FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CANCELLATION OF

THE 2020 CONESUS LAKE ASSOCIATION SPONSORED EVENTS  

 

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THE LAKE OF FIRE?

  • The “Lake of Fire” is an annual event dating back to the 1930s organized by the Conesus Lake Cottagers Association, now known as the Conesus Lake Association (CLA).  The flare distribution is organized each year by the CLA Board of Directors and enacted by the Section Supervisors and Lake Representatives in each area delivering information on the CLA and flares to residents around the lake.  In support of the mission of the CLA, to promote the safety and wellness of those who live on and use Conesus Lake, this year’s July 3rd CLA sponsored Lake of Fire events have officially been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

WHAT IS THE HARM IN HOSTING THE EVENT THIS YEAR?

  • Orchestrating the lake of fire involves coordination and face to face interaction with over 100 representatives of the CLA and to each of the 1400 households around the lake; which, at this point introduces unnecessary risks to these individuals. 

 

  • Vitale and Long Point parks attract 1,000s of viewers to view the Lake of Fire and fireworks – people cannot social distance at that volume and they would not only put our community at risk, but also the employees of the parks and Sheriff’s Department.

 

  • This event attracts many visitors from not only the Livingston County area, but outside of the county and NY State.  With so many nearby larger Counties and Cities canceling events through the summer, the CLA not canceling this event, may even attract more visitors, potentially increasing the risk to our community.
