Walnut Hill Carriage Driving Competition is held annually at Walnut Hill Farm in mid-August.
Qualified coaches and carriages and their teams and drivers compete for distance and time and through a slalom course to win ribbons and cash prizes (but mostly to win the prestige of being the best). The observers will be also treated to terrier dog races, displays of carriage equipment and activities for both adults and kids within the carriage theme. Live music (fiddlers and singers and bag-pipers) will be on hand to entertain the crowds in between races. A picnic dinner will be served on one of the evenings.

The Rochester International Airport is not the easiest place to get to. For some reason, Rochester has been unable to attract the volume or air trafic needed to keep prices low, and make Rochester very accessable. Flying into Buffalo, Toronto Cananda, or even Syracuse might save you a few bucks.
Update: In the past few months there have been a few airline additions. JetBlue into Rochester, and Vanguard Air into Buffalo offer very inexpensive flights.
Everyone drives. Taxis area available, though they come out from the city and airport; it will take them 5 to 20 minutes to get to you. The Rochester Transit Service (RTS) runs right through town, and makes it easy to get into the City of Rochester.
I would recommend renting a car. Without one, you will be very limited.
In the Village, most people walk.

clementine31129 Says: okay, this ones not something to really be concerned about, but I guess if you're coming here (not that anyone ever comes here, but whatever) then you should at least know. Pittsford is the one suburb of Rochester (okay maybe Brighton as well, but not so much so), and theres...
This began as a practice course for the college students and now is a public 9-hole course.
$15 gets you a cart and the course. 2700 yards and a par 33 on a pretty wide open course.
Old growth trees are fairly widely spaced and do not provide much hazard in the rough.
The greens and fairways are well kept and the greens are mostly flat. This is a marvelous course for a beginner.
