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.

The next big village events are happening soon

2 Nov

Right on the heels of a very successful Trick-or-Treat Trail in the Village of Webster, here are some details about the next special events coming up in the village this fall.

The first is the Bourbon Bash, scheduled this year for 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.

THEN, on Saturday, Dec. 5, you’ll want to bring the whole family out to Webster’s Winter Wonderland festival, when the village streets are decked out in holiday decorations, songs fill the air, and cookies and hot cocoa abound.

Details are still coming together for this year’s festivities, but in the past, this afternoon-long event has featured choir performances, horse-drawn carriage rides, carolers, cookie decorating, live music, storytime, games, face painting, a dance party, a visit with Santa, and the Festival of Trees at the Webster Museum. It all culminates with the always spectacular Parade of Lights down Main Street.

Even if you don’t want to come out too early in the day (the festival usually runs from 3 to 7 p.m.), you’ll want to bundle up and be on Main Street for the Parade of Lights. It begins at 6:30 p.m. on East Main St., and travels west on Main to Fireman’s Field. All of the participants — fire trucks, bands, community group floats — everyone and everything is decked out in twinkling Christmas lights as they parade by. It’s really a sight to see.

I’m especially excited about this year’s parade, because I have been asked to emcee the festivities. So if you do make it, maybe find a spot to stand near the announcer’s perch (near Village Hall) so you can hear what I have to say about each float. (Don’t know what that will be yet, but I’m going to try to make things interesting.) A friend of mine is going to try to hook me up with a holiday-themed costume, too, so stay tuned!

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!

I got wind the other day about an exciting addition to the Village of Webster event schedule for next year: a country music festival!

Planning is still in the very early stages for this brand new music event, but at this point it’s on the schedule for mid-June. And rest assured this is NOT a replacement for the Jazz Festival, which usually takes place in August.

Stay tuned for more news about this.

Some exciting Parade of Lights news

13 Oct

(…. Well, I think it’s exciting, anyway.) I’ve been asked to act as emcee for this year’s Parade of Lights on Saturday, Dec. 5!!!

As most of you already know, the Parade of Lights is the spectacular climax to the Village of Webster’s annual Winter Wonderland festivities. It begins at 6:30 p.m. on East Main St., and travels west on Main Street to Fireman’s Field. All of the participants — fire trucks, bands, community group floats — everyone and everything is decked out in twinkling Christmas lights as they parade by. It’s really a sight to see.

And I get to announce it all from a perch above the crowd!!!!

Sign-ups are happening right now, so if your community group wants to be involved, make sure to reach out to the organizers by Nov. 15. Click here to access the application form. And when you apply, make sure you add something fun for me to say about your group.

What I find equally exciting is that the parade organizers are asking that, in lieu of a registration fee, participating groups donate to Making Spirits Bright, to help raise funds for the amazing work they do helping the families of Webster during the holidays. Making Spirits Bright (MSB) is an all-volunteer, adopt-a-family program which provides holiday joy to deserving families in the greater Rochester, NY region. They’ve assisted more than 600 families since 2014. Every dollar donated helps them help more families.

So, get your group signed up and let’s get pumped for this year’s Winter Wonderland and the Parade of Lights, both scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 5. More details to come about both.

(And yes, someone has already asked me who will be taking photos of this year’s parade, which is what my role usually is. Maybe I can do it from the podium. We’ll see.)

Details about this year’s Winter Wonderland

2 Dec

Get ready for the Village of Webster to sparkle with holiday spirit when the annual holiday fun festival, Winter Wonderland, returns to Main Street, Veterans Memorial Park and Village Hall this coming weekend, on Saturday Dec. 6.

All of your family favorites will be back for the afternoon and evening, including choir performances, horse-drawn carriage rides, carolers, cookie decorating, live music, choir performances, storytime, games, face painting, a dance party, and a visit with Santa, culminating with the always spectacular Parade of Lights down Main Street.

This year for the first time, the Webster BID — who organizes the festivities — is also introducing a Community Donation Marketplace, set up in Veterans Park on North Ave. Community members are encouraged to bring donations for Webster Hope and Toys for Tots, which will be accepted all afternoon. Accepted items include:

  • Non-perishable food items
  • Personal care poroducts
  • Hats, gloves, scarves, and mittens
  • Unwrapped toys
  • Household items (blankets, pillows, sheets)

Reliant Federal Credit Union and Oaks Brands will also be at the marketplace.

