A Taste of Burnt Hills
Gives New Meaning to Delicious!
Our 7th annual "Taste of Burnt Hills" banquet
was held on Monday, October 15th, in the Burnt Hills-Ballston
Lake High School Cafeteria. It was a delicious success!
This beautiful
quilt, made by local artisan Peg Allocco, was raffled off to benefit
the Foundation. We are extremely grateful to Mrs. Allocco, who has
donated one of her beautiful quilts for our raffle since the very
first Taste of Burnt Hills.
The happy winner, pictured above, is a BH-BL parent
who bought her ticket at a Middle School Back to School night.
We would
also like to thank the following
area restaurants, each of which offered a special taste from their
menus:
Augie's
Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Food Service
Carney's
Marcella's
Sam's Chinese Restaurant & Buffet
Sonny's Pizzeria & Restaurant
Stewart's Stores
The Burnt Hills Cafe
The Factory
The
Good Times Lakeview Restaurant
The Millstone Speakeasy
The
Peking Wok
The Woodlin Club
Thanks, too, to our music makers of
the night, the BH-BL High School Strings ensemble, and The Burnt
Hills Community Melody Makers. They added appreciably to our
delightful evening.
The turn-out was great, and we thank you for your support of
the foundation's mission -- to enhance education in our own BH-BL community.
