Today I want to re-introduce you to another one of my favorite runs, and I say that after having participated in it only once. It’s the Sunshine CampTrail Mix 5K and Beer Fest — a really long name for a really fun event — scheduled this year for Friday night, October 16. I posted a blog about this race last fall, about a week after I ran it, and if you read that blog you know why I like it so much.
For starters, the race benefits Rochester Rotary Sunshine Camp in Rush. The course meanders along wooded paths and walkways for three miles through and around this beautiful facility. And true to its name, after the race, runners are treated to a real festival, where perhaps a dozen Rochester-area breweries hand out generous samples of their beers. Plus there’s live music and dancing and prizes, old friends and new.
Sunshine Camp (if you don’t already know) is fully-accessible residential summer camp for children with physical challenges. I had never been there before, so I actually wondered if the property was big enough and wooded enough for a 5K trail run. I discovered that’s it’s plenty big, and the trails are just a small part of this incredible camp.
In a nutshell, Sunshine Camp is a 157-acre magical place where more than 2,500 children and young adults with special needs come every summer just to … well, be kids … without worrying about wheelchairs, medications, or being “different.” Along the trails I ran by a tree house, climbing wall, zip line, splash pad, playground, a lake, and an actual TRAIN! It’s like a child’s fantasy world, where the most fun things you can imagine are all in one place.
About 120 runners participated last year, ages 6 to 84, and the money raised through the entry fees went straight to support Sunshine Camp. The race itself was fun (albeit a bit hilly), and the post-race music and beer and snacks were excellent. I’m looking forward to running it again in a few weeks. (The photo is of our Village Runners team last year.)
Please consider joining me and my Webster Village Runner buddies. The race is Friday, Oct. 16, starting at 5 p.m. at the Rotary Sunshine Camp in Rush. You can register here, and remember you don’t have to run it. Come to walk it if you want. You can still enjoy the great music, good beer and friendly conversation afterwards. And, by the way, you can just sign up for the Beer Fest alone (for less money), so you can cheer your running friend on, then enjoy the after-party.

Autumn has only just begun, and we don’t REALLY want to think about the cold winter ahead yet, but it’ll be here before we know it. And right now is definitely the time to start thinking about helping the families — and especially the children — who can’t afford enough warm clothes. The Webster Knights of Columbus Trinity Council #4618 is already doing that, as they gear up for their 15th annual “Coats for Kids” fund raiser.
The annual drive runs through September, October and the first two weeks of November. Over the past 14 years, through Coats for Kids, the Webster KofC has raised enough money to purchase and distribute more than 4,650 NEW winter coats to children in Monroe and Wayne counties, distributed through more than 30 charitable organizations, schools and churches throughout Webster and Greater Rochester.
PLUS, in the last three years, they’ve also handed out 516 pairs of sneakers through their springtime “Sneakers for Children” program, to some of the same organizations and charities that receive coats.
Those incredible numbers have been made possible by generous donations from individuals, businesses and community organizations. This year, once again, they’re hoping the greater Webster community will step up and help them spread their reach even further.
Each new coat costs $25 and each new pair of sneakers $21. If you can help by making a donation, please make a check payable to Knights of Columbus #4618 and send it to:
“Coats for Kids” c/o J. Stewart Coon, Chairman 230 Champion Ave. Webster, New York 14580-3464

Today I want to tell you about a race which, as far as I can tell, is like no other.
It’s the annual Wegmans East Avenue Grocery Run, organized by Third Presbyterian Church in Rochester. It’s scheduled this year for Saturday, Nov. 7. Since I’m somewhat connected with the Rochester running community, I’ve often heard about this race, but have never run it. But the more I hear about it, the better I like it. (Especially the part about how your entire entry fee is donated to a local food cupboard like Webster Community Chest and Webster NY HOPE — but more about that soon.)
