Fun filled family event- exhibit your talent, enter our people’s choice baking contest

Navasard is the ancient Armenian New Year, which was celebrated in antiquity for 30 days, from Aug. 11 to Sept. 9. It commemorated our Genesis story, where, according to legend, on Aug. 11, 2492 BC, Hayk Nahapet killed the Babylonian tyrant, Bel, thus establishing the Armenian nation.

In this event we will share breads, sweet breads and pastry made by our friends. We invite those who enjoy preparing these foods to sign up and enter the contest. Guests will vote for the best baked good. There would be one winner in each category. To register for the contest and for more info please call 617-733-7162.
