The Jerry J. Helfer Memorial Food Truck Rodeo will be held on Tuesday, June 8, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Greece Town Hall Campus. This will be in conjunction with the Town of Greece Summer Concert Series featuring Zac Brown Tribute Band. The concert begins at 6 p.m.
Jerry Helfer was a man of exceptional character and virtue who always exhibited kindness to anyone he encountered. Throughout his life, Jerry dedicated his time and talents to making the Greece community a better place. One of Jerry’s first positions in public service was as a member of the Greece Youth Board. Additionally, Jerry served as Town Councilman from 1998 until 2009 and as Deputy Supervisor from January 2014 until his passing in July of the same year. Proceeds collected from the Food Truck Rodeo will go towards the Jerry J. Helfer Youth Engagement Scholarship. There will also be a donation box at the event for anyone wishing to donate directly towards the scholarship fund.
The Jerry J. Helfer Youth Engagement Scholarship provides the Greece community with the opportunity to recognize a student who regularly upholds exemplary moral values, devotes time and energy into helping serve the Greece community, and consistently displays outstanding leadership skills.

“As you all know, we were unable to host this beloved event last year. I have been very excited these past few weeks with encouraging news of more opportunities for openings and gatherings. As more restrictions are lifted, my staff and I are working tirelessly to bring back the wonderful events that were not possible last year. I hope you and your family will join us for an evening of food, music, and fun!” said Supervisor Bill Reilich.
