Health alert, civic debates, and a duck race Friday

From the blog · Adam Stetzer

Two things are true about Pittsford this week: there's something urgent to pass along — a measles exposure at Strong Memorial Sept. 7–8 — and something worth showing up for, a food truck festival and duck race this Friday. In between, your trustees are revising a bike law they just passed, a debate over where Frederick Douglass belongs on the village green is getting real, and a Sutherland athlete and St. John Fisher's 10th straight milestone class are quiet reminders of what this community builds.
