Description
Canal Days is focused on bringing people into the community and to celebrate, among other things, the Canal being in Spencerport. The aspect we are requesting the donation for is called the Canaligator Race which involves the Canal as part of the fund raising activity. Visitors purchase tickets numbered to match canaligators. Prizes are awarded to those whose canaligators are picked from the Canal after the canaligators are dumped from the lift bridge. Monies raised are to support activites throughout our community. All funds raised from the sale of canaligator tickets are distributed. Below are examples of where the proceeds have been distributed in past years:
- Village of Spencerport - refurbishing benches on Union Street and along the Canal; addition of bicycle racks.
- Aurora House - sign in the front lawn and helped purchase Hovermatts
- Ecumental Food Shelf - funding for perishable foods
- Spencerport Fire Department - purchase of more life rings for along the Canal
- Eagle Star Veteran's House - purchase of a lwan mover and cooking stove
- Vietnam Heros - Flags for along highway
- Open Door Mission - Gift cards for purchasing personal items for the homeless
- Homestead for Hope
- Bench swing for Village Heritage Park Trail
