The Spencerport Volunteer Firemen’s Association would like to provide an update to the community on the status of the annual carnival. Once again, we are grateful for the many messages of encouragement from the community and we thank everyone for their generous support and understanding.
The leadership of the association has made the difficult decision not to proceed with this year’s event. The current pandemic restrictions that are still in effect state-wide regarding outdoor amusements presented challenges to the Firemen’s Association and with our ride provider, Hammerl Amusements. These restrictions have made it unrealistic to proceed this year.
Although recent updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control allows for the lifting of some COVID restrictions, the New York State Department of Health and Executive’s Office have not provided enough guidance that would allow for a widely attended community event. We will keep everyone updated through our social media platforms and our website on possible future activities. It is regrettable that this action was taken, but there was no other option.
In closing, we are just as disappointed as you to have to deliver this message. The Firemen’s Association relies heavily on this event as one of our largest and most important fundraisers. Please accept our sincerest thanks for your continued support for the members of your 100 percent volunteer fire department.
Chris Damon, President
Spencerport Volunteer Firemen’s Association
