The annual Big Moose Community Chapel Balsam Bee will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Saturday, July 27, at the Chapel.
All are welcome to participate in this local Adirondack tradition of making the balsam pillows which will be sold at the Chapel’s annual bazaar on August 3rd.
Balsam pillows were first made at the Chapel in the 1930s by a women’s group called “The Willing Workers,” and today the Bee welcomes everyone of all ages.
Jobs include grinding fresh-cut balsam, and stuffing and sewing the pillows. No experience is necessary, and all are invited for a family-friendly evening.
The Chapel is located five miles west of Eagle Bay on Big Moose Road.
