Thinks good mom. 22 00:02:24.030 --> 00:02:29.260 We were sort of piggybacking on the old Dutch event by with an organ fundraiser for 23 00:02:29.270 --> 00:02:34.330 the main church and so I got to play poker music which is not something I do very 24 00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:39.770 often and that sort of make this more of an October Fest and that was really was 25 00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:46.700 a fun. Ok coming back at it I'm Eleanor Griffin in 26 00:02:46.990 --> 00:02:53.810 Jamestown right and shall I. Ended up with this beautiful assignment to create 27 00:02:53.820 --> 00:03:00.740 a plan and find other ways to help celebrate all that has been there. And just is 28 00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:04.880 the grand finale for our home and we really lucked out because today because of the 29 00:03:04.890 --> 00:03:08.280 sunshine and everything else that was happening we had 30 00:03:08.290 --> 00:03:15.230 a crowd. Pleaser to get to know you heard about this great history because 31 00:03:15.330 --> 00:03:20.300 you can clearly see ambition is going to break your company head once more see 32 00:03:20.310 --> 00:03:25.390 around and see the light about it myself to see if this church could see almost 33 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.530 sure that she is New York state again it's where Washington Irving situated the 34 00:03:30.540 --> 00:03:36.890 legendary want to live and you can almost feel the quality out of the lines of what 35 00:03:36.900 --> 00:03:41.450 it was like going to Washington Irving lived there are when you look back 36 00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:46.190 a month or so for instance the song that she dislikes be easier facing the same way 37 00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:47.790 you know seizing on there's 38 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.110 a lot of history here to tell the American Revolution as well that was really 39 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.120 fascinating to me that this was 40 00:03:54.210 --> 00:03:59.020 a mutual subsidies no man's land between the British forces in New York City and 41 00:03:59.470 --> 00:04:04.220 American forces north of here in Texas. Though there were some of the difficult 42 00:04:04.230 --> 00:04:07.890 very difficult times here. And the sister e. 43 00:04:07.940 --> 00:04:13.940 This church is really. Part of the community for so many years and in so much the 44 00:04:13.950 --> 00:04:18.570 members created the community based on this history of the community as well as the 45 00:04:18.580 --> 00:04:20.660 church I am 46 00:04:20.790 --> 00:04:25.220 a member of the Reform Church of the Terrys Council and the oldest church is one of 47 00:04:25.230 --> 00:04:28.760 our properties and one of the places that we worship primarily in the summertime 48 00:04:29.310 --> 00:04:33.070 and of course it's everybody's church all year long because of historic site here 49 00:04:33.080 --> 00:04:38.190 in the Hudson Valley and we love to remind people about the in-store connection 50 00:04:38.200 --> 00:04:42.640 between the church between our community of faith and tweak the history on the 51 00:04:42.650 --> 00:04:47.280 screen place to live so I was great it was great to hear to be here to get my book 52 00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:49.290 from Cheney is 53 00:04:49.300 --> 00:04:55.520 a member of our parish and also to to say hi to the Headless Horseman.
