It was the worst of times, it was the strangest of times. In 2020, against the backdrop of historic demonstrations and social unrest and a once-in-a-lifetime health crisis, Canandaigua officials had to figure out what to do about a kangaroo yes, you read that right and a wandering bear. That s not all. Rochester put a public servant on a doughnut, was ready to believe that animals had escaped from the Seneca Park Zoo and watched a Zamboni machine go up in flames. So many anomalous occurrences. Here are a few that stood out.
Thereâs an old saying in show business: âThe show must go on.â
And this fall, the Choruses & Theatre of Avon Central School took the phrase to heart. With the district auditorium undergoing renovation and the COVID-19 pandemic placing limits on gatherings and other restrictions, the theater troupe found a way to continue what has become a more than 20-year holiday tradition in the community.
The schoolâs annual musical production of âScroogeâ will be presented for a 22nd consecutive year when a filmed version premieres at 7 p.m. Dec. 22 on the big screen at the Vintage Drive-In, 1520 West Henrietta Rd., Avon.
