Wayne County Life

SUBMITTED by Jerry Ashley, Lyons Main Street Program Manager (1-Dec-2009)

Reminder to all of you that this Saturday, 5 December 2009, if the FIRST Lyons Main Street Program's "Light Up Lyons Holiday Lights Parade". The step-off is at 5 pm from Queen and Broad Streets and will continue south on Broad to Church, left on Church to William (we will pass in front of the courthouse), left on William and head north past the elementary school to Broad where the parade will disperse.

We are encouraging everyone to use their imaginations to cover something, anything, in lights and parade it downtown. Light up your dog, your bicycle, your sled, you car, your husband! The wackier it is, the more fun it will be! Drum on the bottom of a five gallon bucket--toot on a kazoo--pass out battery operated candles to the kids and walk the route singing carols, blast carols out of the family van...just have fun and make your friends and family laugh and smile. 'TIS THE SEASON TO MAKE MERRY!

Line up begins at 4:30 pm on Broad between Queen and William--no registration necessary!

Love the idea or hate the idea, most people with any interest at all in the "Land of the Drumlins"--the place within the storied boundaries of Wayne County, New York--have some opinion on the building of an Amtrak train station in the county seat of Lyons.

In perusing the vaults of YouTube, I stumbled upon a video now over two years old that I find perfectly interesting yet today. The video is entitled Why we need the Amtrak Station in Lyons NY and the text description of the video proffers two DYN (Did-you-know?) questions, listed in slightly altered form here.

1) Did you know the distance between Rochester, NY and Syracuse, NY is the longest stretch across all of New York State without an Amtrak train station?

2) Did you know Lyons, NY--the shire town of Wayne County--is in between Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes Wine Country and is on the historical Erie Canal?

 Well, now you know.

The aforementioned video is cast with guests at a Wayne County Bed and Breakfast and the dialogue gives a simple, everyman overview of why a passenger rail stop in Wayne County, New York is important. And that reason spells Tourism with a capital "T".

Find the video included in this story and watch it.

On Sunday, 6 December 2009, at 4:30 pm we will usher in the Holiday Season in a special way. On this evening we will hear readings from Dylan Thomas’s “A Child’s Christmas in Whales,” and the Christmas retelling from St. Luke. After each reading, there will be time to discuss and retell our holiday memories. Since the holiday season is often so fast and furious, it is nice to have a quiet evening to reflect on this joyous time of year. This is free and open to the public. Books, ETC., 78 W Main St., Macedon. If you have any questions, please phone John at (585) 474-4116.
