The village of Victor kicked off the holiday season with "Christmas in the Village."
The one-day event started with a breakfast with Santa and ended with the village's tree lighting ceremony. Everyone was invited to enjoy Christmas entertainment like face painting and visiting with Christmas characters while doing a little Christmas shopping.
Organizers were hoping the traffic would encourage residents to shop local this year.
"When you look at all the different places talk about Black Friday and Cyber Monday where everyone is going outside of their towns to go shopping... it's about coming to your town, your village, your local center where the heartbeat of your local community is," says Tim Maher, the Victor Merchants Group President.
This is Victor's first "Christmas in the Village" and plans for next year's are already underway.
