Christmas in Ellicottville

November 24

Tentative Opening Day Holiday Valley

By Alicia Dziak

The Thanksgiving break is all about family, and after you’ve stuffed yourself with turkey and mashed potatoes, what better way to start the Christmas season than with family in Ellicottville? Ellicottville’s Chamber of Commerce has been hosting “Christmas in Ellicottville” for decades and every year, new events and activities are added to the schedule. The festivities begin on Friday, Nov. 24 with fire truck rides with Santa from noon to 2 p.m. Other afternoon activities include face painting, horse and wagon rides from 1 to 4 p.m. at Katy’s, interactive children’s activities from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at the Wingate by Wyndham, with the big guy himself making an appearance there from 2:15 to 3:30 p.m. From 5 to 7 p.m., guests can meet a real reindeer at the 1887 Building, where the Village Tree Lighting will also take place at 6 p.m., with the Ellicottville Sound Chorus performing from 5 to 7 p.m. Enjoy hot cocoa with Santa from 6 to 7. On Saturday, Nov. 25, the holiday magic continues with a free pancake breakfast with Santa at Finnerty’s Tap Room from 10 to 11 a.m., where nonperishable food items and cash donations for the Ellicottville Food Pantry will be accepted. There will once again be face painting, fire truck rides with Santa from 1 to 3 p.m., and horse and wagon rides from 1 to 4. Enjoy the food of the season with cookie decorating at Howard Hanna Realty from 1 to 3 p.m., or enjoy ornament

#GivingTuesday and #NYGivesDay is Nov. 28 By Rich Place

On Thanksgiving, Americans have the opportunity to give thanks for what they have. Five days later, they have the opportunity to give financially to help during the holiday season and give to

organizations in need. Now in its sixth year, Giving Tuesday — and perhaps better recognized by its social media hashtag, #givingtuesday — kicks off the charitable season by advocating for See Giving Tuesday page 6

Ellicottville Town Board Approves 2018 Budget

By Rich Place

Last week, the Ellicottville Town Board unanimously passed its 2018 budget with a tax rate of 1.27 per $1,000, a figure the board touted as one of the best in the region. “Our highlight every year in our low rate,” said Town Supervisor Matthew

McAndrew, following the town board meeting. “We got — if not the lowest — one of the lowest in the county.” McAndrew said the creation of the engineering department, which will be a shared service between the town and village through an agreement by both municipalities, was one of the

challenges in developing next year’s spending plan. “We are hoping we are going to get grant money but we have to budget a certain amount to get it off the ground and that was a certain amount we didn’t have last year,” he said. See Town Board page 6

Canadian Friendship Week Jan. 2 - 8 During this week, lift tickets and rental equipment are at par when paying with Canadian cash or check at Holiday Valley. “Bob McCarthy’s” Irish Christmas, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Ellicottville enters its 12th year at Ellicottville Brewing Company (EBC) on Friday December 1st. The Irish Christmas tradition continues in Bob’s honor as he touched so many in Ellicottville with his spirit and generosity. Although it can never be the same with

‘Bob McCarthy’s’ Irish Christmas –2017

his passing, Bob’s dedication to this event inspires us to continue with his magic. It was McCarthy who said “I love doing Irish Christmas which is a night of Irish magic. I don’t know how the magic gets there, but it just does. That’s the beauty of it.” Bob McCarthy’s Irish Christmas fundraiser has become an event to remember and one that locals and weekenders alike don’t miss. McCarthy’s wagon will be parked outside of EBC starting around 7 a.m., where new toys and unwrapped gifts are collected for Santa’s Workshop and the Sheriffs Santa Program, both of which provide gifts to

make Christmas a little special for less fortunate families Again this year a number of restaurants will serve a special Irish dish at a reasonable price or you can order from the great EBC menu. The highlight of course is the Pie Auction with fantastic pies baked by the great home chefs

of Ellicottville. Your mouth will water when you see some of these unique pies from secret family recipes. Many of the pies will be auctioned in their own unique pie box or with a special piece. For those who are too shy to buy one in the auction, some pies will be for sale on their own.

