MANCHESTER – Manchester and Shortsville are all in on the holidays.

Reindeer on display last Saturday helped give the Manchester Fire Department open house a festive flair. The reindeer then joined a parade, with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, after a busy afternoon of posing for pictures and listening to the wishes of boys and girls, getting a ride aboard a sleigh driven by horses.

They were accompanied by tractors of all sizes on their way to the American Legion in Shortsville for a community tree lighting and festivities with the Lions Club.
