52nd annual Greek Fest kicks off in Vestal
VESTAL, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The weekend after Memorial Day means it's time for residents of Greater Binghamton to be Greek for a Day, or perhaps four days. The Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation in Vestal is holding its 52nd annual Greek Festival today through Sunday. This afternoon, guests were enjoying live music from singer John Koutsaris, keyboardist Theodore Gritziotis and bouzouki player George Gritziotis. As usual, lots of Greek delicacies were coming off the grill and out of the church kitchen, including gyro, souvlaki, mousaka, pastichio and spanakopita. There's a baked good section with baklava, diples, finikia and more. And don't forget the honey puffs and baklava sundaes. Drinks include Greek beer and wine, including a retsina, a traditional Greek wine that includes pine resin. Festival Chairman Jimmy Anastos, whose father Steve oversaw the event for decades, says he grew up working at the Greek Fest. Today, his own children, nephews and cousins are part of the more than 50 volunteers that make the fundraiser for the church possible. 'What can Greeks do better? Eat, drink, dessert and music. That's what we have in our culture, that's what we live by, that's how we grew up around the dinner table with Greek music and food. And that's what we have to offer and what we want to give all the Vestal community and the surrounding communities around the Triple Cities,' Anastos said. In addition to the music, there will be Hellenic dancers tomorrow at 5:30 and 7:30, Saturday at 1:30, 4 and 6:30 and Sunday at 1:30. The traditional leg of lamb dinner is available Sunday only. The hours are noon to 8 today through Saturday and noon to 4 on Sunday. There will be a shuttle bus available from the NYSEG lot on Old Vestal Road Friday from 6 to 9 and Saturday from 2 to 9.

Opa! Greek Festival to add sales after power outage
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — If you didn't get your fill of baklava because of the power outage on the last day of Greek Festival, don't despair. Festival organizers plan to have three days of specialty food sales at Holy Trinity Cathedral to try to recoup the revenue that was lost when the festival ended three hours early on Sunday, May 25. Thousands of Entergy customers in Greater New Orleans without power Because the outage was not announced in advance, the first sign that something was wrong came when cash registers at the entrance gates stopped working around 5 p.m. At the same time, the main food hall inside the cathedral went dark as servers hurried to fill to-go plates of moussaka and dolmades, and the musicians noticed their amplifiers conked out on stage. Suddenly, ice and cold drinks were in short supply on one of the hottest afternoons of May. New T-shirt pokes fun at inmate escape in New Orleans Festival organizer Alexandra Megilligan told WGNO that an estimated 2,500 people either left the festival when the power went out or did not come in. Megilligan also said the outage resulted in an estimated 60% loss of expected sales during that three-hour period To try to recoup some of the lost revenue, the festival will hold three days of food sales this week at the Cathedral. Anyone who'd like to savor the taste of Greece just a little longer will be able to buy some of the pastries and other food items, like imported olives, cheeses and wine, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. 'We may extend the sale a little bit longer in the afternoon, ' said Megilligan, 'If we still have people trickling in.'