WVDP Volunteers Donate to Local Food Pantries

By Deb Everts

To spread good will for the upcoming holiday season, employees from the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) and its subcontractors gathered Friday at Sander’s Parkview, volunteering their time and energy to once again distribute food to nine local food pantries. According to volunteer coordinator Lettie Chilson, this year’s WVDP Food Drive fundraising effort included food donations from employees themselves and was responsible for the distribution of 102,000 pounds of food, including 360 turkeys, to area pantries. Chilson said 40 turkeys will go to each of the nine food pantry sites at Ellicottville, Franklinville, Delevan, West Valley, Little Valley, Cattaraugus, Dayton, and two pantries in Springville. She said the total amount of food could change if they get any last minute donations. “We were able to provide each site with over 200 bags of food to benefit local families,” she said. “Some of the sites distribute between 150 to 200 bags, while others do a smaller number, but the larger pantries like Springville and Franklinville have the largest need in Cattaraugus County (and the surrounding area) and we are able to help out a lot.” The food drive started as a

drive just for the local West Valley food pantry; Chilson said WVDP has been doing this drive for over 25 years and every year it has grown. She said all the volunteers for this drive are members of the team, and they have embraced this event as their big team effort charity for the year. “We’ve partnered with Sander’s Parkview but, in the past, Springville Wal-Mart has provided turkeys,” she said. “Wal-Mart would have provided the turkeys again this year, but Parkview was able to get them for us.” A store employee at Sander’s Parkview said owners Jake and Mark Sanders participate in this food drive for area pantries because they are very familyoriented and they don’t want to see families go without. Chilson said Sander’s Parkview and American B & B are major subcontractors at West Valley. They participate by either donations or through their employees who volunteer. “So, it really is a team at West Valley, along with our customers, the United States Department of Energy (USDOE) and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). All of their employees participate,” she said. Joe Pillittere, communications manager for

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED FOR OVER 20 YEARS

WVDP, said this is his first year working at the WVDP site, but it’s not his first year volunteering for the annual food drive. “I was here participating in 2000 and 2003 when we did the food drive, but it has expanded to nine pantries since then,” he said. “The drive changes yearly. We collect more food and it gets better every year.” According to Chilson, not only does this collected food cover Thanksgiving, it also carries over toward the Christmas holiday. She said the Friday delivery was what they had on-hand as of Tuesday, that she can confirm, and the drive continues for two more days. When the final accounting is done, they’ll buy additional turkeys for the Christmas season for all the food pantries. Chilson said, since its

inception, 1.3 million pounds of food have been distributed from this volunteer program through the West Valley Demonstration facility. Through donations, 102,000 equivalent pounds will be distributed this year, but not everything is in yet. “The food that was loaded on the truck today at Sander’s Parkview was just a representative of all the thousands of pounds of food that has been donated and will be distributed prior to Thanksgiving Day,” she said on Friday. Pillittere said the bottom line really is this type of effort from employees, subcontractors and their partners at the USDOE and NYSERDA really helps build the quality of life for not only the employees, but the community itself.

Winter has arrived, and for many of us, the transition from summer to fall and fall to winter is never easy. You still crave those warm summer nights and the idea of seeing a temperature below your age is frightening. For those of you struggling to stay motivated to do anything more than curl up on the couch, exercise, in any form, can actually help clear your winter blues. Be creative and don’t stop just because the snow has fallen. If you’re a person who loves to exercise outdoors, use the change of weather as a time to try something new and change up your own workout

Beat the Winter Blues with Regular Exercise with your family. Any way to stay active is a good way. An exercise DVD makes it easier to exercise at any time in any season. Research some DVDs online and find the type of exercise you would like to do at home. If you have limited space, try a Yoga or Pilates DVD because it involves a lot of mat work, which is great for apartment living. If you have more space, try a full body workout that incorporates strength training and plyometrics. Find what type of workout works for you, in the space that you have available. Many libraries carry exercise DVDs that you can rent out, so call your local library and see what they have available. Research has shown time and again that regular exercise strengthens your immune system so it can fight off bacterial and viral infections. This becomes particularly important in winter when colds and flu rear their ugly heads. When you exercise and get your blood pumping, immune cells circulate through your body more quickly, helping

