In 2016 as a way of giving back to the community for 40 years of support and in celebration of Lorenzo Driving Competition’s Ruby Jubilee, members of the Lorenzo Driving Competition cleaned three overgrown historic horse troughs around Cazenovia and planted them with flowers. Most of the Cazenovia horse troughs were placed by members of the founding Ledyard family and are located along East Lake Road, No. 9 Road, and tucked into the back of the Lorenzo State Historic Site. If you’re local to Cazenovia take a drive around town and see if you can spot them! Pictured is LDC Board members Judy Sears and Weese Sullivan Moore working their magic. Check out these before and after shots!
