Our annual March "COVERED DISH DINNER & SHOWnTELL" event was held
on March 13th 2007, at the Church of the Resurrection in Marmora. As usual, it was enjoyed by each and every
attendee. Many interesting artifacts made their way from attics and cellars, to be admired by all. We hope to
have the latest pictures available for publication on this site in the near future. Meanwhile, please enjoy browsing
the rest of our presentation.
Our 6th Annual AppleFest, was held at the
Gandy Farmstead [see MAP bottom center]

our restored/replicated farmhouse, and outbuildings; our gift shop and the entertainment, demos, refreshments,
contests, games, music, exhibits and displays, arts and crafts. Johnny Appleseed made an appearance. Enjoyed snacks,
refreshments, beverages, BBQ, and more.
Those award winning pies were out of this world.
