MAHONING VALLEY
Church congregations provide clues to ethnic settlement BY REBECCA ROGERS SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY
◆ Editor’s note: With the planned closing of many area Catholic parishes and the general loss of population as reflected by the 2010 Census, Metro Monthly thought it was important to remember where ethnic groups had settled in the Youngstown area. The article was originally publlished in The Metro Monthly during Youngstown’s bicentennial in 1996 and subsequently appeared in the book, “Remembering Youngstown: Tales from the Mahoning Valley,” which The History Press published in 2009.
A
lmost all early settlers of the Mahoning Valley came west from Pennsylvania, New York and New England. Early settlers worked in agriculture, but by the mid-to-late-nineteenth century a growing industrial economy soon attracted immigrants from Northern, Central and Eastern Europe. Recent research has determined that many of the settlers of the pioneer period and farm-dependent economy of northeastern Ohio did not have enough money to buy land or enough training to be journeymen or masters of a trade. Like subsequent urban European and African-American immigrants, early settlers often left little personal history or record of their lives here. Instead, the strongest legacy of each immigrant group had been the church congregations that were often located at the center of the community or ethnic neighborhood. As the village economy of Youngstown began to grow rapidly following a national depression in the late 1830s, the climate for the assimilation of an immigrant population improved. New settlers came to the Mahoning Valley when the crosscut Pennsylvania Canal, which connected New Castle, Pennsylvania to Akron, Ohio, was started. The canal provided opportunity for laborers, especially stonemasons, and workers who drove horse teams [draymen]. The forecast of prosperity encouraged many merchants, financiers and goods manufacturers, who saw the opportunity of a reliable transportation system, making Youngstown a boomtown. Shortly after the opening of the canal in 1840, coal was discovered near the Brier Hill farm of David Tod. The nascent industry attracted coal miners to the Mahoning Valley and Youngstown. Canal construction and mining attracted rural and European immigrants, with the largest number of foreign-born workers being Welsh and Irish. Both ethnic groups settled near Brier Hill. The presence of these immigrant groups is evident in the churches they established, many dating from the 1840s.

St. Columba’s Catholic Church was established around 1840. The parish grew from earlier missions that met east of Brier Hill and on Youngstown’s East Side. In the village of Brier Hill, a Welsh Congregational Church was formed around 1840 and a Welsh Presbyterian Church was established soon after. East of Brier Hill and south of the main road to Warren, Ohio, a worker neighborhood known as the Caldwell District grew in the flood plain of the Mahoning River. This area, like Brier Hill, had a mix of ever-changing immigrant residents. The Caldwell District provided labor for the Eagle, Cartwright and McCurdy furnaces. In Youngstown, the south side of the Mahoning River attracted immigrants somewhat later – in the 1850s and 1860s – following the construction of the Phoenix and Falcon blast furnaces on the north bank. Irish immigrants settled along Poland Avenue and Flint Hill Street [South Avenue] across the Presque Isle [South Avenue] Bridge. The area quickly became so predominantly Irish-American that it was locally known as “Kilkenny.” St. Columba’s founded a mission and a parochial school there on Franklin Avenue. Farther west – from the bluff on the south bank of the Mahoning River to Mill Creek – along Mahoning Avenue, German immigrants established a neighborhood. They organized Lutheran meetings above the south river bank, near presentday Warren Avenue, in the mid-1850s. In 1859, German Lutherans organized Martin Luther Church and built a house of worship on East Wood and Champion streets in 1862. The Mannerchor [a Ger-
man men’s choir] was established in the early 1860s and hosted picnics and songfests near the bluff. Germans settling in Brier Hill established St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on Rayen Avenue in 1870 and St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church was founded in 1881. It’s interesting to note that Brier Hill and the neighborhood west of lower Belmont Avenue had many streets with German names, some of which were renamed during World War I. German Jews began coming to Youngstown in the 1830s and settled mostly on the east side of Brier Hill in an area called “West Youngstown,” near the

