Your shot, their art, and a man back on stage

From the blog · Adam Stetzer

A Pittsford man with dementia got back on stage this year because of music therapy — that's the piece worth sitting with this week. Alongside it: Monroe County's reminder to get your flu shot before the season peaks, a student art show on October 17 raising money for Habitat for Humanity, and the October 9 Village bulletin to keep you current on what's happening in the village.

Village of Pittsford Bulletin — October 9, 2026

Village offices closed Monday, October 12 for Columbus Day/Indigenous People's Day; DPW after-hours emergencies: (585) 340-1433
