Webster community mailbag

13 Nov

Not a huge mailbag today, but there are a few things coming up VERY SOON that I wanted to remind you all about.

Vintage Book Sale

The Friends of the Webster Public Library’s next Vintage Book Sale is Saturday, Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the library, 980 Ridge Road. Shop more than 200 fiction and nonfiction books published between the 19th early 21st centuries. Prices start at $8.

Then, just a few weeks from now, on Nov. 30, the Friends’ annual Holiday Book Sale opens. If you’re looking for seasonal gifts (aren’t we all), you should check out the selection of holiday-themed used books, DVDs, CDs, and jigsaw puzzles (while supplies last). They’ll be displayed in front of the Bookstore inside the Library. The sale runs through Jan 2 and will be open when the library is open.

Proceeds from the sale support the library. The Webster Public Library is located at 980 Ridge Rd., at the rear of Webster Plaza.

Wait, there’s more!

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about our Webster Public Library, here’s your chance:

On Friday, Nov. 20, the library will host a “WPL Information Session” to share information with the public about what staff do at the library and what library services, resources, events, etc. we offer. They’re hoping the presentation will help folks who may be new to Webster or the Webster Library learn about this incredible community resource. Even long-time library patrons are likely to learn something new.

The presentation will be geared towards adults, and registration is required. Please register here.

Help create a cookbook at the Rec Center

Do you have some well-loved family recipes? Consider sharing them as the Webster Recreation Center hosts a “Create a Cookbook” event this Sunday, Nov. 15 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Dustin from ReciScan will be on hand to help create a community cookbook. Bring a few of your favorite recipes, the stories behind them, and optionally, photos of the prepared dishes to include alongside your recipes. A mix of recipes and stories will be chosen for the cookbook. Participants can watch the cookbook take shape, and work together to create an introduction and cover. Share family traditions, meet neighbors, and create a keepsake. (Space in the cookbook is limited, so not every recipe may be included.)

Printed cookbooks will cost $30-$45 each, separate from the participation fee (which is only $5). Book orders and payment will be collected at the event — cash, check or Venmo will be accepted. The finished cookbooks will be delivered to the Webster Recreation Center around Nov. 29.

Cost for the program is $5. Register for program # 341024-A.

Wreaths Across America reminder!

There’s still time to sponsor a wreath (or many) for Wreaths Across America Day on Saturday, Dec. 19. This is a day when the Webster community comes together to place wreaths on more than 2,100 veteran graves in four Webster-area cemeteries.

But before we can place them, we have to get 2,100 wreaths sponsored. Each wreath costs just $17, and $5 from each sponsorship will go directly to the Gold Star Mothers, who care for Gold Star families and veterans in need in our community. Click here for more information and to sponsor a wreath.

Sometime in early December the wreaths will be delivered to Webster Union Cemetery by a Wreaths Across America 18-wheeler, which will make its way through the village to the cemetery. Keep tabs on this blog and my Facebook page to see when we can expect the truck, so we can all cheer it on.

Much more information to come about Wreaths Across America Day.

Will it actually snow this year?

Remember that the Village of Webster’s Winter Wonderland festivities are only a few weeks away.

For those of you not yet familiar with this annual celebration, this is an afternoon and evening packed with holiday fun, including wagon rides, crafts for the kids, cookie decorating, live music, story time, a visit with Santa and lots more, culminating with the always spectacular Parade of Lights down Main Street. I’ll be providing a whole lot more details about this in a week or two, but make sure to get it on your calendar right now.

Chamber eat drink and connect

This tidbit from the Webster Chamber of Commerce:

The Chris Ross State Farm Agency, serving our Webster community with insurance and financial services, hosted Webster Chamber of Commerce members for an evening of networking at one of the Chamber’s Eat, Drink & Connect events. Pictured below (L-R) are Bob Ross, Lucille Ross, Sam Ross, Chris Ross and Chrisanne Ross.

Also from the Chamber: They’re collecting hats, mittens, scarves, gloves, and socks for Webster HOPE. You can drop items at the Chamber office, bring them to any Chamber event, or order them on Amazon.com and have them shipped directly to the Chamber (1110 Crosspointe Lane, Suite C, Webster). Here are some links to make it easy: Amazon.com: : Cushioned Crew Socks and Winter Beanies & Gloves Combo Pack, Bulk Pack for Men Women.

Crazy Is Relative: Webster Thomas High School Presents Arsenic and Old Lace

12 Nov

If you think your family members are crazy, you really have to check out the Brewster family and their particular brand of insanity when Webster Thomas High School presents the dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace in three shows on Nov. 19, 20 and 21.