Westlake Crossing. After first meeting in private homes, immigrant Jews organized the Rodof Sholom congregation in 1867 and built a temple at Lincoln and Fifth avenues in 1886. African-Americans, some of them craftsmen [most notably masons], settled on the South Side, establishing a Baptist church on Mahoning Avenue and Oak Hill Avenue Church [AME] on Oak Hill Avenue. By 1870, Youngstown was accepting immigrants from rural areas and Europe. The Welsh continued to come to the small hamlets clustered around the coalmines that opened during the boom days of the early 1870s. The Scots, mostly coal miners, settled in Lansingville and left the legacy of Caledonia and Campbell streets. In Brier Hill, Catholics, mostly of Irish descent, founded St. Ann’s Catholic Church. In the 1870s and 1880s, Irish immigrants settled near a coal mine on the South Side of Youngstown on presentday Ridge Avenue [called The Blocks]. On the East Side, the Irish established Immaculate Conception Church and School in 1881. The Irish lived on the east bank of Crab Creek, just north of Oak Street [called Bottle Hill], near a rolling mill and Daniel Shehy’s farm on Shehy Street and Wilson Avenue [known as Vinegar Hill]. The neighborhood was adjacent to the Himrod Furnace. IrishAmericans at Haselton, near the canal and the Andrews and Hitchcock blast furnaces and rolling mill, founded Sacred Heart Catholic Church in 1888. Late in the 1870s and during the 1880s, immigrants who did not speak English as their primary language came to Youngstown to supply the everexpanding need for workers. Italians, Hungarians, Scandinavians and Slovaks followed the Irish, Welsh and Germans into the Caldwell District, taking over the older housing stock and seeking out those who spoke the same language. Italians settled south of the river near Mahoning Avenue among the Germans. The Scandinavians – mostly Swedes – settled near Kilkenny and Haselton. A Swedish mission was founded on Poland Avenue in Kilkenny in 1886 and another Swedish church was founded in Brier Hill in 1890. Bethel Lutheran, a Swedish congregation founded in 1881, constructed a church in 1890 on Wilson Avenue in Haselton. Most early Slovak immigrants lived in a worker neighborhood at the east end of Federal Street, near Basin Street SEE CHURCHES, PAGE 11

at the junction of Crab Creek and the Mahoning River. Slovaks founded St. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church on Wood Street in 1896. The church became parent to many Eastern European churches in the Mahoning Valley. As the 1890s began, Youngstown’s ethnic neighborhoods grew dense and ready to burst into new areas within walking distance of the new industries. As earlier immigrants to Youngstown became more prosperous, the worker neighborhoods began to expand away from the flood plain, up the nearest creek or riverbank. The working class neighborhood near Federal and Basin streets spread north along Crab Creek, past Rayen Avenue and into the small valley that became known as Smoky Hollow. Like Brier Hill and the Caldwell District, Smoky Hollow was populated by residents of many different ethnic origins. Plats of new streets began in the 1870s near Rayen Avenue. Ethnic groups established their churches along Rayen or Wood Street. In the 1890s, Haselton expanded up the north river bank, moving west toward Youngstown. At the same time, Lansingville expanded east and west along the south riverbank. The Ohio Works, Youngstown’s first steel producing mill, was planned in the early 1890s on the west side of the Mahoning River flood plain. Across the Mahoning from Brier Hill and the Caldwell District, the West Side attracted new immigrants who lived at Brier Hill, the Caldwell District and Mahoning Avenue. New West Side ethnic neighborhoods grew along Salt Springs Road and Waverley Street. Often the newest European immigrants working at the Ohio Works were from the south and east of Europe: Slovaks, Carpatho-Russians, Ukrainians, Croatians and Serbs. Settling in the oldest worker neighborhoods, they saved to build churches precious to their ethnic heritage. Carpatho-Russiams, who adhered to the Byzantine Rite, founded Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Florence at Salt Springs Road in 1900. It was the sponsoring church for Byzantine Rite congregations in the Mahoning Valley, including St. Nicholas in Haselton [1912]. Ukrainians were involved in the organization of Holy Trinity Greek Catholic Church [1909] on West Rayen and Croatians who were Roman Catholic organized Sts. Peter and Paul on the north side of the river in 1910. Serbians who were Orthodox organized Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church on the West Side, buying land for a building in 1929. Poles, Romanians, Transylvanians, Lithuanians, Lebanese and Russians joined them in the neighborhood. Austrian Poles settled in Kilkenny

tians, who mostly lived near the east end of Federal Street, founded St. Maron Church at the beginning of the century. Russians were a large enough ethnic group to start Nativity of Christ Russian Orthodox Church on West Arlington in 1915. Russian and Polish Jews established an Orthodox temple, Children of Israel, near Smoky Hollow on Summit Avenue. The greatest European ethnic growth came in the decade from 1900-1910. Many of these people settled in the oldest ethnic areas of the city: Brier Hill east to Belmont Avenue, the Caldwell District, along Mahoning Avenue, lower South Avenue and Poland Avenue and Haselton. Others sought out the newer areas adjacent to the newest blast furnaces, rolling mills and steel plants. The greatest mill construction occurred near Haselton and Lansingville at the Youngstown Sheet and Tube ELECTRONIC IMAGE COURTESY OF MARK C.PEYKO Trinity United Methodist on Front Street in downtown and Republic sites, near Market Street and the Mahoning River Youngstown at the Republic site, and along the Mahoning River from south along South Avenue, founding St. Stanislaus.

