Pasta helps hold historic home together

PORT BYRON - Saturday was a long day in the kitchen for Betty Smith.

She arrived at the Port Byron Federated Church at 10 a.m., ready to cook a pasta dinner for more than 100 people. But, by now, Smith is a practiced hand at this.

Saturday was the fifth pasta dinner fundraiser for the Lock 52 Historical Society and Smith, a long-time member of the historical society and a member of the board of directors, has been behind the scenes doing the cooking all along.
