  • Back to Queens County Community

    • 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.

    This makes me feel all warm & fuzzy

    I recently drove to Summerville, my beach of choice on any stinking hot & humid day, and as usual looking around in Summerville centre near the Quarter Deck as it is such a of excitement. Well I noticed something which I thought was a yard sale and I always have to have a peek. As I drove closer, I realized it was not a yard sale and I was trying to read the sign. Oh for God sake Heather pull over. OK Then I thought,  "how wonderful is that. This is why I love living in Queens"





    Yes this is what I saw and could not read the sign, so look a little closer. Here you go, try this.

    It's so wonderful that people like this exist. I am glad they do in Queens County.

    The Annual Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper



    The Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper just might be one of the longest running traditions in Queens County, and planked salmon might just be one of my all time favorite meals. I may be dating myself and someone please, correct me if I am wrong, but I am sure I was attending these Planked Salmon Suppers as long as 30 years ago.

    When I heard a friend was going, I asked for a Queens County Community update. What could be more perfect than a first timers review of the Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper.

    Here is what he had to say,

    "This was our first planked salmon supper and it certainly lived up to expectation.  The weather was great and there was a huge turnout.  The firefighters did a great job of feeding us all in the searing heat and dressed up in their overalls!"
