The Mytilenian Brotherhood of Sydney & NSW has celebrated another successful Cherry Picking Weekend, with members enjoying two days of food, fellowship and festive tradition in Young and Canberra.
President Peter Psomas praised the experience, stating: “A delightful weekend of Cherry Picking in Young filled with lots of laughter, BBQ on the farm, singing & dancing shared with a great group of people.”
The trip began early Saturday, with the group departing Mytilenian House at 6am for Allambie Orchard, where participants spent the morning cherry picking before enjoying a relaxed BBQ lunch on the farm.
Travellers then continued to Canberra for an overnight stay and group dinner.
On Sunday, members attended the Divine Liturgy for the feast day of St Nicholas at the St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church of Canberra, followed by the church’s annual Paniyiri featuring food, music and community celebration.