The play by Joseph Kesselring is a theater (and cinematic) classic. It revolves around the Brewster family, descended from Mayflower settlers but now composed of maniacs, many of them homicidal. Arsenic and Old Lace is a lighthearted and often irreverent take on dark themes firmly rooted in its own day and relevant to current times. Watch Mortimer hilariously unravel as he discovers that the only thing deadlier than poison is family.

The production takes the Webster Thomas High School auditorium stage for three performances: Thursday, Nov. 19; Friday, Nov. 20; and Saturday, Nov. 21, at 7:30 p.m. each night. Advance-sale tickets are $10 (plus $1.90 fee), on sale now here. But they’ll also be available at the door without the fee.

Webster Thomas High School is located at 800 Fve Mile Line Rd.

Here are a few images from the rehearsals:

Santa and Bourbon! A few reminders

12 Nov

I will probably never again use the words “Santa” and “bourbon” in the same sentence again (although I do know of a friend who instructs his kids to put out bourbon instead of milk for Santa on Christmas Eve). But today, those two apparently disparate topics naturally intersect as I remind you of two events happening today — and this weekend.

The first is the Santa’s Christmas Garage Sale, which is taking place today (Thursday), tomorrow and Saturday at St. Martin Lutheran Church on Bay Rd.

This annual Santa’s Garage Sale is one of the church’s biggest fundraisers, raising money to support the parish’s social ministry missions including Santa’s Stocking Project, their Little Food Pantry, and their emergency fund.

This is very popular sale, and when I went by this morning it was packed with shoppers. But I managed to swing up and down the aisles twice, each time finding a new treasure. I wound up taking home three Christmas gifts, a pair of red gloves (planning to use for the Parade of Lights), some tinsel (you can never have enough tinsel), three strings of Christmas lights, a pair of Christmas socks, and a bag of jingle bells. All for $17, and all for a good cause.

I even got a selfie with Santa himself.

But rest assured, there’s still so much stuff piled on the two dozen or more tables in the church’s community room that when you stop by, there’ll be plenty more treasures to be found. There are lots of lights, wreaths, garland, table decorations, toys, manger scenes, holiday glasses and plates, candles, tree skirts, lawn decorations, miniature and full-sized Christmas trees … you think it, they got it.

So make sure to stop by, grab some bargains and support a good cause. The Santa’s Garage Sale will take place at St. Martin Lutheran Church at 813 Bay Rd., on Thursday and Friday Nov. 12 and 13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday Nov. 14 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Now to the bourbon.

There are still tickets available for the Village of Webster’s annual Bourbon Bash, scheduled for this Saturday Nov. 14 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Harmony House, 58 East Main St. At this adults-only event (obviously), several local distilleries, along with Webster Wine and Spirits, will be on hand to offer tastings. Food samples will also be provided to complement the bourbons.

The Bourbon Bash also usually features great raffles and bourbon products for sale. This is a nice opportunity to come together as community for a casual, fun gathering. Click here for tickets. They cost $39.19, which includes the Eventbrite fee. ID is required at entry.

ID is required at entry.

Bloom and Blend is a fresh addition to the neighborhood

10 Nov
Alyssa Connors (L) and Audrina Mussaw, the Webster shop’s manager

One of the main reasons I like to attend the Webster Chamber of Commerce monthly meeting is that I leave with a LOT of local business news. But I especially like finding out about new Webster businesses.

That was the case at the last Chamber meeting, held Friday, Oct. 30, when I got a chance to meet Alyssa Connors and Andrew D’Angelo, co-owners of Bloom and Blend Smoothie Oasis, located at 790 Ridge Rd. The new place is kind of like a wellness cafe, offering a delicious variety of smoothies, protein shakes and bowls, made on the spot with fresh ingredients.

Bloom and Blend isn’t exactly a brand new business, though, having opened about six months ago. But you might not have noticed them yet, since the shop is tucked a little ways back off of Ridge, just west of Five Mile Line Rd., in the old LoTempio shoe repair shop. But even though they’re not in a plaza and don’t get a whole lot of foot traffic, they already developed a stready stream of regulars, who pop for a daily boost as they navigate their days.

The Webster location is actually Alyssa and Andrew’s third Bloom and Blend in the Rochester area. They opened their first location in Spencerport about two years ago, followed by a second in Brockport eight months later. Expanding to the east side was a natural next step, particularly since Alyssa and her husband John were preparing to leave their Spencerport townhouse in search of a forever home. They found exactly what they were looking for in Webster, making it a fitting place to bring Bloom and Blend, too.

