So. Much. Going. On.
I’m going to start today’s mailbag with several events that I haven’t featured in a mailbag recently.
The first are the latest details about the Village of Webster’s Bourbon Bash, scheduled for Saturday Nov. 4 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Harmony House. Tickets are now on sale, and if this year’s event is going to be anything like previous ones, it will sell out quickly, so get your tickets SOON.
Local distilleries like Black Button and Smokin’ Tails along with distributors such as Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace and others will be available for sampling. Village of Webster restaurants such as The Coach, BC’s Chicken Coop and more will be featuring samples of their goods to complement the bourbons. ID is required at entry and raffles of bourbon products will be available for purchase.
Tickets are $30 and are limited. Click here to get yours. Proceeds will benefit the Harmony House Renovation Fund.
This is a cool event from the Webster Museum, an Antiques and Collectibles Roadshow.
If you’re curious about the value or origin of a special piece from your family’s history, bring it to the Webster Museum on Oct. 15 at 2 p.m. and the Palma brothers will use their expertise to provide you with some insight.
Frank and Greg Palma grew up in Penfield and own the Webster Jewelry and Coin Exchange at 159 W. Main St. in the village of Webster. Frank enjoys collecting and selling antique toys, comics, advertisements, and oil cans (the older the better), while his brother Greg is an expert in gold, coins, silver, and precious metals.
Over the years they’ve assembled a museum-like collection of items that can be seen and purchased at their store. In addition to sharing their expertise identifying your special objects, they’ll share some stories from their years in business.
Speaking of the museum, the folks over there are gearing up for the annual Christmas Tree Festival.
It will be held Saturday Dec. 2, as part of the village’s White Christmas festivities. So mark that date on your calendar right now.
But first … the museum is looking for individuals or organizations to decorate the small trees. Winners in each category will win $25 cash. Call Gwen Hoffman at 585-738-6221 to reserve your tree. Visitors to the museum will be voting Dec. 2 through Dec. 31. Join the fun!
The Rochester Academy of Irish Dance parents’ association will host a Chicken BBQ fundraiser on Saturday Oct. 21 from 4 p.m. until gone.
Cost is $15 which includes a half chicken, potatoes, cole slaw, rolls and butter.
The event will take place at 780 Ridge Rd. in Webster (by Auto Locators. Look for the elephant).
Get more details about the school and this great event on the Facebook event page here.
The Webster Central PTSA and the Webster Teachers Association are partnering for a Concert Apparel and Coat Event on Saturday Oct. 28 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 pm. at the Webster Recreation Center.
