Septemberfest

It looks like the village may be participating for the second year in what I regard as one of the most inventive events that Brockport has to offer: Septemberfest. If you haven’t heard of it, that’s probably because as annual events go, Septemberfest is in its infancy. Started in 2003, the festival has grown each year to include more and more churches, community groups and organizations.

The goal, according to coordinator Norm Frisch (who’s a heck of guy and a huge supporter of our community—I enjoyed working with him on the promotion of last summer’s visit of the canal schooner Lois McClure) is to promote fun and fellowship. Add that there’s entertainment, food, and games for kids, and it’s hard to top Septemberfest as one of summer’s final festivals.

Septemberfest activities will take place 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sept. 13 outdoors at various churches, on parts of State and Erie streets, and at Sagawa Park.

This year, a tip of the hat is in order to Trustee Connie Casteñeda, who will represent the village at the event. Trustee Casteñeda also volunteered her time at Septemberfest last year. So if you’re interested in perhaps filling a vacancies on one of Brockport’s municipal boards, stop down to the village’s table and say hello.
