Our third annual Cinco de Maxo is accompanied by The Friends of Long Point showcasing stories of yesteryear!  Today we are joined by local historians, Vince & Lore DiSalvo, who graciously set up an expansive historical display in our event room.  Vince just so happens to be celebrating his 70th birthday and Lore surprised him with a stunning cake recreation of the McPherson Steamer, later named The Starrucca, which ran excursions around Conesus Lake from 1883 to 1902.  Our Mexican themed food and wine pairing event today features the following recipes, for those of you who are interested in recreating these at home:
