October 20, 2023 (Canandaigua, NY) ─ Competition and camaraderie were on display at the Trolley Station Apartments in Canandaigua during the third Annual Bean Bags and Barbecue competition. Following a cookout in the courtyard, first responders from across the area were paired up with residents of the Trolley Station Apartments for the cornhole competition.
