With Fair Weather and Kefi, St. Nicholas Festival a Great Success in Flushing

FLUSHING ? Once a year the residents of Northeast Queens and their Greek and Philhellene friends all over New York have a definite address where they can find kefi: 196-10 Northern Boulevard. From October 10-14, the 42nd annual Greek Festival of the Church of St. Nicholas in Flushing was a slice of Greece and Cyprus in New York. The leaders and members of the parish have worked hard through three decades to make intelligent and imaginative use of the parish?s outdoor spaces and nooks and crannies ? including a venue for live Greek musing and dancing. The Michael and Despina Yorian Family Gymnasium was put to a valuable social use: parish children were engaged in three vigorous games of basketball while their parents volunteered on Saturday night. There was something at the festival for everyone of every age: games for guests young and old, inflatable rides for children, a flea markets filled with every kind of item imaginable, and of course, food and deserts made and served with tender loving care my parish volunteers.
