Another season and another reason to come to the village.
Village Days traditionally has been a time of celebration, shopping, great food, contests, music, and this year will be no different. It starts Friday evening Aug. 13 with a super food court and a night of music starring Brass Taxi at 6 p.m. Great music - a total concert experience is promised for all ages, from the 50's and 60s big band sounds , the Beetles, Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, 70's ad 80's dance favorites, and music up to and including the music of today.
Saturday, Aug. 14 is for everybody.
For kids, Village Days is a time to create good memories of summer in the village that will last throughout the year - possibly a lifetime. Kids will love the newest adventure, the 50 foot, rock climbing wall, along with face painting, the bounce house, model airplane contests, ice-cream eating contests, and more.
For everyone, the Chorus of the Genesee will perform at the corner of Lapham Park and Main Street at 2 p.m.
Once again Regina Neri, a former Main Street merchant (now Schoen Place, Pittsford - ) is heading our crafters and ARTISTS BOOTHS. Regina, who is back at Nazareth College working towards a master in art education, knows the artists as she features a number of them at her gallery. She is also familiar with the art world as well, if not better, than anyone else we know.
Great food will be everywhere.the House of Costanza, Greg Cody of Brimont Catering will be serving grilled salmon and clams and all things wonderful. Many of the vendors that have been at this event in the past will return.
( If I may make a suggestion though.it would be that you head to Hatter's Pub at least once this week-end ( or anytime) and ask Jeannie to make her fabulous turkey club sandwich for you. I dare you to find a better one.)
Also expect to see and hear Brass Taxi, the Fabulous Bull Heads, and Guy Smiley.
Evening/suppertime - For the enjoyment of all The Fabulous Bullheads will play, perform, and entertain. You know them well.they are - Doug Pucci, Bob Schreiber, Marty Strenczewilk, Mike George, Jr., Joe Monachino, Scott Warburton, Brian Peet and Tony Romano.
This band is great fun. It's classic platinum rock that works the crowd - a terrific party band that will entertain with your favorites from the 60s through the 80s including hits by Bruce Springsteen, The Beetles, Huey Lewis, The Young Rascals, (and my favorite) Neil Diamond and more.
Following the Fabulous Bullheads another popular band that boasts thee Webster musicians/entertainers, Guy Smiley will be playing at the Gazebo. Mike Shoaf, drummer, grew up in Webster; as did bass player, Mike Cellura and electric and acoustic guitar player, Bill Roback.
Since January of 1996, BRASS TAXI has been performing at clubs, festivals, weddings, private parties and fund raisers throughout the Upstate NY area. Playing favorites from 1970 to today. Brass Taxi is another high energy band performing a unique combination of top 40, rock and funk and more!
Get ready for a marvelous week-end of fun in the Village - where the action is and where life keeps getting better!
