Publisher’s Word “Foodfest”
When it comes to the Easter holiday, my family’s not very calorie-cautious. Not that I mind. When one grows up in a traditional Italian-American household, one comes to expect occasional bouts of heavy cooking and chowing. Like every Sunday … The fam was truly at their finest during last week’s long (and wonderfully warm) Easter weekend. The Caprino clan starts with a 2pm ham dinner on Good Friday. A “snack” if you will, complete with unimaginable portions of everything else under the sun, like stuffed artichokes, ham, veggies galore and wonderfully warm bread complete with dipping oil. All the extras are fine with me – ever since “Charlotte’s Web” came out, I haven’t been able to partake of any part of
Wilbur (that’s some pig, you know). And we shan’t forget Aunt Pina’s epic wastedi for dessert – it’s like homemade fried dough with a “pinch” of sugar - incredible. I forced myself to take a tiny bite … or two. Friday’s festival of food simply set the stage for the rest of weekend, which was constant and shamefully delicious, all the way to Sunday. And would you believe the ol’ Easter Bunny still manages to find me? (That’s some rabbit, you know). So, dear readers, get your lawn and gardening chores done early this weekend, because you have a lot of less arduous options to exercise. And keep your fingers crossed for beautiful spring weather! Until next week … Jeanine Zimmer

Summer Music Festival Kicking Off Summer the Right Way on June 29 - July 1
in Ellicottville! The Summer Music Festival promises to have you kicking off summer the right way with this weekend packed full of musical performances with everything from the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra to a performance by a National Recording artist.... all outdoors on the slopes of Holiday Valley. Again this year, with the addition of the Friday night concert, there will literally be something for everyone, Start off the Summer touring including families, the over-40 season with a signature event crowd and even younger, edgier
audiences. “With the slopes of Holiday Valley as the main outdoor stage, the acoustics are astounding, you simply bring your chairs and blankets, and when the orchestra strikes its Stars and Stripes Forever finale choreographed to a brilliant Firework display on Saturday, it’s spine-tingling.” Rounding out the weekend in the Village is an Art and Craft show from 10-5pm Saturday and Sunday on Jefferson Street, and the an annual pet parade at on Washington Street on Saturday.
