Thank you to all individuals, organizations and businesses who donated items and those who bit on the wonderful wreaths, trees and gift baskets.All proceeds benefit the Perinton Historical Society and support its operation of the Fairport Museum and sponsorship of historical speakers and educational events.
The event has raised more than $11,000 in its first five years and proceeds have been used to work on special projects, such as the museum exhibit reorganization that occurred in 2018.
The Society is so appreciative of its donors, special event attendees and bidders!

Fundraising 2016
Third Annual Yuletide Traditions - a Fun Fundraiser!
Once again, the Society was overwhelmed by the generous support of the community, including the many members who donated and/or bid on the beautiful array of trees, wreaths, baskets, certificates, and other unique items in our annual Yuletide Traditions event. The Society successfully hosted a variety of programs and festive events for several hundred people – and raised over $2,100.
Unique to this year’s mix of items were 16 Swedish Cookie trees created by Joyce Lyle and her son, Jamie, and by Jolene and Fred Smith. The trees and ginger cookies are part of the Swedish celebration of the Christmas holiday, which runs throughout December until St. Knut’s Day, January 13, when the trees are taken down and the cookies eaten.