plan. Prepare for winter by buying a package at the local fitness studio or purchase some personal training sessions at the gym. If you’re used to exercising after work or in the evening, try to make adjustments and workout in the morning. At the end of the day, you’re more likely to opt out of exercising if you’re tired and stuck in traffic because of bad weather. Exercising in the morning gets your workout out of the way so you relax at night and get cozy on the couch. Winter weather offers a wide array of fun activities to do that can involve the whole family. Try a new winter sport like ice skating, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing or even sledding. Taking up a new activity that has an expiration date can be motivating because in a couple months, your opportunity will have melted away. Incorporating a new activity in your life is beneficial for you and your family. Take a group ski lesson with some friends or spend an afternoon running through the snow and sledding

them seek and destroy infections. But this boost only lasts for a few hours, so exercise needs to be regular for long-term effects. And finally, we all know that sunshine seems like a limited commodity during the winter months, so when you see it, enjoy it. Bundle up and get outside. There’s a reason it’s called the sunshine vitamin. While there are a limited number of foods that can provide your body with vitamin D, the easiest source is from exposure of bare skin to sunlight. During summer, a short exposure of 10-15 minutes is plenty, but in winter, sunshine can be harder to come by, especially if you are snuggled up indoors. So that’s why it’s VERY important to get outside and get moving and smile at the sun! Sunshine makes strong bones, and keeps your immune system strong. It can also boost positivity, and help prevent high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer.

After a highly competitive interview process, a group of 19 skiers and four snowboarders were asked to join the Mountain Adventures Children’s Programs teaching staff for the 2017-18 winter season. In the strongest interviewing group in the program’s history, nearly 40 candidates from as far away as Cleveland, OH vied for the opportunity to join the school’s ranks as an instructor-in-training. “Interest in becoming a member of the YETI program has grown steadily in each of the past 10 years,” commented Mountain Adventures Programs Manager, Rich Rumfola. “This year’s group of applicants provided us with an abundance of high-quality young adults who we look forward to having as employees for at least the next four or five years while they’re in high school,” he continued. Conversations with YETI candidates included a series of questions, which covered 10 key characteristics every successful children’s instructor

should possess. Some of those requisites include having a positive, friendly attitude, excellent listening and communications skills, a strong interest in working with children and an awareness of on-snow safety. While members of the YETI program, the teaching interns prepare for a potential position as a ski or snowboard instructor by developing the required safety, class handling, teaching, technical, customer service, interpersonal, and skiing/ snowboarding skills. After a very challenging selection process, this season’s YETIs received notification of their success and then a “call to arms,” to begin their new-hire training Nov. 4-5 at the Creekside Lodge at Holiday Valley. According to Snowsports Co-Director Allie Doro, “The incoming YETIs already present passion and enthusiasm for Holiday Valley, which will provide amazing energy to our staff and guests this winter.” During their initial orientation, new YETIs were taken on walking and bus tours of the Holiday Valley Resort. They enthusiastically embraced various teambuilding and ice-breaking activities and

then bravely endured their first exposure to the world of I-9s, W-4s and all the paperwork that must be completed in order to become an employee. And that was just their first day! Day two of YETI Orientation began with Holiday Valley’s newest employees being fitted for their own world-famous red uniform and then settled in for “classroom” topics such as Your Responsibility Code, chairlift safety and an indepth look at the policies and procedures used in Mountain Adventures Programs. During the season, a YETIs primary responsibilities one day may include working with some of the sport’s youngest beginners, while the next day the young teaching intern’s work assignment could be to ride up on the mountain with one of the groups of children from the Rangers seasonal program. YETIs typically work every other weekend and during the holiday breaks of Christmas Week and President’s Week. The number of positions that are available each season varies and is dependent upon staffing requirements and the number of YETIs that are returning from the previous year.

giving and philanthropy to many organizations on both the national and local level. In New York state, the charitable effort has been taken a step further with #NYGIVESDAY, which last year raised over $11 million across New York state, according to a press release from the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation (CRCF). Locally, the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program is among those listed on the #givingtuesday website. The group announced last week it has set a #givingtuesday goal of $5,000 to be used to purchase special adaptive ski equipment, sponsor scholarships for disadvantaged students and to fund volunteer training and certification programs. “LASP hopes that the positive effects of skiing will carry over and give confidence to various other areas in the individual’s life,” said Mary Ellen Racich, director of the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program.

