURISH fields of HOPE right here in the HOME we+ALL+know.

Thank You So Very Much.
