East Aurora 2022 Carolcade

by

The Brothers of Blazing Star Lodge #694 in East Aurora, New York teamed up with the East Aurora Cub Scout Pack #514 for the 2022 East Aurora Carolcade. The Scouts handed out sweet cookies while the Brothers handed out delicious hot cider generously donated by Mayer Bros. Before the night was complete 15 gallons of cider was passed out to the thirsty and cold carolers. Everyone had a great time and the scouts even signed up a few new cubs. We cannot wait until next year to do it again!