When you walk in, it’s easy to see why Bloom and Blend quickly garnered so many fans. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and downright fun. There’s cute signage, a “cozy corner” with a TV and comfortable seating, board games, coloring books and a fish. It’s both family-friendly and dog-friendly, with items on the menu just for the pups, like the “Paw-sy PB Cup” and “Blueberry Bark Bites.”

The human menu is equally tasty, featuring build-your-own and specialty smoothies with a variety of fruit and mixer options, healthy fruit-based bowls, and nine different protein shakes. (I tried the Apple Pie Shake, one of this month’s fall specials. Incredibly yummy.) And if you need something a bit extra, there are juiced shots and chewy energy bites. Click here to see the whole menu.

So basically, it’s definitely worth a stop next time you’re driving by on Ridge. Bloom and Blend is located at 790 Ridge Rd., Webster, between Five Mile Line and Hatch roads, only about eight minutes west of the village. For more information, check out their website here, Facebook page here and Instagram page (@bloomandblendsmoothies), or call (585) 347-4135.

NorthStar Business Funding named Webster Chamber Business of the Month

9 Nov

Congratulations to NorthStar Business Funding, honored as the November 2026 Business of the Month by the Webster Chamber of Commerce. The business was recognized at the Chamber of Commerce’s most recent Monthly Meeting, held Friday, Oct. 30 at the Webster Golf Club.

Carlo DiPisa started NorthStar Business Funding when he saw a problem that needed solving, and decided to do something about it. He was working as a financial planner when business owners began asking him to take money out of their retirement accounts to put into their businesses. Naturally, he’d ask, “Have you talked to your bank?” And he kept hearing the same answer: “Yes, but we couldn’t qualify.”

So, Carlo started looking for other options. He found financing sources that many business owners — and sometimes their banker — weren’t familiar with. He referred a couple of clients who received funding, and he realized how valuable this could be Eventually, he sold his financial planning practice to his partner and made helping businesses find financing his focus. He’s been doing that work since 2015 and launched NorthStar in January 2020.

Today, he helps business owners find funding for things like new equipment, working capital, real estate, and expansion. But what stands out is how he approaches it. He takes time to understand the business and what the owner is trying to accomplish, then helps them work through the options.

And Carlo has learned that you can never assume everyone starts with the same knowledge, evidenced by a conversation he had with one business owner who came looking for expansion funding. Carlo asked for the usual financial documents, including a P&L.

The owner said, “What’s a P&L?” Carlo answered, “A profit and lost statement.” To which the owner said, “What’s that?”

Carlo says very little surprises him after that. But it’s also a good reminder of the role he plays, helping people understand a process they may never have been through before.

NorthStar is a one-person operation backed by Carlo’s more than 25 years of experience in business ownership, finance, and real estate. What he enjoys most is helping business owners succeed, and seeing that success contribute to our local economy. For more information about NorthStar, visit the website here or call 888-882-2248.

The Webster Chamber of Commerce Events and Honors Committee presents a Business of the Month award to one of their member businesses at each of their monthly breakfast meetings. Fewer than 3% of the members are chosen annually.

Even Santa has a favorite garage sale

8 Nov

Bazaars and craft fairs abound at this time of year, hosted by churches and community centers all around our area. But the garage sale hosted this time each year by St. Martin Lutheran Church on Bay Rd. is a bit different; it’s not just a chance to buy gifts for others, but it’s especially good opportunity to pick up some holiday items for your own home.

Plus, it is Santa-approved.

It’s the annual Santa’s Garage Sale, which will take place this year November 12 to 14. The busy elves at St. Martin have been setting up the sale for days already, sorting and pricing donations, and loading up about two dozen long cafeteria tables with holiday lights, wreaths, garland, table decorations, toys, and more. There are even several full-sized Christmas trees.

Here are photos of just a small percentage of the items for sale:

/

The Santa Garage Sale is, of course, a fundraiser for the church. Proceeds will be used to support St. Martin’s Santa’s Stocking Project, which helps spread Christmas joy to those in need around Webster and the surrounding community; the church’s Little Food Pantry, which provides food and essential items to community members experiencing food insecurity; and to bolster their emergency fund that offers assistance to individuals and families facing unexpected financial hardships.

But the sale is about more than that. For the parishioners at St. Martin, it’s a way to spread a little holiday cheer while helping neighbors in need. With everything priced to sell, the sale also offers an opportunity for those on a tight budget to find affordable decorations and bring a little extra holiday sparkle into their homes.

