Stories from local residents and those afar that still keeps their roots close to their heart, about what they love about Queens County and special days out in Queens County, they want to share with everyone.

Welcome to another new feature of Queens County Community

I love to hear stories about what people find interesting to do in Queens County. People live here because they love Queens County. There is so much going on and it is, what you make of it. Once I started to publish events on the Queens County Community Calendar, I saw Queens County as I had never seen it before. Once I started publishing pictures in the Out & about album, I wanted to see more. I have always loved geography and love to know where I am in relation to everything around me. I would love to get out and about more often, as I am sure that most of you would as well. We all have busy lives though and commitments, but we fit in what we can. This page is dedicated to sharing all those experiences with everyone. If you are out and about in Queens and you want to share, let us know about it. If you have a camera or a video cam, what a great way to share your experiences with everyone else. If we cannot be there, reading about it is the next best thing and maybe it will end up on your to do list. So please share your experiences, a walk on the beach, a drive in the country, visiting your favorite spot, having lunch with friends, a special find in Queens, a potluck supper, a sporting event. Let's let everyone know what we love about Queens.

If you would like to add your experience, email queenscommunitycalendar@gmail.com

Queens Early Childhood Development 4th Annual Chowder Challenge

Good old fashioned, down home fun with homemade seafood chowder. Wow it was good too. There were 5 chowders to taste and they were all very different. There were submissions from RBC, Mayme Adams, Art MacLeod, Tony & Jessica Whynot, and Vicki Conrad.

Did you know that anyone can submit a chowder. They are always looking for groups or individuals to submit a contender. Do you or others think that you make the best seafood chowder in the world, then watch this time next year and let's put it to the test.


There were so many volunteers that came out to help and they all made this a very successful fundraiser. The QECDA is funded by the Community Support Group, but as you know there is never enough to go around and any shortfalls are made up through fundraising. The QECDA offers vital services to parents and children in Queens County. They work with you and your child on many different levels when you are dealing with your child's developmental issues. Watch out for the next well child clinic for a chance to gauge your childs development. Early intervention is always important for any child development issues.
There is one satisfied customer. And this is how you do it. Take your tray and your numbered cups and get each one filled with a different chowder, eat, decide and vote. It was very interesting for my first time. There were a lot of veterans there, no instruction necessary. Good luck next year QECDA. You'll see me at the head of the line, tray in hand.
