CORNING | More than 100 kids, parents
and local community leaders gathered Tuesday
at the Corning Area Youth Center’s 14th annual
Thanksgiving Day dinner.
“This type of events brings everyone
together,” said Carly Cushing, Youth Center
director. “It’s been great.”
Sal Trentanelli, Youth Center board member
and Corning’s police chief, said the annual
event continues to grow each year.
“This is the biggest crowd I’ve ever seen at
the Thanksgiving Day dinner,” Trentanelli
said. “It great for the kids, the families and
the community leaders to get a chance to enjoy
a Thanksgiving dinner together.”
Mayor Rich Negri was one of the many volunteers serving dinner.
“This is fantastic,” Negri said. “We do it
every year, and I love it. It’s one of my favorite
events.”
