March 14, the Arts Project of Cherry Grove (APCG) held its annual In-Town Party at, as last year, APCG currently boasts 142 members, according to Martha Pitkin, and many were in attendance to enjoy a brunch, catered by Joe Babbington and Friends, and hear the theme of the coming summer's events, "The Greatest Show on Earth,"
 

This year’s Theme: The Circus is Coming to Town this summer

The Annual Late winter convocation is a magnet for extremes in weather from snow storms to sudden spring – no different this year as it capped a weekend of torrential rain. But March 14 at  New York City's LGBT Community Center was aglow in primary clown colors  and spirits lightened as well at the sight (you can see in the pictures everyone grinning with delight at seeing friends and embracing the clown concept)