The Santa’s Garage Sale will take place at St. Martin Lutheran Church on Thursday and Friday Nov. 12 and 13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday Nov. 14 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The church is located at 813 Bay Rd., Webster. I understand that Santa himself might actually be there for the while on Thursday morning to welcome early shoppers.

Webster was well represented at the Grocery Run

7 Nov

I can’t remember a time when downtown Rochester was more beautiful than it was Saturday morning. As I ran along the river, the bright morning sunshine sparkled off the water, highlighting the beauty of the downtown skyline.

There’s not much that will bring me downtown (and outdoors) on a chilly November morning, but this was a special occasion: the 17th annual Wegmans East Avenue Grocery Run, hosted by the Third Presbyterian Church. I, and a bunch of my Webster Village Runners buddies, joined almost 2,200 other runners and walkers for the race, which takes participants along East Ave., Court St., Woodbury Blvd., Chestnut St., and along the beautiful Genesee Riverway Trail.

Road races are a dime a dozen, and most of them benefit nonproft organizations. But the Grocery Run takes that mission a step further. Thanks to the race’s many generous business sponsors, which cover all of the event’s overhead costs, every dollar raised through the runners’ entry fees is donated directly to food cupboards. And when participants sign up for the race, they can even specify which pantry they’d like to support, ensuring that their registration fee benefits an organization of their choice.

Webster was well represented this year, with Willink Middle School, Webster HOPE and Webster Community Chest all fielding teams. Webster HOPE alone had 33 runners (including several of us Webster Village Runners).

The Webster Village Runners team
The start of the Boogie for Broccoli dash

In addition to the Grocery Run’s wonderful commitment to feeding the hungry in our communities, this is just a downright fun event. It’s a flat course, and it has something for everyone. For serious runners, there’s a 5K and a 10K. For those not enamored with long distances, there’s also a 1K option. And for the very young wanna-be runners, there’s something called the “Boogie for Broccoli” 50-yard dash, which is just stinkin’ adorable. Plus, it’s famous for its post-race food, which includes macaroni and cheese, chili, pizza, bagels, bagged chips, more cookies and brownies than you could count, chocolate milk, hot cocoa and coffee.

This year’s Grocery Run was a record-breaker, attracting 2,197 runners and walkers, about 400 more than last year. And the fundraising results were just as impressive: nearly $120,000 was raised to benefit the event’s 43 partner hunger-relief programs, also a new record.

So, yeah, it was a bit chilly (temperatures were in the 40s when we started), but the sunshine, camaraderie and great food made for a wonderful morning. I’d highly recommend the Wegmans East Avenue Grocery Run to anyone looking for a fun, relatively easy run or walk that also makes a real difference in the lives of neighbors in need.

Village Quilt Shoppe Fall Fundraiser will benefit Community Chest

6 Nov

Vanetta Parshall and Monique Liberti, owners of the Village Quilt Shoppe in Webster, are trying something new this year, and they’re REALLY excited about it.

It’s their first-ever, month-long Fall Charity Fundraiser, which will benefit the Webster Community Chest. It’s scheduled to run from Nov. 17 through Dec. 17, and will feature not only an incredible fall quilt — which they’ll be selling outright — but also nearly a year’s worth of beautiful, one-of-a-kind shop samples, including quilts, table runners, wall hangings, bags, holiday projects, and lots more. (Almost 100 of them!)

Items will be available to purchase on their website, or in person at their shop at 21 East Main St. in the Village of Webster, or by phone at 585-626-6916. All items will be first-come, first-served basis, and they’re not going to be able to hold or reserve items, so you want to get your favorites as soon as they’re available.

Here are a few more details:

  • Sales Tax: An 8% sales tax will be added to all purchases.
  • Shipping: Shipping is available for a flat rate of $8.95 on orders under $100. Shipping arrangements and charges for orders of $100 or more will be confirmed at the time of purchase.
  • Pickup Deadline: All items purchased for in-store pickup must be picked up no later than Friday, December 18, 2026.
  • Sample Condition: All items are finished shop samples and are being sold as pictured. Quantities are limited to one of each item. All sales are final.

Starting November 17, there’ll be a special Charity Fundraiser link right on the homepage of the website. Just click the link to browse all the beautiful samples available for purchase.

The ladies have already started sharing photos of the available samples on their Facebook page and Instagram (thevillagequiltshopp), and will continue providing more sneak peaks in the days to come. Plus, they’re displaying many of the samples in their East Main St. shop if you’d like to check them out in person. They’ll be adding new samples every two to three days throughout the fundraiser, so be sure to check back often.

