#TransformationTuesday: It’s surreal to see how things have changed in a year as I continue to share these “throwback” memories with you. On this date last year (12/8/2019) I was attending the “37th Annual Troy Victorian Stroll” with friends, listening to live music, standing in wooden barrels with Victorian Strollers, and enjoying the holiday festivities. The kickoff season to the “38th Annual Troy Victorian Stroll” I went to this past Sunday (12/6/2020) with friends was alright but it wasn’t the same. Not many patrons were out and about where we were at the River Street Market & Loft 433, taking part in the holiday festivities. We had to wear our face masks due to the pandemic, we did enjoy free hot chocolate from Mazzone’s Hospitality, and I got to hear Sax-O-Claus & Josh the Elf perform again with my friend, Jen Jenny!! Although the holiday spirit felt in Troy was present, it still wasn’t the same. It was sad to see how deep of an impact this virus has on all businesses and events this holiday season and in particular, “The Troy Victorian Stroll” that brings so many people together to celebrate and enjoy the holiday season. I hope that things improve for us all soon!! Happy Tuesday!! Enjoy the throwbacks from the stroll. (Selected photos taken by Amy L. Modesti.
