Falling wet snow could not deter many residents from braving the elements to enjoy the Honeoye Falls Fire Department’s Parade of Lights on December 14, 2019. The parade featured fire trucks, such as the one above from Honeoye Falls or the one below from Pittsford, as well as other area communities decorated in bright holiday colors. The event is always a colorful one. After the parade,, attendees were able to enjoy hot cocoa and cookies at the fire hall or a bowl of hot chili or macaroni and cheese at the Village Hall.
