With Girl Scouts singing yuletide carols, a visit from Santa Claus at the Moose Family Center, all of the stores bedecked for the season, it was beginning to feel a lot like Christmas in Le Roy today.
Well, some snow on the ground might have helped ...
The village put on "Winterfest," which included a "stroll through the village" (patrons got a punch card and could win prizes for visiting all of the stores), and the Moose Family Center sponsored a holiday bazaar. There was also an event at the Woodward Memorial Library.
Adding to the Christmas spirit were songs of the season blasted up and down Main Street through the village's emergency bullhorns.
Mary Margaret Ripley, owner of Scratch Bakery, said she was busy all through the event.
Thank you for coming out and
Thank you for coming out and covering our Winterfest, Howard. It was the best day in this Village in a long time. People were all excited, business owners were all excited, and people were coming together as a community. In a time of such uncertainty it was a much needed reprieve. Expected bigger and better and a big kick off with a parade - possibly on a Friday night for a great weekend! Thank you to all who came out and supported our event!