For starters, the race is run in downtown Rochester, so it’s a flat and easy course. There are several distance options, making it easy for anyone to take part: a 5K, 10K, a 1K, a free “Boogie for Broccoli” dash and a virtual option. People wear costumes. Walkers are more than welcome. AND the registration fee is reasonable. But, as I said, the best part about this race is that your entire entrance fee can be donated to your favorite food pantry.
Here’s how that works:
When you sign up for the race, as part of the sign-up process, you’ll be asked if you want to join a team. When you’re ready to choose that team, scroll down the options until you find the food pantry you would like your registration fee to benefit. It’s that easy. Your entire registration fee will be donated to that organization.
Both the Webster Community Chest and Webster NY Hope have created teams. So if you live in Webster and will be running in this race, please consider signing up for one of these two teams. And if you’re one of those “I’m-not-a-runner” people who would never consider participating in a race, please consider this one. There are always a LOT of walkers, and did I mention you can wear a costume? Plus, this race is famous for its huge post-race food spread.
By the way, you can increase your impact by bringing some non-perishable foods to donate!

A little history
What I also didn’t know about the Grocery Run is that Webster resident Ellen Rye is one of the organizers. Ellen is part of a dedicated group of volunteers who, year after year, pull together the hundreds of details required to put on an event of this size.
I sat down with Ellen a little while ago to find out more about this amazing race and how it got started.
Third Presbyterian Church, located on Meigs St. in Rochester, for years has hosted a food cupboard and provided a hot lunch every Sunday to serve their local community. Back in 2010, they began to notice that the number of people visiting the pantry and attending the lunches was increasing. At the same time, grocery prices were on the rise.
So Ellen and several other “church moms” put their heads together to see how they could raise some money for the food pantry. “Somebody came up with the idea of organizing a 5K,” Ellen remembered, “which none of us knew how to do.”
It was a daunting challenge. Their first step was to solicit some sponsors. Wegmans was one of the first to sign on, which gave them a little encouragement. After that, things started to really come together, and when they were finally ready to put out the call for runners, they hoped they might attract 100 or so participants.
They got 800 that first year.
The race continued to grow, and before long (thanks in large part to the corporate sponsors), the race was raising more money than Third Church needed for their own food pantry. “So we said, let’s spread the wealth,” Ellen said.
“Let’s share; so many food pantries are really working on shoestring budgets,” she continued. “They never have enough money or people. So we realized, we have this infrastructure for putting together a great fun community event that attracts a lot of people. And why don’t we provide that infrastructure to other food pantries? That way they don’t have to organize their own race.”
And for the last 16 years, that’s exactly what Third Presbyterian Church has done. Since 2010 the Wegmans East Avenue Grocery Run has raised more than $760,000 for local food pantries. (Even if a runner doesn’t sign up for a specific team, all other fees and donations are distributed evenly among all the teams.) Corporate sponsors cover the cost of the event, so that 100% of race registration fees and donations go directly to food pantries. Last year alone, $110,000 was distributed to 41 organizations that provide food, hope and dignity for our neighbors in need.
The event is organized entirely by volunteers, a core group of about 20 people work year-round seeking corporate sponsors, planning logistics, supporting food pantry participation and sweating over details to make the Grocery Run a safe, fun and profitable community fitness event. During race week, more than 100 more volunteers help with packet pickup/registration, site and course set up, race marshals, hospitality and more.
And remember how that first race in 2010 attracted 800 runners? Last year, there were 1859 registered participants (10K, 5K, 1K and kids’ fun run).
Won’t you join us this year? Remember to sign up for your favorite food cupboard team. Both Webster Community Chest and Webster HOPE have teams!
The 2026 Wegmans East Avenue Grocery Run will be held Saturday, Nov. 7 at 8:30 a.m. Prices vary depending on the distance you’re running, but they will go up after Sept. 30. You can find more details including route maps on the website.

This Memorial Day weekend, almost two dozen restaurants throughout Webster and the Greater Rochester area are joining an effort to honor and remember veterans who never made it back home.
