Fall Fest
The LeRoy Commercial Club is teaming up with LeRoy-Ostrander Community Education to present the first-ever Fall Fest at North Park. See the full schedule of events below.
In addition, be sure to ask for a punch card when you shop at A Gift to Gab, Ed’s Floral & Gifts, Emporium 56, Sweet’s Hotel & Restaurant, Travel Lanes or the Fall Bazaar at First Presbyterian Church. Each purchase earns you a punch, and each punch is an entry into the Commercial Club’s drawing for $50 in LeRoy Bucks at 4 p.m. This promotion runs during Fall Fest only.
