D. George Elementary School\u00a0and onto Volunteer Ave. back to the Verona Fire Hall. Folks are encouraged to line the parade route to wave to\u00a0some of the great law enforcement and firefighters that serve the Town of Verona as well as Santa Claus as he\u00a0makes his way to the event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe last seven years I\u2019ve held this community event, it\u2019s been a success because of all the children and adults that attended, as well as the volunteers, businesses, and media that helped,\u201d said Scherz.\u00a0 <!--more-->\u201cAlthough I\u2019m not\u00a0finished finalizing the complete fun-filled lineup of activities and guests, as with prior years I plan on having kid-oriented activities, including arts and crafts. There\u2019ll be some fantastic musicians as well as story-telling by some\u00a0special guests, too. The family-oriented fun will continue to be part of this holiday event, too. Hopefully, Santa Claus\u00a0will take time out of his busy schedule to attend. I also want people to know that as with the last seven years I\u2019ve held this event, no town funds are being used for it whatsoever as this is not a government-based event.\u00a0 I encourage all residents of Verona, no matter what their age is, to stop by and take part in the festivities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Holiday Party for all Town of Verona residents has free admission and snacks will also be available. If able, attendees are asked to bring a canned good, as a collection will be taken and given to the Verona Food Pantry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more details, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fritzscherz.com\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/www.fritzscherz.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1512685545869000&amp;usg=AFQjCNF2JjXSeJnaXHO4AQVlqatJn0PJ7w\">fritzscherz.com<\/a>\u00a0or contact Fritz at <a href=\"mailto:fritz@fritzscherz.com\">fritz@fritzscherz.com<\/a> or\u00a0<a href=\"tel:(315)%20363-3509\">(315) 363-3509<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If any businesses want to inquire about making a donation, please contact Fritz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fred \u201cFritz\u201d Scherz, Jr., Councilman on the Verona Town Board, will hold his eighth annual holiday party for all Town of Verona residents on Sunday, December 10th\u00a0from 1pm to 3pm at the Verona Fire Hall (5555 Volunteer Ave.) in Verona.