It’s a project called “White Tables Across America.” In each participating restaurant, a single, small, empty table is tucked in an area apart from the main dining area. It’s set for one, symbolizing that someone is missing from our lives — a fallen service member, POW or MIA.
The table is covered with a white tablecloth, signifying the purity of the service member’s emotions when answering the call to serve. In addition to a normal table setting, on top of the table are placed:
a single red rose, symbolizing the blood shed to ensure America’s freedom
a yellow ribbon tied around the vase, representing a demand for proper accounting of those who are not with us today
a lemon slice, reminding us of a captured soldier’s bitter fate
a black napkin, representing the sorrow of captivity
grains of salt on the plate, representing the countless fallen tears of families as they wait
an inverted glass, because they can’t toast with us
a white candle, for the hope that all our missing will return someday.
Finally, an empty chair is placed next to the table, a seat that remains unclaimed. Fully arranged, the table is a simple, yet powerful symbol of remembrance, each element representing the physical and emotional burden of a soldier’s absence.
These small memorials — also known as Fallen Comrade Tables or Missing Man Tables — can often be found at various military facilities, museums, veterans’ agencies, public events and civic spaces. Here in Rochester, though, the effort has become more organized, thanks to the efforts of Brockport resident Sarah Fisher and her five-year old son Brax.
Sarah explained how she decided to get involved.
Last Memorial Day, I felt it was the right time to begin having age-appropriate conversations with Brax about the true meaning behind our federal military holidays. Memorial Day is more than a day off from school or a holiday picnic. It is a day to remember and honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
As part of a Memorial Day homeschool lesson plan I created for Brax, we set up a symbolic POW/MIA White Table in our home. Afterward, I thought: why not bring this tribute into our community? That would offer patrons a safe place to pause, reflect, and hold fallen service members and their families in their hearts.
So she reached out to several west-side restaurants to see if they’d be interested in hosting a table, and ultimately set up three White Tables last Memorial Day, then five on Veterans Day. That number grew even larger this year, with 21 restaurants participating across the Rochester area. Here in Webster/Penfield, those include the Mary Wee Pub, Proietti’s, Cobblestone on Main and Flaherty’s. Even if they were a bit short on space, they made room for a table.
At the Mary Wee, for example, Mark Petzing noted, “We don’t have a lot of space here, but we’ll make room for their table. Because some things are more important.”
Brax arranging the White Table at the Mary Wee PubThe completed table
Sarah calls their mission White Tables Across Rochester, and she hopes to continue adding more restaurants every year. Beyond the restaurant displays themselves, Sarah’s also developed mini-homeschool lesson kits tailored for children of different ages. Participating families are paired with a local establishment to help set up their display to generalize their learning and give back to the military community.
“Our hope is to encourage meaningful conversations, foster community involvement, and help younger generations better understand the sacrifices made by our service members and their families,” she said.
Sarah and Brax spent the last few days delivering the White Table kits and setting them up at each of the 21 restaurants. (Brax insists on doing the setup all by himself.) Keep an eye out for them when you’re out and about this weekend, and pause for a moment to remember our fallen and missing service members.
Finally, Sarah shared this touching story:
Yesterday, after completing one of our White Table setups, we noticed a $20 bill left beneath the wine glass. … (I) learned that it can symbolize a quiet act of gratitude and generosity, almost like a toast to those who served and sacrificed. It felt incredibly touching to witness such a meaningful gesture and to see our community coming together in support of honoring our fallen service members. That’s what it’s all about!
If you know of a restaurant interested in becoming part of the White Tables Across Rochester effort next Memorial Day, email Sarah atssegal11@yahoo.com.

The greater Rochester community is invited to view the results of a unique collaborative effort between some very talented Webster Thomas High School art students and two local photographers, Quajay Donnell and Richard Colón.
The project began when Webster Thomas art teacher Todd Stahl assigned his Studio in Art students — mostly freshmen — a project based on photographs taken around Rochester by Donnell and Colón. The students carefully cropped their selected images to compose their pieces and then transformed the photographs into striking paintings. The resulting works of art are extraordinary, capturing a wealth of personality and intricate detail.
