At Steet Ponte Auto Group, we know that our success starts with our incredible team. Every year, one of our favorite traditions brings employees from all eight of our dealerships together for a day of fun, laughter, and well-deserved relaxation at Enchanted Forest Water Safari in Old Forge, New York. Our Annual Company Picnic is more than just a summer outing—it's a chance to celebrate the people who make the Steet Ponte Auto Group such a special place to work. This year's event welcomed employees and their immediate families for an unforgettable day at New York's largest water theme park. Every employee received complimentary wristbands that included admission to everything the park has to offer, including the exciting water attractions, thrilling dry rides, and Calypso's Cove. Throughout the day, our private pavilion served as the perfect home base for everyone to relax, reconnect, and enjoy time together. Employees and their families gathered for a delicious buffet lunch, with refreshments available throughout the day to help everyone stay cool. Of course, no summer picnic would be complete without a sweet treat, so ice cream and popsicles were available for everyone to enjoy as they explored the park. One of the best parts of the day is seeing team members from all eight of our stores spending time together outside of work. While we may represent different brands and locations, we're all part of one Steet Ponte Auto Group family. Events like this strengthen the relationships that help us work together every day to provide exceptional service to our customers. We are proud to continue this annual tradition as a way of thanking our employees for their hard work, dedication, and commitment throughout the year.

At Steet Ponte Nissan, we're proud to once again sponsor the Utica Blue Sox and support America's favorite pastime right here in the Mohawk Valley. Recently, we had the opportunity to bring our partnership with the Blue Sox a little closer to home by hosting a friendly Home Run Derby right here at Steet Ponte Nissan! The competition featured four talented Utica Blue Sox players facing off against four members of our dealership team in a fun-filled showdown that combined a little friendly rivalry with plenty of laughs. While our team gave it everything we had, the Blue Sox showed exactly why they're one of the premier collegiate baseball teams in the region, ultimately earning a 13-9 victory. We'll gladly tip our caps to them this round! The morning was packed with great swings, friendly competition, teamwork, and plenty of memorable moments. Most importantly, it gave us a chance to celebrate the sport we all love while strengthening our partnership with an organization that brings so much excitement to our community each summer. As a proud sponsor of the Utica Blue Sox, we love finding ways to support the team both on and off the field. Events like this help connect local businesses, athletes, and fans while showcasing the positive impact sports have throughout the Mohawk Valley.

At Steet Ponte Nissan, supporting local families and community programs is something we truly value. That’s why we are excited to once again sponsor a New Hartford Little League Tee Ball team this season! Recently, we had the opportunity to attend the league’s Opening Ceremony, where players, coaches, and families from all divisions gathered together to celebrate the beginning of another fun-filled baseball season. The event was a great reminder of how important youth sports are in bringing our community together and creating lasting memories for kids and families alike. One of the highlights of the ceremony was watching the young players proudly march onto the field while being welcomed by the New Hartford Varsity baseball team. From team introductions over the loudspeakers to photos with teammates and coaches, the excitement and energy throughout the day made for a memorable start to the season. There’s something especially fun about Tee Ball season — watching young players learn the fundamentals of the game, build confidence, make new friends, and simply enjoy being part of a team.

The Steet Ponte Auto Group team traded in the showroom floors for the ski slopes on Sunday, March 1st, as employees from across all of our dealerships gathered for our 6th Annual Company Ski & Snowboard Trip at beautiful Gore Mountain in North Creek, NY. This annual tradition has become a favorite event for our team, giving everyone the chance to step away from the busy winter sales season and enjoy a day outdoors together. Employees spent the day skiing and snowboarding across the mountain, taking in the incredible views and enjoying some of the best conditions of the season. After a winter filled with epic snowfall, the trails at Gore Mountain were in fantastic shape. Combined with the spring-like weather and sunshine, it made for a perfect day on the mountain. Whether team members were seasoned skiers or just getting comfortable on the slopes, everyone had a great time enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful Adirondack scenery. Midday, the group gathered for lunch at The Tannery Restaurant, where everyone warmed up, shared stories from the slopes, and enjoyed a relaxing break before heading back out for more skiing in the afternoon. Events like our annual ski trip are a great reminder of how special the Steet Ponte Auto Group team truly is.