This is a great chance to pick up something special for yourself or for holiday gifts. And remember, 100% of the proceeds from the quilt and sample sales will go to the Webster Community Chest.

The Village Quilt Shoppe is located at 21 East Main St. in the Vllage of Webster.

Meat raffle! Meat raffle! Meat raffle!

5 Nov

If you’ve never experienced a meat raffle, you’re really missing out.

I’ve attended two meat raffle fundraisers, hosted by my daughter’s elementary school in Buffalo, so I know how much fun they can be. These fast-moving, high-energy events are always entertaining, and there’s a really good chance you’ll walk away with some sort of meaty winnings: ribs, chicken, pork chops, steaks, burgers, hot dogs — you name it. (Experienced meat raffle attendees always bring a cooler with them, they win so often.)

So I think it’s great to finally see that meat raffles are making their way east to Rochester, and particularly to Webster. Your next chance to check one out is next Friday, Nov. 13, when the Webster Thomas Hockey Team holds a Meat Raffle Fundraiser beginning at 6 p.m., at the Webster Fireman’s Building, 172 Sanford St. (Doors will open at 5 pm.)

The event will feature multiple rounds of raffles for fresh, high-quality cuts of meat, giving attendees plenty of opportunities to take home some delicious prizes while supporting the Webster Thomas hockey program. The evening will also include basket raffles, a 50/50 drawing, and plenty of excitement as participants cheer on their winning numbers.

The concept is simple: participants purchase tickets for individual rounds, typically costing $1 or $2 each, and winners are selected by spinning a wheel. With multiple rounds throughout the evening, there are plenty of chances to win.

“We’re really looking forward to bringing our hockey families and the greater Webster community together for a fun night out,” said Judy Van Heusen, co-president of the Webster Thomas Hockey Boosters. Co-president Gwen Scibienski added, “Events like this are a wonderful way to support our players and our program while having a great time with friends and neighbors. You don’t have to be a hockey fan to come out, have some fun, and maybe even go home with a freezer full of meat!”

Guests are encouraged to bring their own food and snacks to enjoy throughout the evening. Beverages will be available for purchase.

Admission tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Seating is limited, so advance ticket purchases are strongly encouraged. You can get them from any Webster Thomas hockey player or online here. All proceeds will benefit the Webster Thomas Hockey Boosters and their efforts to support the school’s hockey program.

For additional information, contact the Webster Thomas Hockey Boosters at WTHShockeyboosterpres@gmail.com.

Running with the pumpkins at Willink and Spry

4 Nov
Willink runners start their race
Crossing the finish line at Spry

Webster’s Willink and Spry middle schools held their Pumpkin Runs last week, and the results are in.

The one-mile runs are held every year for the schools’ sixth graders, a way to get them outside for some exercise, introduce them to cross-country running, and give them a chance for some friendly house v. house competition.

Eighty-two sixth graders took part in Willink’s Pumpkin Run — the school’s 20th annual — on Wednesday, Oct. 28. And those kids put in some pretty impressive times. Congratulations to Oliver Randisi, who crossed the finish line first with an incredible sub-six minute mile (5:59). Rounding out the top ten were Paxton Ruffo, Freddie Fischer, Wyatt Snook, Ryan Allen, Brett Danforth, Jaxson Guilfoil, Emerson Ganter, Antonii Kucherenko and Kai Faust.

The young athletes weren’t just running for individual honors; they were also representing their respective houses. This year, Blue House runners notched 23 points, earning the Pumpkin Run trophy and bragging rights for the school year. Red House was second with 49 points, and Green House was third with 66 points.

Ryan Orman (Spry)
Oliver Randisi (Willink)

Spry Middle School held its Pumpkin Run the following day, Thursday, Oct. 29. More than 80 sixth graders participated.

Red House captured the trophy and bragging rights for the year, led by race winner Ryan Orman with a time of 5:52. Red House runners dominated the leaderboard, taking five of the top six spots. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Nicholas Harms, Lucas McKenney, Bradley Rounds, Bryce Rudney, Dean Sarkis, Connor O’Reilly, Dean Rounds, Clara Decker and Mae Decker.

Organizers extended special thanks to Holt Road Wegmans, Bowen Family Farm and Sunscape Farm for their donations, as well as the sixth-grade team, PTSA volunteers, and the modified, JV and varsity cross-country teams for their support.

Congratulations to all who participated!
