An open house in honor of George Washington’s birthday is slated for Saturday, Feb. 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Benjamin Patterson Inn, 59 W. Pulteney St., Corning.

Come join the fun! President Washington and Betsy Ross will be in attendance, and all are invited to share his birthday cake.

There is much to celebrate for both children and adults.
