June 7 – Celebrate your roots at a church’s or social club’s ethnic festival.

In the summer, many ethnic churches, such as Greek churches and other social club’s have ethnic festivals in the summer. My daughter’s former college roommate’s family organizes the Greek Festival in a town near where I live. It’s open to anyone, not just those with Greek roots. 

When I was growing up, I remember the county fair had all the ethnic groups in one building, serving their traditional foods. It was the best part of going to the fair for me. I enjoyed learning about other cultures and heritages.  

Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
