Celebrate Larry Sprinkle's 40 Years of Weather Forecasting at Schiele Museum April 5

TV weatherman Larry Sprinkle is celebrating his 40th year at WCNC, and is stepping away from forecasting the weather. He’ll still be on air with WCNC, but in a new role, including feature stories and community involvement.

Mark the occasion at Larry Sprinkle’s Super CELLebration on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at 10 a.m., at The Schiele Museum, 1500 East Garrison Boulevard, Gastonia, North Carolina.
