The Annual Strawberry Festival - Wednesday, June 18th 2025
The Annual Strawberry Festival is Now Behind Us – What a Wonderful Evening!
What a fantastic way to kick off the season of celebration and fellowship! On Wednesday, June 18th at 6:30 PM, we gathered at the Buffalo Yacht Club Abino Station for a memorable evening filled with community spirit.
It was a joyful opportunity to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones, all while enjoying delicious strawberry sundaes, cookies, and refreshments. The Silent Auction added to the excitement, drawing enthusiastic participation from our many bidders. Thanks to their generosity, every item found a home—helping to further support the Chapel’s mission.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who donated auction items and to the many dedicated volunteers who made the evening possible. Your time, energy, and kindness are truly appreciated.
Most importantly, your generosity enables us to continue our work through the Holloway Memorial Chapel, fostering a sense of community and tradition that enriches all our lives. We are deeply grateful for your ongoing support.
Thank you once again for being part of this special evening and for helping us launch another meaningful summer season.
Warm regards,