When Donnell and Colón visited the classroom and saw the impressive works in progress, they were so moved by the students’ talents that they pitched an exciting idea: hosting a professional gallery show to display the students’ work at a gallery they curate.
The resulting exhibition is called Their Eyes, Our Hands, and will be on display for the entire month of May at Behind the Glass Gallery in downtown Rochester.
Their Eyes, Our Hands will feature the paintings of the 20 students, proudly displayed alongside prints of the original reference photographs taken by Donnell and Colón. This unique layout will allow attendees to see the direct inspiration behind each student’s creative interpretation of Rochester’s sights. Student artists include Zoe Abiade, Hana Arap, Lina Barco-Dimaggio, Emma Conley, Noah Drojak, Sophia Eren, Gracie Frank, Mia Imperato, Molly Lowenguth, Penny Ricci, Amina Robinson, Karleigh Sackett, Jaylee Santana, Lucas Scerra, Allie Spitzer, Vivian Stoch, Leah Stronach, Adam Supinski, Andrew Torres, and Lianna Williams.
The Their Eyes, Our Hands art exhibition will kick off with an opening reception on Friday May 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. The event will take place at the Behind The Glass gallery, located on the second floor of Farmhouse Table at 90 South Clinton Avenue, Rochester. For those unable to attend the opening reception, the display will remain up and open to the public throughout the entire month of May during normal business hours: Monday and Tuesday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
(The art on the poster was created by Grace Frank)

I was honored to help represent Bella’s Bumbas at the Rochester St. Patrick’s Day Parade Saturday afternoon. I was one of more than twenty friends, family members and volunteers who braved the cold temperatures and strong winds to help Marty Parzynski and Rebecca Orr celebrate Bella’s Bumbas’ selection as this year’s Charitable Organization of the Year.
This incredible all-volunteer organization, which calls Webster home, was recognized for their work building pint-sized wheelchairs for children with a variety of disabilities, only charging the parents for shipping (and sometimes not even that). In the last nine years they’ve made about 3,800 chairs and shipped them to 70 countries.
And yes, it definitely was cold. But the worst of the winds had died down a bit, the sun was trying to peek through the clouds, and as long as you kept moving (and had thought to wear three or four layers), it was comfortable enough. Thousands lined the parade route despite the cold, most everyone wearing some sort of Irish-themed hat or t-shirt, shamrock-shaped glasses or green tights … or all at the same time. There were LOTS of kids, lots of flag waving, and everyone was smiling.
I loved the Bumba chairs on top of the wagonMy friend Laura took this one. I had four layers on top and two pairs of tights.
The Bella’s Bumbas float was pretty great. It was covered in bunting and flags and streamers. Several children sat inside the wagon on hay bales, and others rode Bumba wheelchairs as they were pushed down the street by helpful adults. Six more Bumba chairs were strapped to the top, illustrating the great variety of designs which Marty and Rebecca individualize for the children they serve.
Given that our unit was near the front of the parade, I didn’t get to see much of it, and unfortunately, no one near us was blaring music loud enough for me to dance a whole lot, as I like to do. But all in all it was a great experience and I am so happy that I could join my friends on their big day.
******
As a fun aside, this was not the first time I walked in the Rochester St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Back in 1995, my husband Jack and I were honored as the parade’s Business People of the Year, in recognition of our Irish Insider newsletter, which we began in 1992. Pictured here are Jack and me with our son Sean (then 5) and daughter Erin (not quite a year).

An exciting competition is taking shape this weekend when our very own One Webster SparX 1126 robotics team takes part in the Finger LakesRegional First Robotics Competition at RIT‘s Gordon Field House, and everyone in the Webster community is invited to attend to cheer on our team.
This year’s game is called REBUILT, and it has an archaeological/restoration theme. The robots have to recover “artifacts” (represented by yellow 6-inch foam balls) and use them to power up their alliance’s HUB, the central scoring structure, by placing them or throwing them in. There are obstacles (of course), including a trench that robots can drive under if they’re short enough, and bumps they have to drive over.
