The Greenville American Legion hosted its third annual French-Canadian dinner on Saturday, celebrating the town’s immigrant roots.

The event started as a way to commemorate the town’s 150th anniversary celebration, but was so popular, it became an annual event. Volunteers served dishes made by cooks from Greenville and the surrounding area, including dishes such as boulettes de porc (pork meatballs), tourtière (pork pie), pâté chinois (Chinese pie), la soupe aux pois (pea soup), chicken fricot (an Acadian stew) and baked beans à la Canadienne.
