Greek Bazaar

[lancastermike]

The Annunciation Hellenic Orthodox Church is holding their 49the annual Greek Bazaar this weekend. A big annual event for the Lancaster community, and one that I never miss. Not as big as deal as some of the Philadelphia Greek church festivals. No liquor for one. Although, many year ago when I went to the bazaar with some friends of mine who were members of the church and there was plenty of ouzo to be had if one knew were to look.

The Greek community in Lancaster has a history of running food business. Many pizzas’s sold in town are made by Greek owned business. The community has diversified and many outstanding professionals have arisen from the families that ran diners and other places. They remain a very family oriented community and I have been proud to know many members of this church through the years.

The retired pastor of the church, Rev. Veroins, has been one of the leaders in the annual CROP walk to raise funds for those in need of food assistance in our town. He is still very active with this project.

The church is at 64 Hershey Ave on the west end of Lancaster and the hours are 11AM to 7:30PM on Saturday and 11AM to 6PM on Sunday. The food just flies s out the door so plan to arrive early if possible.

It is a wonderful chance to support a great community and enjoy some good food as well.
