5th Annual Barony of Rose Sale

The Rotary Club is holding its rose sale this weekend, in advance of Repayment Day on June 24. The original tract of land was granted to Letitia Penn from her brothers under a feudal system that required her to demonstrate her allegiance to them by providing one red rose per year on June 24th.

According to the article in the Express-Times (read it here):

Rotary Club President Patrick Russamano said roses will be sold for $3.50 apiece and be available at Center Square, Nazareth YMCA, the KNBT branch on Broad Street, Moravian Hall Square, the Nazareth 7-Eleven, Nazareth Diner and the Wal-Mart on Route 248 in Northampton Crossings.

Proceeds benefit community projects within the Nazareth area. Sale times are 3 to 6 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
