Campbell church preparing tasty Greek foods for next week's fest

CAMPBELL

Archangel Michael Greek Orthodox Church’s biannual Greek Fest doesn’t start until Sept. 5, but the church men and women are already at work, preparing food and entertainment.

As early as Tuesday, a group of women went to the church’s community center to begin baking paximathia and other Greek baked goods for the festival.

Irene Psaras, one of the bakers and a member of the church’s council, said dishes have already been cooked and are tucked away in freezers for the event.

Psaras said the baking and preparation is not expected to stop until the church hosts its Greek fest. The event kicks off from 3 to 9 p.m. Sept. 5 and continues from noon to 9 p.m. Sept. 6 and 7 at 401 12th St. in the church’s community center.

Admission and dancing are free, but guests can pay for authentic Greek food, crafts and religious items.