In 1904, Hungarian Protestants organized and built a stylish limestone building, the Magyar Evangelical Reformed Church, under the sponsorship of First Presbyterian Church. It was the first solely ethnic Hungarian congregation. On the lower East Side, St. Stephen of Hungary was organized to serve Hungarians from neighborhoods near East Federal Street and lower Himrod Avenue. Greeks, who had dispersed throughout the city, organized a church in Brier Hill, and then built St. John Greek Orthodox on Woodland Avenue in 1904. Scandinavians moved from Haselton and Kilkenny, establishing an ethnic neighborhood that stretched from Woodland Avenue south and east to Southside Park. Near Woodland Avenue were three Lutheran churches as Bethel Lutheran moved from Haselton to Ridge Avenue. Slovaks – Youngstown’s largest European ethnic group – settled at Lansingville, the West Side and Haselton. They established three Catholic churches, St. Matthias [1913], Holy Name [1917], and St. Elizabeth [1917, and at least two protestant churches, one on the West Side and the other in Lansingville. Although World War I slowed growth, it did not abate the need for workers. [Around this time, anti-German sentiment resulted in the changing of German-named streets in the city.] The virtual closing of foreign immigration after the war did not slow the demand for people to work in Youngstown’s industries. The greatest group of immigrants coming to the city in those decades was made up of African-Americans moving north from southern Ohio and the American South. Once again, the oldest housing accepted the newest immigrants. Youngstown’s African-American population rose 250 percent between 1910 and 1920, with most of it coming in the last two years of the decade. African-Americans settled on the South Side, on the East Side and Smoky Hollow, but the largest neighborhood was near an African-American commercial area on West Federal Street, near North Avenue and Covington Street. By 1930, Youngstown’s population was 54 percent of foreign birth or extraction. However, this date also marks the end of dramatic population growth. In 1930, one in 10 workers in Youngstown was out of work and the rosters of unemployed grew dramatically in the following two years. Between 1930 and 1940, Youngstown’s population did not increase. The city’s greatest population, 170,000, was recorded in the 1930 Census.

but I pretty much like anything – except quinoa (can’t seem to spice it up enough) and Brussels sprouts. Any professional training or a significant apprenticeship? “Yes, the school of
Mama Neathel. Fully accredited!” What are your favorite types of foods and what do you enjoy most about preparing and serving food? “Again, I like
everything – soul food, American, Greek, Italian. I cook Italian the most, because the dishes are easiest for me to prepare. The most rewarding part of cooking is someone asking me for the recipe.
