Dear Joyce,
Nice to see you at the Chemung Co. Historians' meeting last week.
Our Irish Festival was well attended and overall a success; all three
organizations involved made some money and had fun. The weather was
kind to us as well. It was cold, but the snow storm waited until
Sunday.
Could you please put the following in April's section of news?
We would most appreciate it.
Shalom, Suzanne M. Murphy

ERIN 4th ANNUAL IRISH FESTIVAL - 2006
Submitted by Suzanne M. Murphy, Erin Town Historian
The 4th Annual Erin Irish Festival held on March
18th, 2006 was a success! We had wonderful attendance at the Erin
Historical Museum, the Erin UMC, and the Erin Fire Hall. The church
sold out all of their baked goods along with sales of other items.. The
Erin Fire Auxiliary sold over a hundred dinners and were completely cleaned
out. Pat Wainwright, the Erin Historical Society's
Curator/Librarian, put together an interesting display called "Erin's
Churches and Religions" past and present. That, along with all the
other displays, were enjoyed by all who visited the museum. The sales
of cachets/covers and cards were hand canceled by the Erin Post Master,
Mrs. Linda Bennett; a good number were sold.
There was entertainment all over the place.
Jim Brick entertained with his accordion at the museum and fire hall; Roy
Matthews and Floyd White played there banjo and ukulele to the delight
of the crowd at the museum. They were accompanied by Josh Burrell
singing a few songs. At the church, Lynn Maki, Josh Burrell and Gary
Saukas played and sang hymns and songs of praise, while folks sat and rested
and enjoyed coffee and cookies. The Cub Scouts has a great display
at the church as well; they are sponsored by the Erin United Methodist
Church.
The Fire Hall was all "abuzz" when the Old Country
Buffet "Bee" arrived and delighted young and old alike with gift tickets
for children and adults. The bee made it to all 3 locations throughout
the day. The Celtic Dancers from the Let's Dance Studio performed
in the afternoon at the Fire Hall; they were excellent and thoroughly enjoyed
by the audience. All of this entertainment at our Irish Festival
is done free gratis; we do thank all of these folks and the folks who worked
so hard to make the day possible.
If you did not make it to Erin this year, please
start planning to attend the 5th Annual Irish Festival next year.
Next up in Erin, is the Old School Picnic to be
held on June 10th, 2006 at the Erin Town Hall. A dish to pass dinner
will be held; beverage will furnished; please bring your own table service.
We decided to go back to the Pot Luck Dinner; we hope to see you at the
Erin Town Hall. The program will be announced at a later date.
In the mean time, dig out those old photos and memories and bring them
along to share at the picnic. Don't forget, history is made everyday.
Be a part of it!
