Hello and welcome back to Rochester, NY our back yard. Today we would like to share with you our day enjoying the annual Fairport Canal Days Festival. This annual event is one of the many festivals here in Rochester and celebrates this town on the Erie Canal which extends from Albany to Buffalo.

We hope you have enjoyed this moment in time and hope to see you back soon.
