Sparkling Display to Support Local History and Community Spirit begins November 29
From the Thelma Rogers Genealogical & Historical Society,
WELLSVILLE, NY — The holiday season in Wellsville is about to shine a little brighter with the debut of a new holiday tradition, the Jingle & Glow Holiday Lights. This brand-new community exhibit will transform the Fassett Greenspace on Main Street into a vibrant and immersive holiday maze to enjoy year after year.
The display will run daily from dusk until 9 p.m. starting November 29, 2025, through January 4, 2026, and will complement the Village’s traditional holiday displays along Main Street. With the hospital’s yearly tree lighting on the north end, and the new Jingle & Glow at the Fassett Greenspace, our Main Street will be a gorgeous and immersive holiday experience for residents to create memories and share in community pride.
“We are working to enhance and expand the holiday history and tradition of decorating the Wellsville Village,” said Jackie Comstock, a passionate Wellsville activist and founding committee member of this initiative. “We also expect this display will entice visitors, fostering economic engagement during this festive time of year.”
Proceeds from Jingle & Glow will benefit the Thelma Rogers Genealogical & Historical Society (TRGHS), a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich history of Wellsville and the surrounding area. The TRGHS owns and operates the Nathaniel Dike Museum, located at 118 E. Dyke Street, a treasured local landmark in the Village of Wellsville that highlights the area’s heritage through exhibits and historical archives.
Additional funding for “Jingle & Glow” is needed to purchase LED lights, other outdoor displays, lighting equipment, and signage. Cash donations of any size are welcome. Want to make a big difference? See below for sponsorship opportunities.
