The Genesee County Chamber of Commerce is celebrating its 50th birthday.
Instead of cutting a cake, they cut a ceremonial ribbon at their Park Road office.
John Dwyer was one of the original county chamber leaders. He told WBTA last night the basic role of the chamber has remained the same for the past half-century

Attending the ceremony were chamber leaders past and present.
Chamber leaders say they have had about 30 business “ribbon cuttings” over the past year.
Mercy Flight, the medical helicopter service, says they are not conducting a door-to-door fundraising campaign. Someone has been going around trying to solicit donations.
If you have been approached, call Batavia Police.

The region is once again showing its pride in the Buffalo Bills.
The Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority is lighting the Peace Bridge in Bills colors ahead of Sunday’s divisional round game with the Kansas City Chiefs.
In addition, whenever the Bills score a touchdown, there will be a brief light show on the bridge.
Single digit cold is greeting us this morning.
Expect bitter cold today and tonight with light and variable winds.
The low could drop below zero.