Who do you most admire in the profession of food preparation? “My grand-
mother, my Aunt Nella (my grandmother’s sister), and my mother-in-law, Birdie Shaw. None went to culinary school, but I would put any of their meals up against any professionally trained chef. Tell us a little about your hobbies, interests, community activities and groups in which you belong. They do not have to be food-related. “My hobbies seriously do
include finding and cooking new recipes for my family. I am also very active in the SEE HOMEPLATE, PAGE 14
y interest in food goes back to when I was a child, and I used to watch cooking shows on PBS with my sister on Saturday afternoons. We’d watch Julia Child and Nathalie Dupree each week, two of my favorites. I can remember back even farther, when we’d watch this very obscure program on canning, with a lady who wore cat glasses and frequently smacked her lips. Something about cooking shows and how they explained everything step-by-step always fascinated me. Fortunately, my parents and grandparents were great cooks – and my mom taught me and my sister how to cook at a very early age. My dad was an electronics nut, and was always getting the latest video and audio equipment as I was growing up. I followed in my dad’s footsteps, and also embraced electronics – and by the time I was in high school at John F. Kennedy in Warren, I was frequently making videos for class projects with my friends. This trend continued all the way through college at YSU, constantly pushing the equipment in the Cushwa Hall video lab and studio to its limits. When I began working with the Metro Monthly, it was only natural for me to suggest to the publisher that we should be making business profile videos. This eventually morphed into making a television program. Season one of “Homeplate” was definitely a learning experience – producing nearly 40 original episodes, and when it wrapped up, I was kind of relieved – having a bit of time to relax, and learn new video editing techniques. But I couldn’t stay away from it for long, and as we restructured the program and began working with our new hosts, the process became much more enjoyable. The new editing skills I had learned during the hiatus made producing season two much more efficient and fast. The group of people we are working with is amazing. I have known Stephanie Shaw since our days in college together – in fact, she and I worked together back then making video projects for several of our classes. I knew Stephanie would be a natural on television even then, and when we began planning season two, I was certain that she would have to be a host. As far as my favorite foods, I love my mom’s spaghetti and meatballs – it’s a recipe I have grown up with and have almost learned how to replicate. I have recently been introduced to Korean food, and absolutely love all of the side dishes given with the entrees. I am also a big fan of kitchen appliances – I wouldn’t be able to function without my Kitchen Aid mixer and Cuisinart food processor. I enjoy cooking and experimenting with new foods, and I have recently begun cooking with vegetarian staples tofu and tempeh. I am proud of the hard work from everyone involved with season two of “Homeplate.”The diversity of the cast, and the inclusion of more than food makes for a very interesting and watchable program.

Peyko. “John connects so well with the reader, why not expand his reach to TV?”
JOAN YANCHICK, PHOTOS OF “HOMEPLATE” HOSTS “I have an impassioned interest in recording people and their lives, environments and architecture. This is why I became a photographer. The power of a camera to essentially stop time is exciting,” says photographer Joan Yanchick. My favorite cook? My mom! She can mix our Italian-Russian heritage into the tastiest of meals. Ask any of my three brothers or three sisters. I once sent a videotape to my sister in California of a pot of sauce and meatballs simmering on the stove, chicken Française baking in the oven, and the best endive salad you could imagine – all made by my mama! The end of the video showed my mother sitting on the steps in the garage and the music of Connie Francis singing “Mama.” I said, “Look what you’re missing!” My sister cried all day. My mother learned to cook all the Russian dishes from my dad’s grandmother. She modified her homemade bread and there is nothing that can compare to it. And my dad’s Russian salad! He said it ‘will put hair on your chest!’ and that scared the heck out of us four girls. We still pull up at my mom and dad’s table anticipating a real treat. Although the kids range from 45 to 62 years old, we still can’t wait to savor the taste and meld into the aroma at mom and dad’s house!”

