When you have an event in December in New York, you certainly gamble with the weather. Storm warnings early in the day on Dec. 6 did not stop the organizers of Owego’s Lights on the River from proceeding with festivities.
Many who attended spent time in the shops and with Santa, and they crowded Lake Street to browse the vendors. With fireworks sponsored by The Pumpelly Estate, those seeking a holiday experience bundled up and headed downtown for the lighting of the tree and lights, to see Santa, enjoy the carolers, participate in the ATV / UTV parade, or simply to take in the sights and sounds.
