Annunciation's 2024 Greek Bazaar has been canceled; here are scenes (and a recipe) from past bazaars

For 65 years, crowds showed up at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church for pastries, savory pies, Greek meals as well as culture and community.

Even a pandemic didn't stop the annual Greek Bazaar. For several years, the event moved to drive-through service the first weekend of November.

But delays in the church's kitchen renovations have canceled the 2024 bazaar , says Alexandra Schramm, co-chair of the event.