Vernon’s Café makes most of Fat Tuesday M arch came roaring in with a fine host of wine events to please every aficionado’s style. Springfield Grille, Vernon’s Café, and Café Cimmento provided great wine destinations. Vernon’s Café owner Vernon Cesta and sommelier Dennis Huston’s “Fat Tuesday” wine event is one of the Valley’s finest annual events. Among the offerings were trays of smoked salmon, panko-crusted scallops, calamari, smelts, Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta, oysters Rockefeller (and in the half shell), crawfish Imperial, blackened grouper and tilapia, carved sirloin, homemade kielbasa, sausage-stuffed peppadew peppers, assorted pizzas, antipasto trays, and desserts. Two unoaked Chardonnays really stood out from the pack. The 2009 Mer Soleil Silver Chardonnay with its mineral-driven nose and citrus flavors was just fabulous with the panko-crusted scallops. New to our area was the Simply Naked 2007 Chardonnay from California. Fruit driven with a crisp tangy finish, it was just the answer for the excellent smoked salmon. Huston must have been reading my thoughts when he chose the 2008 Taft Street Winery Gewurztraminer from Mendocino County, Calif. This is a perennial favorite of mine, and it was just the answer for the blackened tilapia. I gathered a plate of sausage-stuffed peppadews with a side of thinly sliced sirloin to accompany the red wines. I started with a glass of 2008 Three Valley Zinfandel from Ridge Vineyards. This is Sonoma Zin at its best. Briary red fruit and plum flavors give way to a long finish tinged with pepper and spice. My next pick was the 2008 Double Decker Red. Equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, and Barbera produce a fresh-tasting red that will have you coming back for more. The Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta was delicious with this medium-bodied red. If you’re looking for a great Meritage-style blend, give Wente’s “The Spur” a try. Bold red fruit and plum flavors followed by a finish tinged with spice and smoke were a fine partner for the rich blackened grouper. I’ve regularly attended Vernon’s Fat Tuesday’s wine event, and it’s always a fun-filled affair. Thanks to the Vernon’s staff for another great year. For a change of pace, Springfield Grille hosted a dinner tasting featuring artisan beers. Our first course was homemade chive pretzels with Porter ale-Brie fondue. Sierra Nevada’s Pale Ale was poured for
professionalism in dealing with a temporary loss of electricity during the event, and providing a fantastic evening nevertheless. On March 10, Station Square
restaurant hosted another Wine and Dine Ohio event fea-
turing the fantastic Treasure Hunter wines of California paired to Chef Ottavio Musumeci’s great food. Our first wine was the 2009 Counsel of Trent Chardonnay from
Napa Valley. Lightly oaked with creamy citrus flavors, it finishes supple and clean. Chef Ottavio’s Chilean sea bass in pink sauce proved to be a perfect match. The next wine poured was Treasure Hunter’s 2008 Russian River Pinot Noir. Stone fruit and wild strawberry flavors made this medium-bodied red a favorite for the diners ordering the jumbo sea scallops. The 2007 Dead Lights Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley was next in line for sampling. This classically styled Dry Creek Zin provided oodles of briary plum and red fruit flavors with a long, tantalizing finish. Our next red hailed from Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll district. Treasure Hunter’s Oak Knoll Cabernet is a perfect expression of what Napa Cabernet is all about. Full-bodied with lush dark fruit flavors, it sports a finish a toasty oak elegance. It was a fine partner for the filet diavolo topped with Portobello mushrooms. Our final wine was new to Treasure Hunter’s stable of fine reds. The 2008 Jenny’s Teacup red blend is mostly Syrah and performs like a fine Rhone Cote Rotie. Plush defined dark fruit flavors and a spicy pepper-tinged finish worked amazingly well with the grilled bonein ribeye. Treasure Hunter wines offer

Our delicious second course of redskin potatoes tossed with shallots, red onion and crispy leeks was paired to Sierra Nevada’s Torpedo IPA. Light amber with a pronounced hop-tinged finish, it was a crowd favorite. Crab cakes with a beurre blanc (clarified butter) sauce was our next entrée. It was served with a glass of Pure Brewed Samuel Smith Lager. Bright gold with a snappy crisp finish, it was just great with the tasty crab cakes. Our fourth course of smoked beef brisket and sweet potato hash was paired to Great Lakes Brewery’s Dopplerock. This double malted deeply colored brew was delicious with a fork-tender beef brisket. Our dessert course was a raspberrytinged root beer float with homemade caramel ice cream. Samuel Smith’s Organic Raspberry beer was a natural choice for this great finishing course.