Those who are interested in joining Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program’s #GiveAdaptiveSports campaign can visit giveadaptivesports.mydagsite. com. Citizens Advocation Memorial Preservation (CAMP), a group dedicated to preserving the Cattaraugus County Memorial Building in Little Valley, also announced it is participating in both #givingtuesday and #NYGIVESDAY on Nov. 28. The group recently acquired the former county museum building across from the county center in Little Valley. To donate anytime, including on #givingtuesday, visit cattcomemorial.com/donate. Many groups are getting creative with their donation opportunities. Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS), a local animal rescue group, allows participants to upload a photo of the donor or their animals to show support for their cause. Donors can visit givinggrid.com/axlehv to

donate anytime, not necessarily on #GivingTuesday. Local organizations listed in the #NYGIVESDAY website, which will tally donation amounts throughout the day on Nov. 28, include Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cattaraugus County, EARS, Saving Grace Outreach in Cattaraugus County and the Blout Library in Franklinville. More than two dozen other organizations — most of which are based in the Olean area — in Cattaraugus County are also featured on the website. Among those more county-based include CRCF, the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, Meals on Wheels of Cattaraugus County, Cattaraugus County Suicide Prevention Coalition, United Way of Cattaraugus County and Council on Addiction Recovery Services. Taking the day even a step further, CRCF is leading the first-ever giving day in Cattaraugus County, Cattaraugus Gives, on #GivingTuesday.

See the solution on page 8.

CRCF to Lead County-Wide Giving Day, Cattaraugus Gives

For 24 hours on Nov. 28, the community will have the opportunity to support more than 35 nonprofits in Cattaraugus County during the first-ever day of giving in Cattaraugus County, Cattaraugus Gives. The Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation will lead Cattaraugus Gives as part of the highly successful #NYGIVESDAY program, which last year raised over $11 million across New York State. Donors can give easily and quickly online at nygivesday. org all day on Nov. 28 to participating organizations. Donors can find a list of local organizations by typing “Olean” in the location search box. A gift to any participating organization on Nov. 28 may also help them win monetary incentives, up to $5,000, being offered by CRCF. Those incentives include: • Most unique donors ($1,500) Second place ($1,000) • First gift prize — for organization that receives the first gift on giving day ($250) • Early bird prize — Most unique donors between 7 and 8 a.m. ($500) • Morning Coffee Prize — most unique donors between 9 and 10 a.m. ($500) • Happy hour prize — most unique donors between 4 and 6 p.m. ($500) • Last hoorah prize — most unique donors between 11 and

12 p.m. ($500) • From a donor far away — awarded to organization with gift from farthest away based on credit card billing address ($250) According to CRCF Executive Director Karen Niemic Buchheit, the board of directors decided to offer incentives to celebrate the work of area nonprofits and the spirit of giving. “We try to support our area nonprofits year-round in any capacity we can — whether it be as a grantmaker, an advisor or a community collaborator,” said Buchheit. “We are always amazed at what these agencies do to help the community, and this is our opportunity to give back to them.” “We trust that the community will come forward and lend its support to the organizations who work so hard to provide essential services,” Buchheit added. “Cattaraugus Gives is about raising money, but it is just as much about giving Cattaraugus a stronger future.” Donors can give to any of the participating organizations on Nov. 28 by visiting nygivesday. org. Donors can search for organizations by name and location.

Town Board Continued from front page

McAndrew said he was satisfied with many aspects of the budget, including the increase in wages and continual work to maintain a healthy fund balance. “Not only do we have a low tax rate, but we are maintaining a healthy fund balance,” he said. “This board recognized that for years before I even got here — the importance of it. It’s a nice place to live when you can do that. “And we are able to make improvements,” McAndrew continued. In reference to the town hall, he said, “We put central air in this building last year, and that’s a huge improvement. Our roads are

getting in better shape and in the future we are going to tackle more culverts.” The board also worked with town officials to develop a five-year plan for equipment replacement and some town infrastructure. “We are slowly starting to develop that and it’s going to make it easier to plan ahead in the coming months,” McAndrew said. During the Nov. 15 town board meeting, McAndrew thanked the board for its work in the budget planning process. “And we’d like to thank you as well,” added town board member Ken Hinman. Also at meeting, board

members heard a positive update from engineer Mark Alianello concerning the progress of the EllicottvilleGreat Valley (EVGV) Trail. He reported the town received a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers for wetlands work in the section of trail from Tim Hortons to the Town Center off Fillmore Avenue. McAndrew said, following the meeting, that trail planners did their best to keep wetland disturbance to a minimum with the trail section and have been working for more than a year to receive the permit.

