Pieces of the Abingtons
ABINGTON JOURNAL PHOTO/NATALIE MENNICUCCI
How well do you know the streets where you live? The Abington Journal puts your powers of observation to the test with our new contest, “Pieces of the Abingtons.” Every other week within the paper, we’ll feature a photograph of a landmark, architectural structure or other local item in public view in the Abingtons. We’ll ask you to submit a guess as to where the photo was taken and what is featured in the photo. Then we’ll enter each correct answer in a drawing to win a $10 gift certificate from Lynn’s Hallmark in Clarks Summit. We’ll notify you if you win, and we’ll print the winning contestant and answer in an upcoming issue of The Abington Journal with the next contest photo.

vendor. But this show actually has a soft spot in my heart, because my mother- in- law, Pat Atkins, was the first chairperson and I was her decorating chair 20 years ago.” “Uniquely different” is how Michael J. Buranich described his birdhouses that are constructed from recycled, reclaimed and repurposed materials. Buranich, who is also a newcomer to the show, crafts functional habitats for feathered friends, and each birdhouse is uniquely different from the next. “They suit the needs of many different birds and vary in height, shape and size,” according to Buranich, whose business is “The Flippin’ Bird.” Buranich said, “It started as a hobby. I love to create different visual pieces for my yard and found I could create something uniquely different with a purpose…I love to work with my hands to create one of a kind pieces of art using wood, metal and a creative eye.” His birdhouses are priced from $30 to $465, depending upon height and detailed work.

Original Organizing by Tara and The Flippin’ Bird are two of approximately 30 vendors who will participate in the show. The House, Garden and Gift Show will also sponsor a raffle for a gift basket from a local business with items donated by the show’s vendors. Maria Donahue is the show chair. Sunita Aurora/ERA One Source Realty is the show sponsor. When lunch time rolls around, Mari Walker, Duffy’s Coffee House owner, will have fare available for sale at a luncheon in the North Wing. The luncheon will be served 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. Walker said, “I met with the ladies from the Comm and we decided on the menu together. They had been in, some regularly and had their favorites. We decided on the quiche, for example, because it is somewhat portable, but very different. I gave them options for the additions and they picked fire roasted tomato, bacon and provolone and a vegetarian option as well. The tomato basil soup is simple but has an elegant twist and the vegetarian Greek wrap is an option for vegetarians, but I know some
carnivores who love it. I use Boars’ Head meats and cheeses and all fresh produce, organic wherever possible. I am very honored to be working with them this year, as I know this is a great event for our community.” The Waverly Community House is located at 1115
North Abington Road, Waverly. Show tickets are $6 at the door or $5.50 with a show card or ad. For more information and to download a show card, visit waverlycomm.org or call 586.8191. Sunita Aurora/ERA One Source Realty is the show’s sponsor. ABINGTON JOURNAL/JOAN MEAD-MATSUI