great value and were fantastic partners for Station Square’s delicious food offerings. Thanks to the Station Square staff for providing such an enjoyable evening. Wine and Dine Ohio’s next stop was downtown Youngstown’s Café Cimmento. My partner Jim Howe and I recommended five outstanding Italian wines to accompany a medley of signature Italian dishes that owner George Mager specially selected. Our first wine was a 2007 Veronese Pinot Bianco from Vignalta. Buttery smooth citrus flavors and a crisp finish worked very well with the orecchietta pasta, sausage, beans and greens dish. Our next white wine had Tuscan origins. The 2009 Virginio IGT from Castello Sonnino is a tasty blend of Chardonnay (90 percent) and native Trebbiano (10 percent). This soft-textured was scrumptious with the linguine and white clam sauce. Light in style, it finishes crisp with a hint of almonds on the nose. Our first red was the 2006 Vignalta Rosso del Veneto IGT. A trendy blend of 90 percent Merlot and 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, it delivers fresh berry flavors and finishes bright and clean. The pan-seared stuffed pork loin was a crowd favorite for this easydrinking Veronese red. The 2006 Zorzettig Schioppettino from Friuli was recommended for Cimmento’s bacon-wrapped lamb lollipops. The Schioppettino grape is native to the Friuli region of northern Italy, producing a darkly colored bold red with a structured finish that demands rich, spicy food. This wine proved to be a classic match-up for the lamb lollipops. Northern Italy’s Piedmont region is the birthplace of the next wine, the 2008 Rocche Costamagna Annunziata Barbera d’Alba
was simply fantastic. Bold yet supple red fruit flavors give way to a long textured finish that is a joy to experience. The penne alla vodka drenched in tomato cream sauce with pancetta was a natural choice for this wine. The Cimmento waitstaff was simply great, and our group can’t wait to come back. This month’s store tastings featured a number of nice, affordable wines that will come in handy for summer events. Michael Charles Premier Wines on Elm Road was pouring the 2008 Cameron Hughes Lot 145 Chardonnay ($14.99) from Santa Barbara for their Second Saturday taste, and I was impressed by its rich opulent taste and creamy balanced finish. Stock up on this one early, as demand will make it vanish quickly. Washington State’s 2008 Waterbrook Melange Noir ($14.99) was my red pick of this taste, with an intriguing blend of Merlot (33 percent), Cabernet Sauvignon (20 percent), Syrah (18 percent), Malbec (11 percent), Sangiovese (7 percent), and 11 percent “other stuff,” according to the bottle. It delivers ripe berry flavors and a restrained Bordeaux-like finish that will surely impress you. My next tasting took me to Wine Styles of Howland. If you’re looking for a great white wine for summertime cookouts and you’re tired of cookie-cutter Chardonnays, give
RESTAURANTS the 2007 Tangent Ecclestone white blend a shot at $13.99. This is a delightful central coast cuvee (blend) of Pinot Gris, Viognier, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat and Albarino. It offers flowery citrus and honey flavors followed by a crisp, tangy finish. Melon and fresh fruit would a nice partner for this summer-style white. My red pick was the 2005 Lava Cap Petite Sirah from their famous Granite Hills vineyard. Bold plum and berry flavors tinged with mocha make this a nice choice for foods hot off the grill. Vintage Estate Wine and Beer’s Third Saturday taste had a couple of tasty organic wines from Green Truck Winery. The Green Truck 2008 Sauvignon Blanc ($10.99) from Mendocino County Vineyards is a real bargain. Citrusy aromas and bright grapefruit flavors make this certified organic white wine a fine choice for upcoming summer cookouts. Green Truck’s 2009 Petite Sirah ($10.99) from Mendocino fruit was my red pick. Dark cherry and plum flavors give way to a classic pepper and spice finish that should pair nicely with grilled burgers or barbecued chicken. Charlie’s Premier Wines in Howland delivered a number of outstanding wines at their weekly Saturday wine taste. Three cool-climate California wines really stood out at these tastings. Kynsi Winery’s 2007 Chardonnay ($29.99) from the Edna Valley Ranch Vineyard was just amazing. With just 13.5 percent alcohol, it simply oozes tropical fruit flavors, yet finishes refreshingly crisp and clean. Kynsi Vineyards’ 2006 Pinot Noir ($44.99) from the Santa Maria Valley is another stunning cool-climate red that I can heartily recommend. The Bien Nacido Vineyard has a long tradition of producing fine Burgundian-style Pinot Noirs, and this wine is a fine example. Bacon fat and strawberry-tinged fruit flavors give way to a lush spicy finish that will have you wishing you bought another bottle. My last pick was the 2007 Kenneth Volk Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir Cuvee
($34.99). Cool climate strawberry, cherry and bramble berry fruit flavors lead to a creamy finish tinged with Asian spice and saddle leather. Upcoming events include 1-4 p.m. Saturday, April 9, American Cancer Society and Luva Bella will have a tasting to benefit Relay for Life of Poland. Tickets are available at Hannah’s Closet, 47 W.
