June’s concert:

The Joy Project – will open again between Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Saturdays 10-4 & Sundays 12-4

The Joy Project, an exhibit inspired by the former Sibley’s Department Store in downtown Rochester, brings old-time Christmas to life at the Exhibit Hall at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 1 East Main Street, LeRoy. Visitors will see a huge Christmas village and train display as well as “department store windows” with animatronics and accompanying story, an idea that came directly from the Sibley’s Enchanted Tunnel of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Hand-painted murals of Christmases of yesteryear by local artist Lorie Longhany were funded by a grant from GoArt! (Genesee Orleans Regional Arts Council). NEW DISPLAYS have been added for 2025.

A key feature of this exhibit is the one-of-a-kind diorama of the 1937 radio show “The Cinnamon Bear.” Constructed by a Chicago-area model builder in the 1980s, it was displayed in a Chicago department store Christmas display, and when it needed a new home, this location was selected. An extensive newscast was aired last year on Chicago PBS station WETA about this diorama and the need for a new home. https://www.pbs.org/video/man-created-miniature-maybeland-in-his-portage-park-home-18h/

The Christmas Shop is open for business, where you will find a wonderful assortment of affordable Christmas decorations and new gift items.

New this year – Hands-on Brio Train Table for the younger crowd, Santa’s Chair that used to be in the old Vic Blood’s store on Main St., a tiered Christmas tree with three levels of buildings and trains, a collection of historic Christmas cards, and the Joy Theater (playing stories read by community members, old-time Christmas radio shows, and Christmas memories).

This exhibit is open and free to the public on Saturdays from 10-4 and Sundays from 12-4 between Thanksgiving and Christmas. And, yes, kazoos will be available for sale—just like they were at Sibley’s!
