This year's Wheel Fest is combining the best of the old with some new and exciting entertainment. New this year will be hot air balloon rides, a Mercy Flight helicopter, blacksmith demonstrations and a silent auction. There will also be many local crafters.

Committee member Linda Eichas said the Wheel Fest is designed to show Hamlin's true colors.

"We try to keep all of our entertainment local," said Eichas. "About 80 percent of our craft vendors come from Hamlin and Brockport."
