Falling into fun at the Harvest Fair

Posted

Locals said that they had plenty of fall fun at the Seaford Historical Society’s 10th annual Harvest Fair on Sunday. 

Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Sunday, residents and visitors flocked to the Seaford Historical Museum for the event, which featured more than 50 vendors, food, a pumpkin patch, face painting and representatives from various community organizations. 

The Seaford Historical Society is a registered nonprofit organization that maintains and operates the museum, which originally served as a school when it was built in 1893. Funds raised at the Harvest Fair through the raffle and sale of Seaford merchandise — including shirts, hats, mugs and maps of the community — will benefit the maintenance of the museum, which houses memorabilia and artifacts that reflect Seaford’s long history as a bay and farming town. 

Guests sampled fall foods for sale and plants like pumpkins, mums and cornstalks. Youngsters also had a blast decorating pumpkins that they picked from patch, in addition to playing games and having their faces painted. 

The historical group made sure to offer entertainment for festivalgoers of all ages. The Seaford High School Jazz Band, Downstage Dance, Tiana DiConstanzo and the Long Island Cabaret Theatre all performed on the Hempstead Town ShowMobile. 

The Seaford Historical Society hosts events and programs for children and adults at the museum all year long. For more information, visit www.seafordhistoricalsociety.org