Celebrate the Season: Snowmen Cookies and Gifts

By Mary Heyl

The snow is falling, which means winter is here to stay! Time to bundle up, hit the slopes and prepare for the holiday season! Celebrate snow this week with some great make-ahead Christmas cookies, snowmen gifts to make or keep, and some festive DIY ornaments that will keep little hands busy when the snow is falling. These snowmen cookies are tasty and fun to make—let the kids help you decorate so you can make a special snowman for each member of the family! Make the dough ahead of time and freeze up to 6 weeks if you’d like to get an early start on holiday baking. In a large bowl, cream 1 cup of softened butter, 1 softened package of cream cheese and 2 cups sugar until blended. Beat in 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and ¼ teaspoon of almond extract. In another bowl, whisk 3 ¾ cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt; gradually beat into the creamed mixture. Refrigerate, covered, for at

least 30 minutes or until firm enough to shape. Preheat the oven to 325°. Place ¼ cup of sugar in a shallow bowl. For each cookie, shape the dough to make one 1-inch ball, one 3/4-inch ball and one 1/2inch ball; press together to form a snowman. Gently coat with sugar. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place the snowmen 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Break thin pretzel sticks in half; press two into snowmen for the arms. Bake 15-18 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Cool on pans for 1 minute. Move to wire racks to cool completely. Pipe icing on snowmen to form scarves, eyes, buttons and mouths. Use icing to attach orange gumdrops for noses (makes about 4 dozen). Thinking of special gifts for teachers, bus drivers, babysitters and friends? These snowmen cocoa jars are the perfect gift that everyone will enjoy! You will need some mason jars, marshmallows (regular size), black and orange edible pens, a bulk container of hot cocoa mix,

cellophane bags or sandwich bags, and tags, stickers and ribbon for decorating. Use the food pens to make snowman faces on the marshmallows. Allow these to dry for about an hour. Fill a clear bag with some hot cocoa mix (about 1 cup) and seal. It’s a good idea to leave some space at the top of the bag so you can maneuver it into the jar. Place marshmallows around the top of the cocoa facing out of the jar and close the lid. If you like, add your own personalized sticker to the top of the jar or attach a tag with the cocoa recipe using a piece of cardstock, a hole punch and a ribbon. The recipe is simple: mix 3 tablespoons of cocoa into a 6-8 ounce mug of hot milk. Enjoy! Explore your crafty side with these easy and festive tea light snowmen ornaments. Use a fine-point black permanent marker to draw a simple face on a battery operated tea light (the flame serves as the nose). Use an orange washable marker to color in the flame so that it is orange when the candle is lit and when it’s off. Next, cut a piece of red pipe cleaner about 2.5 inches long. Curve it around the tea light (above the eyes) and add a small line of hot glue on both ends to hold it in place. Don’t glue it the entire way around so that you can later slide a ribbon under the pipe cleaner to hang it.

Ski Tree Continued from front page

front lawn of the 1887 building on Washington Street. The idea came about when Tyler Burns and Ellicottville attorney John Nelson were thinking that Ellicottville needed a better Christmas tree. Burns said the tree was inspired by the famed 17-foot tall “Telluride Ski Tree” that was the original idea of a group of local Telluride merchants in 2013. He said Ellicottville’s 30foot tree will be nearly twice as tall. “We kind of based our idea off of that, but we wanted to make Ellicottville’s bigger and better,” Burns said. “It’s a little over 30-feet tall and we’re putting about 400 skis on it.” As the tree was going up on Tuesday, Burns said they currently had all the skis they needed and they’d be putting Christmas lights on it soon.

