The LeRoy Commercial Club has announced the schedule for LeRoy’s first-ever Fall Fest, a day with food, events and activities for all ages.

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5 at North (Baumbach) Park in collaboration with LeRoy-Ostrander Community Education.

Fall Fest will include a farmer’s and vendor’s market, games, baking contest, a “Pie in the Face” event, color run/walk, golf cart and ATV parade, a trunk-or-treat event and food offerings.

In addition, anyone shopping at A Gift to Gab, Ed’s Floral & Gifts, Emporium 56, Sweet’s Hotel, Travel Lanes or the Fall Bazaar at First Presbyterian Church the day of Fall Fest, can get a special card punched to enter it in a drawing for $50 in LeRoy Bucks at Fall Fest.

“We’re always looking for new ideas to make our community an attractive place to live and visit and support our businesses at the same time,” said Brent Dohlman, who is the club’s president. “Fall Fest will combine all those goals.”

“Join us at Fall Fest to celebrate our wonderful community and support local businesses,” Dohlman said,

The LeRoy Commercial Club consists of LeRoy businesses, groups and individuals who pursue the shared mission of making LeRoy a vibrant community and an attractive place to shop, play and live. The club meets monthly. New members are always welcome.
