Good mornings folks,

     All of us at Bernunzio‘s wish you a happy and safe Thanksgiving. It is a time to express gratitude with friends and family. It is a time for inclusiveness and sharing. This is a true American holiday filled with fun, food, frolic and occasional disagreements. This year we will be having an extra special holiday as my friends whom I met on my Sicilian "vacation" are arriving and staying with us for the week. They have been in New York City for the past four days and have connected with our good friend, Gavin Rice, who now resides there. Gavin has not only showed them around New York, but also guided them to Penn Yan for their first night here. These four young Sicilian kids have never been outside of Europe and America has always been a dream. I am anxious to know their thoughts and feelings about our country and to show them a part of America that most travelers pass by. It will be an exciting Thanksgiving and we expect about 30 people around the table with a couple of turkeys. As always, if someone is alone and needs some company, there is always room, just send me a message. 

     My young friends will be in the store on Friday afternoon for a little “meet and greet”. I’ll be serving some refreshments from Leo’s Bakery and Deli of East Rochester. There is sure to be some jamming as they try out the instruments. Stop by and say, ciao buon pomeriggio! 

 With peace,

John Bernunzio
