The wrong forecast of bad weather turned out to be three beautiful days for the Clark UNICO 7th Annual UNICO Italian American Feast. Thousands of people came to the Annual Feast over the three days of the Columbus Day weekend. Clark UNICO President Ralph Bernardo was thrilled with the record number of attendees. The feast brought back favorites including rides, games, TV raffle, beer, wine, crafts, novelties, 50/50 and of course a huge selection of food vendors with a great selection such as sausage and peppers, zeppoles, funnel cake, seafood, barbecue, pizza, gyros, funnel cake, pastries, pastas, ice cream and the list goes on and on. Continuous entertainment each day and night took place with live bands – Brother John Brown, Jimmy Alleva, Oldies Group – Sounds of the Street, Italian Roving Minstrels and Angelo Gentile.
The annual feast is Clark UNICO’s largest fundraiser. “Last year we gave back in excess of $32,000 to the township of Clark in donations and scholarships” Bernardo said. He also would like to thank the 120 volunteers that helped make the feast happen. It is a huge undertaking and we could never have done it alone.
UNICO is one of the last remaining service organizations in the area. That is what makes UNICO unique in that we are proud of our Italian heritage and live our motto of “Service above self”. For more information about the feast, club or membership call 908-337-7773.
