I win the award for the Jewish girl who knows more Christmas song lyrics than any other in America!  I'm not sure what that will get me other than a joyous December, but it sure is fun to have all the tunes running through my head.  I DO have the spirit, do you?

FLCC to host Commodore Cup charity high school hoops event

 

FLCC will host basketball games between high school rivals Canandaigua and Victor to benefit the Victor-Farmington Food Cupboard and the Canandaigua Churches in Action food pantry.

 

The second Commodore Cup will be held on Friday, Dec. 20, in the FLCC gym, 3325 Marvin Sands Drive, Canandaigua. The girls team plays at 6 p.m. and the boys at 7:30 p.m. Once on the main campus road, visitors should turn left on Laker Lane and follow the road up the hill behind the main building to the parking area nearest the gym.

 

The event is named for its sponsor, Commodore Plastics, a foam products company in East Bloomfield. Brad Braddon, president of Commodore Plastics, has children in Victor schools and his siblings, Jeff and Anne, have children in the Canandaigua district.

 

"This makes for a fun rivalry," said Braddon. "This is a community event that we are happy to be a part of."

 

Entry is $5 general admission or $3 with student ID. Doug Emblidge, anchor at Rochester 13WHAM news, will emcee an awards ceremony following the games, while the public address system will be manned by Pete "The Mayor" Kennedy, host of the morning show on Rochester radio station 100.5 The Drive.