If you’ve never been to one of these events, try to picture something between a high-stakes engineering lab and a high-energy rock concert. It’s loud, fast-paced, and despite its competitive nature, is quite the community event — for the audience members and competitors alike. The stands are filled with students in bright, themed costumes (including capes and tutus). There’s constant music and team chants, and an emcee offering play-by-play commentary.
Each match lasts 2 minutes and 30 seconds, during which time alliances are made, robots move alternately in a pre-programmed mode, then student-operated mode as they work towards completing their task, finally sprinting through last 30 seconds and a “climax” task. In the “pits,” students work feverishly to repair or upgrade their robots, and sometimes help other teams fix their broken robots as well; that kind of professionalism is a core FIRST philosophy, balancing competition with kindness.
A few images from a competition held last September
The excitement begins on Thursday (March 12) with practice from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The competition begins in earnest on Friday beginning with opening ceremonies at 8:30 a.m., then qualification matches from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Saturday, final qualification matches begin at 9 a.m., concluding with the playoffs at 1:30 p.m. and awards ceremony at 4:30 p.m.
Visitors are welcome — and encouraged — any day at any time, to watch the robots in action. (Admission is totally free.) If you’re able to attend, look for the large “1126” lights in the stands and join your Webster neighbors for a day you will not soon forget. If you’d like to see the action but can’t make it to RIT, you can see it streamed live on YouTube with these links:
Students learned about the competition game on January 10 and have been meeting every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday (with the occasional Thursday) since then at their workshop at Webster Thomas High School. The team is made up of 15 students divided into sub-teams — electrical, software, mechanical, a drive team and a promotions team — all made up of 9th through 12th graders from both Schroeder and Thomas. The team’s 12 mentors have backgrounds in these areas, as well as marketing and web design and truly come alongside students to help them learn, rather than build for them.
So far the team has raised $18,000 to build their robot, which is about 110” diameter base, and stands almost 30” high. It has an extending hopper to hold up to 24 balls (fuel) which it can propel into the hopper on the game field.

If you happened to watch one of the local TV newscasts on Friday night, or if you follow the City of Rochester social media feeds, you might have noticed a familiar face. At a press conference held Friday morning at City Hall, the Rochester St. Patrick’s Parade Committee officially introduced this year’s parade honorees, and Webster’s very own Bella’s Bumbas was one of them — pretty much front and center.
Bella’s Bumbas has been named Official Charitable Organization of this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. I blogged about this honor a few weeks ago, when the Parade Committee held its first press conference at the Hilton Garden Inn. But watching our Webster friends accept their commemorative sash in the magnificent City Hall atrium, alongside the city’s top officials, turned a great announcement into a truly meaningful milestone.
Rebecca Orr, who co-founded the organization with her husband Marty Parzynski, was on hand to accept the honor, accompanied by volunteer Shelby Deane and her “Bumbaleer” daughter Lyla. In her remarks, Parade Committee Director Kate McBride explained why Bella’s Bumbas is so deserving of this recognition:
Bella’s Bulbas is a remarkable non-profit organization dedicated to empowering children with mobility challenges by providing them with the gift of movement and independence.
Through the design, assembly, and donation of custom-built, child-sized wheelchairs, Bella’s Bumbas ensures that every child, regardless of background or financial circumstance, can explore, play and connect with their world. Each wheelchair is lovingly constructed by passionate volunteers and given to families free of charge, asking only for shipping costs when necessary.

Since its founding ten years ago, Bellas Bumbas has provided 3,500 chairs to children in 70 different countries. That’s an incredible legacy for a grassroots organization that began as a small community effort in one small house.
Accepting the honor, Rebecca credited the organization’s success in large part to her dedicated team of volunteers, here in Rochester and worldwide. And when she was handed her tri-colored sash, she chose not to put it on. Instead, she draped it over Lyla in her wheelchair. “I had to put the sash on Lyla,” she explained, “because Bella’s Bumbas is not about us adults. It’s about the children, and their heroes, the parents who fight for them and advocate for them.”
