Steet Ponte Nissan Soccerfest Brings Eight Local High Schools Together

What’s better than a day at the ballpark? A day at the ballpark with your Steet Ponte family! ⚾ This year, the Steet Ponte Auto Group took our team spirit on the road for our first-ever Steet Ponte Auto Group bus trip to see the New York Yankees take on the Boston Red Sox! The idea for the trip came from Kathy Williams of Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln, who did an incredible job organizing and bringing this first-time event to life. We had team members representing almost all of our Steet Ponte stores join us for a day filled with baseball, great food, drinks and plenty of laughs. And Mother Nature certainly cooperated! We were treated to beautiful weather as we enjoyed the game from our group seating area, complete with lunch and drinks. It was the perfect setting to relax, enjoy some baseball and spend time with coworkers outside of the dealerships. While the Yankees and Red Sox provided plenty of action on the field, the best part of the day was simply getting everyone together. With team members from across the Auto Group along for the trip, it was a great opportunity to connect with coworkers we may not get to see every day and enjoy a memorable experience together. A huge thank-you to Kathy Williams for coming up with the idea and putting so much time and effort into organizing such a fantastic day. She set the bar pretty high for our first Steet Ponte bus trip! We’re already looking forward to doing it again—and who knows where the next Steet Ponte adventure will take us! Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our first Yankees vs. Red Sox bus trip such a success. We can’t wait for the next one! ⚾🚌

The start of a new school year is full of excitement, anticipation and plenty of preparation. At Steet Ponte Nissan, we’re proud to help make sure local students have one less thing to worry about! This year marked the 3rd Annual Steet Ponte Auto Group School Supplies & Backpack Drive, and together we were able to donate a total of 576 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to students in our communities. Each backpack was filled with classroom necessities including folders, crayons, glue sticks, scissors, pencils and more. Steet Ponte Nissan, along with our fellow Steet Ponte stores on Commercial Drive, was proud to support students in the Utica City School District. We hope these backpacks help students head into the new school year feeling prepared, motivated and confident. We know that having the right supplies can be the first step toward having a great year! We’re grateful for the opportunity to give back and support the students who will help shape the future of our community. Good luck to all of our local students—we hope you have an amazing school year!

The Steet Ponte Auto Group was honored to once again serve as the Presenting Sponsor of the annual New Hartford Fire Truck Spectacular, one of Central New York's most exciting and family-friendly summer events. Each year, this incredible event brings together firefighters, families, and community members from across the region for a day dedicated to celebrating the men and women who serve our local communities. Best of all, the Fire Truck Spectacular is completely free to attend, making it an event that everyone can enjoy. The popularity of the event continues to grow every year. In fact, attendance has become so impressive that this year's Fire Truck Spectacular was held in the Sangertown Square Mall parking lot, providing plenty of room for the thousands of visitors who came out to experience everything the event had to offer. Guests had the opportunity to explore an impressive collection of fire trucks from departments throughout Central New York, each showcasing the equipment and vehicles that help keep our communities safe. One of the event's most popular attractions was the interactive smokehouse, where children and families learned valuable fire safety lessons in a fun and engaging environment. The day's festivities also included live entertainment, delicious local food trucks, and exciting firefighter competitions that highlighted the teamwork, strength, and skill required in the fire service. From start to finish, there was something for every member of the family to enjoy. As the Presenting Sponsor, Steet Ponte Auto Group was proud to showcase a diverse lineup of vehicles representing several of our dealerships. Visitors had the opportunity to explore some of the newest models from across our brands, speak with members of our team, and learn more about what each of our dealerships has to offer. More importantly, we were grateful to support an event that celebrates the dedication of our local firefighters while bringing the community together for a day of fun, education, and appreciation. Community involvement has always been at the heart of the Steet Ponte Auto Group. Supporting organizations and events that make Central New York a better place to live, work, and raise a family is something we're incredibly passionate about, and the New Hartford Fire Truck Spectacular is a perfect example of that commitment. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the New Hartford Fire Department, the volunteers, participating fire departments, sponsors, vendors, and everyone who helped make this year's event such a tremendous success. We are proud to have been part of another unforgettable Fire Truck Spectacular and look forward to continuing this tradition for years to come.
