Conquest is abuzz with excitement as it gears up for its second annual Community Day on August 3. The event kicks off at 2 p.m. with a Kiddie Parade featuring Olympic-style medals as prizes. Attendees can enjoy a variety of vendors, including raffles by Port Byron alumni, baked goods from Emerson Church, and unique crafts. Highlights include a chicken barbecue from the Conquest Fire Department, food trucks, games, a bouncy house, and fireworks at dusk.
The town’s recreation field has been lively with celebrations, including class reunions and graduation parties. Upcoming events include a church service and a Day of Service on August 5, dedicated to packing health kits for emergency use. These community gatherings underscore Conquest’s vibrant spirit and pride in its facilities.
Adding to the town’s charm are two new roadside vendors: a produce stand north of the Seneca River bridge and a home-baked goodies stand at 10133 Route 38. Local favorites include Doug Krupka’s flower and produce stand, encouraging residents to support local businesses.
