Plans underway for inaugural Spencerport Paddle Fest
A beautiful display of rag rugs was shown by Carol Rizzo at the Town of Sweden’s annual Harvest Festival on September 15. See page 10 for a photo essay by Dianne Hickerson.
Plans for a canoeing and kayaking event called Paddle Fest are afoot in Spencerport. Though the festival itself is slated for fall of 2019, an informational meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on October 1 in the Ogden Farmers’ Library conference room. The meeting will be hosted by Director of the Spencerport Canal Museum, Simon Devenish. As the event organizer and an avid kayaker, Simon is excited to take questions and comments from the attending community. “A lot of work is going into this event because I love living and working in this community. It combines so many of my
passions – event organizing, kayaking and canoeing, volunteering, and giving back to the community,” says Devenish. The event is open to the public. Devenish is asking that anyone interested in participating, volunteering or sponsoring this event should attend. Along with an informational segment, Devenish also plans to leave the floor open for community response. Refreshments will be served. To contact Devenish or learn more, call 851-1629 or go to the website: www. spencerportpaddlefest.org. Provided information and photo

On Saturday, September 15, the ByronBergen soccer teams took to the field looking to score more than one kind of goal. Of course, they wanted to win their games but they also wanted to raise awareness for testicular cancer and a monetary donation to the Wilmot Cancer Institute. They were successful on all fronts. The varsity girls won 3-0 against Alexander and the varsity boys won 4-1 against Attica. Byron-Bergen players set aside their burgundy team jerseys and played in t-shirts, blue for testicular cancer awareness, reading “Kickin Cancer” on the front. In addition, they collected $2,910 in cash and checks. Several vendors were present at the event and will donate a percentage of their sales to the total. When those final numbers are in, the teams are hopeful that it will bring the total to $3,000. The check presentation to the Wilmot Cancer Institute will be scheduled for later in the school year.