And THAT selfless perspective is a good illustration of why Marty and Rebecca — and Bella’s Bumbas — deserve this amazing honor.
As the Official Charitable Organization honoree, Bella’s Bumbas will get prime placement near the very beginning of the parade line-up. They’ve been working hard crafting a pretty spectacular float, which will feature several Bumba chairs with “bumbaleers” riding them, hay bales, gold frills and lots of lights. Adult volunteer walkers and some young “test riders” will be rolling beside the float to hand out information and goodies to the crowd. It may very well be the first float in the parade, so it will be difficult to miss. (Check out the photos below for a sneak peek.)
So when you see them, raise a rousing cheer for Bella’s Bumbas, our Webster neighbors, who are changing children’s lives.
The 2026 Tops St. Patrick’s Day Parade is scheduled for Saturday, March 14, beginning at 12:30 p.m. at East Ave. and Alexander St.

It’s always neat to see who the Rochester St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee chooses every year as their annual honorees — like the Grand Marshal, Honorary Marshal, Citizen of the Year and the like. But this year, the announcement was especially exciting, because one of this year’s honorees is Webster’s very ownBella’s Bumbas.
At the annual kickoff event, held Sunday Feb. 1 at the Hilton Garden Inn, the committee announced that Bella’s Bumbas has been chosen as this year’sOfficialCharitable Organization. Anyone who’s read my blog for even a short time should already be familiar with this awesome grassroots, all-volunteer organization. Run by Webster residents Marty Parzynski and Rebecca Orr, it’s dedicated to building miniature wheelchairs for children with a wide variety of mobility issues, charging the families only for shipping.
In her announcement, Parade Committee Director Kate McBride introduced the organization by saying,
Since its founding, Bella’s Bumbas has grown from a small community effort into a global mission, having provided over 3,500 chairs to children in 70 different countries. Each chair represents a story of hope, inclusion, and possibility. Families who once felt isolated, now watch their children roll beside their peers, discovering new levels of confidence and independence. This incredible journey has been made possible entirely through volunteer dedication, community support, and the belief that no child should be left without mobility, simply because of financial or geographic barriers.
In this year’s parade, Bella’s Bumbas will showcase these little chairs and the joy they bring not only to the children who receive them, but also to the volunteers and donors who make each one possible.
As the Charitable Organization honoree, Bella’s Bumbas will get prime placement near the very beginning of the parade line-up. They’ve already started planning a pretty spectacular float, which will feature several Bumba chairs and “bumbaleers” riding them, hay bales, gold frills and lots of lights. Adult volunteer walkers and some young “test riders” will be rolling beside the float to hand out information and goodies to the crowd. It may very well be the first float in the parade, so it will be difficult to miss!
This is an incredibly well-deserved honor for Bella’s Bumbas, whose life-changing work for children worldwide often flies under the radar. While we in Webster have long been proud to call them our own, it’s wonderful to see them get the recognition they deserve, giving the rest of the Rochester area a chance to discover this incredible organization.
Congratulations, Marty and Rebecca, on this amazing honor.
The 2026 Tops St. Patrick’s Day Parade is scheduled for Saturday, March 14, beginning at 12:30 p.m. at East Ave. and Alexander St. Make sure to watch for the Bella’s Bumbas float at the beginning of the parade and cheer loud for our Webster neighbors!
On a related note…
This year’s Honorary Marshal is Dave North, a well-known musician who’s played in and around Webster and Rochester for decades. He was (and is) a regular performer at the former Barry’s Old School Irish in the Village of Webster and the new Barry’s Pub in Fairport. I’m pleased to consider Dave a good friend and congratulate him on his honor!
Dave, by the way, has his own connection to Bella’s Bumbas. Last year on one of his trips to London, he brought a Bumba chair along with him to deliver to a child there.