“Maple Grove Enterprises, a welding and building company out of Arcade, did all the welding for us on the main structure. John and I have been drilling some skis and taking some bindings off. We have the crew from APEX Construction helping us assemble it, so it’s all hands on deck,” he said. The Ski Tree is scheduled to be lit on Friday, Nov. 24 around 6 p.m. Burns said with the whole 1887 building lit, as well as the tree on the lawn in front of it, a spectacular light show and music program is planned. He said there will also be a a mini-parade, carolers, and a live Nativity scene strolling downtown. There will also be plenty of events going on in the shops as well. “Being the first year, we’re doing whatever we can to make

the ski tree a success and we’ll grow it from here,” Burns said. “We have plenty of lights to go on this year’s tree, but next year, we hope to add more lights to make an even bigger and better spectacle out of it.” Burns said the tree will be up and lit during the holiday season and all winter long. If everything goes smoothly, they plan to keep it up year-round. To help ease the cost of the tree, monetary donations are still being accepted. The hope is to have commemorative etched ornaments on next year’s tree, which will be offered in the near future as another way to raise money for the tree. Donations can be mailed to John Nelson, P.O. Box 595, Ellicottville, NY 14731.

In the heart of Amish Trail, Just below the Toy Shop

By Mary Heyl

It’s the most wonderful time of the year in the historic village of Randolph, which lies just 20 miles south of Ellicottville! Kick start your holiday shopping in Randolph on Small Business Saturday next weekend. Then, return to Randolph during the weekend of Dec. 2 and 3 for Randolph’s Country Christmas weekend. Read on to discover what awaits you in Randolph! On Saturday, Nov. 25, Randolph businesses are participating in Small Business Saturday. That’s right— instead of heading to the malls and giant retailers for holiday gifts, more and more shoppers choose to patronize locally-owned stores in their community on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Why not visit Randolph next Saturday to shop for a special gift this year? Shop at Randolph Retail Company at 127 Main Street for unique gifts, home décor, and American-made clothing. You’ll love their selection of Zum Bar bath products and Simply Noelle accessories and clothing. Visit Yarn for Ewe

next door at 129 Main Street to stock up on yarn for the winter: lots of yarn to choose from and classes offered year ‘round! Across the street at 150 Main Street, Senn-sations Salon and Day Spa has great specials on gift cards and lots of holiday gift sets and products to pamper the ladies in your life. The weekend after Thanksgiving is also the 7-year anniversary for A Slice of Heaven Alpacas, located at 11144 Pope Road in Randolph. Stop by Mike and Sue Bean’s alpaca farm and their gift shop, Simply Natural Alpaca Gifts, for great deals, drawings, food and more on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 24-25. On Saturday, Dec. 2, the fun begins with the Randolph United Presbyterian Church’s Christmas Cookie House, which starts at 9 a.m.! Buy homemade Christmas cookies by the pound—it’s a great way to try a variety of cookies and save some time on baking and decorating. Then, head east on Main Street to Randolph Central School for their Holiday Craft and Vendor Show from 10 a.m.

to 3 p.m. Since it started just six years ago, the Holiday Craft and Vendor Show, sponsored by the Art Club, has grown to over 100 different vendors that now occupy two gymnasiums. Shop for all kinds of handmade gifts, as well as popular items from home party/catalogue businesses such as Pampered Chef, Norwex, Lipsense and more. Children are invited to see Santa and Mrs. Claus immediately following the craft show at the Randolph Library on Jamestown Street from 3 to 5 p.m. At 6 p.m., Randolph’s Christmas Parade, sponsored and organized by Expressions Performing Arts Center, begins at the Randolph Municipal Building. For the second year, the Christmas parade is taking place at night; enjoy the “Light Up the Night” theme, as well as Christmas lights and décor in storefront windows. The Saturday festivities conclude with the Memory Tree Ceremony in the triangle park at 7:30 p.m. Purchase a memory tree ornament now through Dec. 1 to honor a loved one’s memory or celebrate the life of someone special to you. All names will be read aloud and honored at the ceremony, and ornaments will decorate Randolph’s Christmas tree throughout the season. Memory Tree ornaments are $5 each and can be purchased online at http://enjoyrandolph.org/ events/country-christmas/. Throughout the weekend, the East Randolph United Methodist Church will present their Living Nativity. Friday’s and Saturday’s performances begin at 7 p.m. at the church, and Saturday’s Living Nativity will feature a live camel! Stay up-to-date on Randolph’s Christmas events by following Enjoy Randolph on Facebook and visiting www. EnjoyRandolph.org. For more information about upcoming holiday events, contact the Randolph Area Community Development Corporation at (716)358-9701 ext. 208 or email racdc@randolphny.net.
