 | | 2008 Winning pumpkin only wieghed 253 lbs!!! |
It's time to get growing!
The Sodus Chamber of Commerce will again host the second annual Harvest Fest on October 3 and they are looking for the biggest pumpkins, watermelons and sunflowers. In order to help things along, Grandpa's Nursery in Sodus, DeFisher's Greenhouses and the Country Hardware will give you two free "Atlantic Giant" pumpkins seeds if you bring in the ad and spend $10.00. Quantities are limited so hurry. If growing gigantic pumpkins is more than you want to take on, the Chamber will also be judging "Big" ones that weigh less than 100 pounds. A youth division plus the adult (13 years and older) will be able to win first, second and third place ribbons with pumpkins, watermelons or sunflowers.
Other plans for Harvest Fest, that will be held on Sodus Central School grounds, include a baking contest for adult and youth divisions with ribbons awarded. The "Hats and Jammies" parade will let kids of all ages strut their stuff in their pajamas; and if they want to make a silly hat then that's all the better. There will also be fire trucks, antique tractors and more. Sodus Central school kids will be participating in all sorts of ways such as bike races, music and other demonstrations that are still in the planning stages.
Vendor applications are being taken for just about anything. Last year's vendors had lots of food like warm apple crisp and homemade soup, not to mention the kettle corn. The lawn and garden tractors display was also big hit. The Sodus Methodist Church is again handling the farmer's market portion.

Sodus...
Crown Jewel
of Lake Ontario
The Township of Sodus is located on the shoreline of Lake Ontario in northern Wayne County. Route 104 spans the township and links us with Rochester and Syracuse in less than one hour. A 20 minute drive on Route 14 which runs north and south thru Lyons is a direct route to the Thruway (Interstate 90). Also to our south on Route 88 is Newark. Both Newark and Lyons are located on the historic Erie Canal.
The Sodus Williamson Airport serves corporate customers as well as providing private flying lessons. The 3,800 ft hard surface asphalt runway has modern lighting and taxiways. The U.S. Coast Guard has a storage facility there and flies search and rescue missions as needed. The Ontario Midland Railroad runs along Route 104 for approximately 56 miles and carries food products, lumber, fertilizer, pulpboard and chemicals to and serves the commercial needs of the community
The Town is comprised of two villages; Sodus and Sodus Point, as well as the hamlets of Alton, Joy, Sodus Center, South Sodus, and Wallington. The main industry is fruit orchards of apples, cherries, peaches, and prunes. Many of the farms make their produce available to the public in farm markets along the roadsides. Tourism along Lake Ontario and Great Sodus Bay is the second largest industry. Many related enterprises, such as marinas, fishing charters and excursions abound. Some of our commercial enterprises include Dynalec Corp, Pace Electronics, and Heluva Good Cheese.
Reminders of our past are visible in the Wallington Cobblestone School, which is in the National Register of Historic Places, as well as numerous cobblestone homes. The Shaker religious settlement at Alasa Farms is now home to the Cracker Box Palace which is a farm animal sanctuary and The ALASA Academy (The Alternative Learning Academy for Student Achievement), a not for profit organization dedicated to the nurturing and development of children.
Sodus Point provides an ideal starting point for sailing, swimming, or golfing. The area offers fishing in winter or summer for some of the best Coho Salmon, Lake, Brown, or Rainbow Trout. The Sodus Bay Lighthouse, built in 1824, has an excellent maritime museum and the view of the white sandy beach and Chimney Bluffs in the distance is spectacular.
Wintertime brings the swish of skiing downhill at Brantling Hill, the roar of the snowmobiles or the solitude of ice fishing. Shopping may be done at any one of the of the many unique shops and stores in the area such as the Heluva Good Cheese Country Store which features itˇ¦s own Heluva Good Cheese.
Restaurants are many and varied. You can enjoy both casual and fine dining - prime rib, German potato salad or hot dogs and ice cream sundaes. Many taverns feature live entertainment and local talent.
Sodus Central School provides sound education, as well as the BOCES Vocational Center. The Sodus Free Library is augmented by the Pioneer Library System and guarantees the most up-to-date information and books, and is nationally recognized as a Top Ten American Library.
Emergency services are handled by the N.Y. State certified ambulance corps from Sodus, Sodus Center, Alton, and Sodus Point. Fire protection comes from the five individual fire companies, and the local police are reinforced by the Wayne County Sheriff or the NY State Police.