Down at the Harmony House, 58 East Main St., the Chorus of the Genesee will be hosting a Craft Fair from 2 to 8 p.m. In addition to the wide variety of crafters, there’ll be live music, refreshments and a cash bar.

And while you’re in town for the festivities, make sure to walk up the short block to the Webster Museum (18 Lapham Park), which will be open from 2 to 7 p.m. with live music and your chance to vote for your favorite decorated mini Christmas tree as part of the museum’s Festival of Trees. Kittelberger Flower Cards will be on sale, and the very popular Museum raffle will also be back this year, so bring a little cash, put a chance in for some great prizes and support the museum!

Plus, of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be greeting children at the Village Hall Community Meeting Room from 3 to 5 p.m., when they have to leave and get ready to ride in the parade.

Everything wraps up with the spectacular Parade of Lights which will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Kircher Park and travel west down Main Street to Fireman’s Field. It’s always amazing to see all of the fire trucks, bands, community group floats — everyone and everything — parade by, covered in twinkling Christmas lights.

I’ll be walking around with my camera, so if you see me, smile nice!

Here’s a link to my gallery from last year’s Winter Wonderland and Parade of Lights.

Photos from Winter Wonderland

8 Dec

It was cloudy, snowy and cold on Saturday for the Village of Webster’s Winter Wonderland celebration. So, basically, we had perfect weather.

I for one was hoping that it would snow for Winter Wonderland this year. I can’t remember the last time we had an actual wintry day (even when it was called White Christmas), which always seemed a little sad for something which is named after snow. So even though it meant bundling up and making sure you had some hot chocolate to warm your hands, I thought the weather was perfect.

The snow made the village sparkle even more than usual, enhanced by the illuminated snowflakes on the light poles, which this year for the first time had been transformed into bright and beautiful candy canes.

I didn’t get out to check out all the activities as much as I usually do, but when I was in town, I was pleased to see a lot of families exploring Gazebo Park, popping into the shops, grabbing some hot chocolate from the Webster Thomas Honor Society volunteers, visiting the museum and taking part in the scavenger hunt. The Rochester Rhapsody carolers were popping in and out of the shops and restaurants, too, providing some beautiful holiday music.

I was especially pleased to see the new Mary Wee Pub packed most of the day. For sure, some people went in to just get out of the cold, but I’m sure so many others were taking advantage of the opportunity to check out the village’s newest business, and perhaps have a pint at the same time.

As usual, I took a BUNCH of photos, mostly from the parade. I hope you enjoy them, especially if you weren’t able to be there this year. Click here to see the whole gallery.

Details about this year’s Winter Wonderland

29 Nov

The Village of Webster’s annual holiday fun festival, Winter Wonderland, returns to Main Street, Gazebo Park and Village Hall next weekend, on Saturday Dec. 7.

All of your family favorites will be back for the afternoon and evening, including carriage rides, crafts for the kids, cookie decorating, live music, story time, and a visit with Santa, culminating with the always spectacular Parade of Lights down Main Street.

Everything starts at 3 p.m., when Santa will welcome children in the warm Village Hall Community Meeting Room until 5:00 p.m., when he has to leave and get ready to ride in the parade.

Here’s a quick look at everything else going on that afternoon evening:

  • 3:30 – 5:30 PM – Horse drawn carriage rides; departing from Veterans Park
  • 3 – 5:30 PM – Scavenger hunt, cookie decorating, crafts, music performances from Rochester Rhapsody chorus and Jerry Christopher, hot cocoa and popcorn and​​​​​​​ more along Main Street

The very popular Museum raffle will also be back this year, so bring a little cash, put a chance in for some great prizes and support the museum!

A few event locations are still being finalized, and when they do, the Webster BID will be posting the final details and a map online at websterbid.com, so stay tuned for that.

Everything wraps up with the spectacular Parade of Lights which will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Kircher Park and travel west down Main Street to Fireman’s Field.

Photos from Winter Wonderland and the Parade of Lights

3 Dec

It would be nice if one year — just one year — it would snow for the Village of Webster’s Winter Wonderland festivities. Some wintry flakes would certainly enhance the holiday atmosphere. But in the last few years, at least it didn’t rain.

This year we didn’t even get that lucky. At least for most of the afternoon it was just cloudy, but shortly before the parade started it began to sprinkle and did so for pretty much the entire evening. The cold, rainy weather didn’t seem to turn many people away, however. It seemed to me there were a lot more people this year, more families making cookies and crafts in Gazebo Park, more kids dancing around with Denise and listening to Jason from the Public Library tell stories. And the lines to see Santa and take a wagon ride were — as always — quite long.

