At the Greece Museum grounds, 595 Long Pond Rd. featuring five local garden clubs.  Member’s own hostas, dahlias, lilies and other perennials, as well as annuals and garden related items will be available for sale, rain or shine, on the grounds of the Greece Historical Museum.  In event of severe weather, the sale will be held on Sunday, May 20^th. We will have coffee & donuts available for purchase and our museum gift shop will be open.

The colorful parade put on by the Town of Greece is held on Memorial Day and the best “seat in the house” is in front of your Greece Museum. Bring your chairs, park your cars in our lot, and if the weather is nice, you can enjoy a picnic lunch near the gardens out back. This is a new idea – it’s free and fun. Bring friends, too. Call Lorraine Beane for more details. 225-4041

STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS NEEDED !

Mark your calendars for our annual strawberry & dessert tasting festival on Monday, June 18th. This festival, our main fundraiser for the year, takes the work of many volunteers for traffic control, ticket sales, set-up & take-down, entertainment, food purchasing, and dozens of other small jobs. Last year nearly 500 of our guests enjoyed, what we considered, the Town’s best neighborhood festival. If you are willing to help us with this important fundraiser, please give us a call at 225-7221 or e-mail: greecehistoricalsociety@yahoo.com
