Corned Beef Dinner a Hit in Middleburgh

MIDDLEBURGH - The annual corned beef dinner at the Our Lady of the Valley church hall was a big hit Sunday afternoon.

The tables were full and the take-outs were plentiful for the traditional home-made corned beef dinner with cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and, of course, soda bread on Sunday. Middleburgh Cub Scouts helped with Knights of Columbus members Sunday afternoon.

Proceeds from the dinner went to benefit our athletes competing in the SPECIAL OLYMPICS of the CAPITAL DISTRICT. Sponsored collaboratively by Knights of Columbus Council 4475, Middleburgh Cub Scouts and the Our Lady of the Valley Cafe.