Kudos especially for the Webster Village Hall staff for the beautiful backdrop they created for Santa and Mrs. Claus in the Community Meeting Room, and for taking a photo of every family who visited. (Keep an eye on the Village website or Facebook page for when the photos are posted. I’m not sure where they’ll be.)

Thank you to the Webster Business Improvement District for another great year. This is always such a great family event with so many things to do and see, from the crafts, cookies and hot chocolate to the live performances by the Chorus of the Genesee and Rochester Rhapsody.

And of course thank you to the Webster Volunteer Fire Department for the always spectacular Parade of Lights. It’s always a delight to see how much fun the participants are having as they march their costumes, and how much fun the spectators have as each sparkling truck or float rolls by. Even if they are huddled under overhangs and umbrellas.

Winter Wonderland at the Webster Museum

29 Nov

A few days ago I posted a blog with details about this weekend’s Winter Wonderland festivities in the Village of Webster on Saturday Dec. 2. But I wanted to separate out the Webster Museum for special treatment because they have a lot of cool stuff going on that day, even before the festival starts.

The museum’s fun-filled winter celebration kicks off with a book sale and signing by local author Bill Schoff, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. A retired Plank Rd. North Elementary teacher, Bill has authored four wonderful books of fun poetry for the child in all of us. For this special event, all of Bill’s books are on sale for $10 each, cash or check only.  Bring your own to be signed, or purchase one at the museum on the day of the signing.

Beginning at 4 p.m., the museum will have live music, featuring The Saxophone Therapy Project until 4:45, followed by The Goodwin Family from 5 to 5:45 p.m., providing instrumental music with a sing-a-long.

The Festival of Trees officially opens this Saturday as well. Fifteen beautifully decorated miniature Christmas trees have been placed throughout the museum, and community members are encouraged to see them all and vote for your favorite. They’ll be on display through Dec. 31, but if you can’t make it to the museum before then, you can also vote online at the museum’s website. (That link will be posted soon!)

Many local nonprofit organizations have worked hard to create these beautiful trees, and prize monies will be awarded. So stop on down and cast your vote!

The spectacular Burkardt Family Crèche will be on display for the month of December.  Handcrafted in Germany between WWI and WWII, it was shipped to the Burkardt family in Webster at the end of the war. You can read more about it in this blog I wrote about it last year.   

Finally, here’s a unique holiday gift idea which will delight someone you love, and benefit the museum at the same time. It’s called “12 Months of Flowers,” and is being offered in conjunction with Kittelberger Florist.

Purchase a “12 Months of Flowers” card for $40, cash or check only, at the museum during Winter Wonderland and receive one bouquet of flowers, each month, for 12 consecutive months. Bouquets are valued at $15 and must be picked up at Kittelberger Florist, 263 North Ave, Webster. What a great way to brighten every month of the new year for someone special (or yourself)!

The Webster Museum is located at 18 Lapham Park (just steps off of East Main St.). They’ll be open from 2 to 6 p.m. on Saturday Dec. 2.

Webster community mailbag

15 Nov

Here’s a great way to spend a cold almost-winter evening: take in a Webster Thomas High School drama production!

The WTHS Drama Club will present John Buchan’s spy thriller The 39 Steps on the Thomas stage Thursday, Friday and Saturday Nov. 16, 17 and 18, at 7:30 p.m. each night.

The story goes like this: Richard Hannay is a desperate man on the run. The police want him for murder and a web of spies want him dead. It’s a hilarious tale of international intrigue, murder, and mayhem, often described as “Alfred Hitchcock meets Monty Python.”

Cast members include Jaina Brien, Jack Dayton, Evelyn Fellows, Mia Fellows, Brook Hoffer, Veronica Leistman, Bobby LoFaso, Jamie McCarthy, Abigail McNett, Logan Penza, Makayla Richardson, Katie Steele, Ella Vernacotola, and Adriana Zodarecky. They’re supported by crew members Ananya Bobbala, Abigail DeLallo, Sara Gesner, Jocelyn Herrle, Zoey Hryhorenko, Kilian Klawitter, Catherine Magaw, Yogapreetha Pramothkumar, Savannah Riggs, Amelia Snell, Ava Vernacotola, and Riley Weller. 

The show runs November 16, 17, and 18 in the Webster Thomas Auditorium, 800 Five Mile Line Road, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are just $10, and can be purchased in advance at from HomeTown Ticketing.

