Littlest Dancer Charms

At St. Patrick’s Luncheon

The littlest dancer, Ava Salzman, 7, of South Hartwick, performing with the Iona Troupe, charmed the crowd at the St. Patrick’s Day luncheon that followed Sunday mass at Christ Episcopal Church in Cooperstown at noon today.  The full range of St. Patty’s cuisine was available, including two types of corned beef, one steeped in Fly Creek Cider Mill cider, according to chef Bill Waller.  Inset, Ava receives congratulations from her brother Henry, 7 months, who is in mom Amanda’s arms.  (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
