Aurora House showcases a gallery of Walter Horylev photographs

The family of Walter Horylev, accomplished local photographer and long-time contributor to Westside News, gifted his collection of photos, spanning more than 30 years, to Aurora House Comfort Care Home in appreciation for the care he received there in the days leading up to his death. The annual Starry Night Gala to benefit Aurora House will be the setting for this special display of Horylev’s collection.

Walter Horylev, a resident of Parma, was well known as a representative for Westside News and for the many photographic contributions he made. Photographs in his collection include historical buildings and events, as well as puppies, children, flowers, and carnivals. Over 200 photographs of all sizes will be featured at the Gala for the community to view and purchase. Having personally received news of the donation, Executive Director, Kasey Perkins, shared, “We are honored to showcase Mr. Horylev’s collection of photographs at our Gala this year and are grateful to his family for this very generous gift that will benefit both Aurora House and the community.” 

The Starry Night Gala will be held Friday, April 29, from 6:30 to 10 p.m., at the Plantation Party House in Spencerport. The event, which includes dinner, music, and a silent auction, is the annual fundraiser for Aurora House. Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased at www.aurorahousewmc.com/starry-night-gala/.