Webster NY HOPE has published their November/December wish list, which includes:

  • sugar
  • flour
  • coffee
  • ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard
  • canned beets
  • diapers (size 6)
  • toiletries (soap, shampoo, deoderant, etc.)
  • laundry detergent
  • gently used toddler clothing

Items can be dropped off during regular operating hours, Monday 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday 10 a.m. to noon, Wednesday 3 to 5 p.m. and Thursday 5 to 7 p.m. The offices will be closed Thanksgiving week.

Webster NY HOPE is located at 1450 Ridge Rd.

Next time you’re at the Webster Public Library, make sure to browse the beautiful art on display in the main lobby.

The Webster Art Club’s Fall Show is up and running through Nov. 29. This is also a good chance to think about if you’d like to join this great group of artists. The club is always looking for new members. They meet for Open Art every Wednesday at the Webster Recreation Center from 10 a.m. to noon and have meetings with guest artists and demos on the second Wednesday of each month.

For more information, click here.

The West Webster Fire Department invites community members to help clean up the Lake Rd. memorial honoring fallen WWFD firefighters Lt. Mike Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka, on Saturday Nov. 18 at 9 a.m.

Please bring gloves, weed trimmers, takes and trash bags. The memorial is located on Lake Rd. just past Sandbar Park.

Bernardi & Co. CPA, at 40 Barrett Drive, is hosting two free financial seminars in the coming weeks, designed for individuals and small businesses who could use a little advice.

The first, focusing on Tax Strategies and Managing Debt, will be held on Wednesday November 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. The second, on Saving and Investing, is scheduled for Tuesday Dec. 5 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Both seminars will be held at the Bernardi & Co. offices, and there’s no cost. But please RSVP as space is limited. Email Elena@bernardiCPA.com to reserve your spot. If you have any questions, call 585-217-9393.

A couple of Village events in the coming weeks to tell you about.

The first is a free shredding event on Friday Nov. 17 from 1 to 3 p.m. behind Village Hall at 28 West Main.

This event will be accepting paper only, and paper must be placed in cardboard boxes or paper bags (no totes or bags). Staples do not need to be removed. Limit is five boxes per vehicle.

This is a drive-through event; just drive up behind Village Hall and volunteers will unload the papers from your car.

And here’s your first notice about the annual Webster Winter Wonderland and Parade of Lights celebration!

This year’s holiday fun will take place on Saturday Dec. 2 beginning at 3:30 p.m. On tap this year, are horse-drawn wagon rides, cookie decorating, caroling, and more. The North Pole will return to Gazebo Park with arts and crafts, story hour from the Webster Public Library and hot cocoa. Santa will visit with children in the Village Hall community meeting room so everyone can stay warm.

Then, beginning at 6:30 p.m., the Parade of Lights heads down Main Street, brought to you by the Webster Volunteer Fire Department.

More details to come, but to stay on top of it all, visit the Webster BID website regularly. (Or better yet, sign up for the newsletter!)

And since we’re talking about White Christmas and Santa, here’s a teaser for something very exciting coming up on Small Business Saturday: rumor has it that Santa will be in town, shopping along Main Street and North Ave. Stay tuned for details about when he’ll be out and about!

What’s coming up in the village this fall

25 Sep

Well, unfortunately the Bed Races didn’t happen as planned — hopefully they’ll be back in the spring — but our Webster Business Improvement District (BID) folks are undeterred, and are still planning plenty of fun family events in the next few months.

The next big event is the brand new Health and Wellness Fair, scheduled for Saturday Oct. 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Village Hall. Details are still coming together for that but there are already 25 vendors signed up. More information to come about this soon.

The village’s annual Trick or Treat Trail returns on Saturday Oct. 28, beginning at 11:30 a.m. The costume contest will also begin at 11:30, so you can stop by there first then head right outside to begin your trick or treating. I’ll be posting an entire blog about this as well soon.

The Bourbon Bash is back, on Saturday Nov. 4 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Harmony House. At this event you can sample bourbons and whiskey from local and national distilleries, complemented by food samples from local restaurants.Tickets should be on sale before the end of the month, and this always sells out, so visit the Webster BID website regularly to stay on top of that.

the Village of Webster’s Winter Wonderland celebration will be back on December 2, complete with the Parade of Lights, and the BID is also still hoping to get a Beer Walk on the schedule before the weather gets too cold.

Lots of more information to come about all these events, but you can be one of the first in the know by visiting the Webster BID website regularly and signing up for the BID newsletter.
