COLONY — It’s difficult to know which will be the biggest draw; the homemade salsa competition or the pie-eating contest. Or maybe it will be the fish and chips for lunch. But then again, the ice cream social and the cakewalk are sure to tempt the palate.
Whatever your preference, Saturday’s Colony Day will be a culinary delight as well as loads of fun for the entire family.
