The Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society’s Fall Colonial Fair is set for Oct. 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Sands-Willets House at 336 Port Washington Blvd. in Port Washington. Admission is free.
The Oct. 8 Colonial Fair marks the return of this family event, which was on a hiatus for two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This popular event features fun for the entire family. Kids can enjoy the petting zoo, pony rides and the opportunity to climb aboard a fire truck.
Adults can peruse the massive antique tool collection in the Historical Society’s restored 1690 Dutch Barn, browse the annual bonanza book sale and enjoy fabulous raffle baskets, wool spinning, potter potting and colonial craft demonstrations. On display will be a World War II Jeep and classic cars.
Visitors can spend time in the Historical Society’s blooming Colonial Garden and glimpse the current “WW1: The Home Front” exhibit.
Jars of fresh, local honey produced on the Society’s Dodge Homestead will be for sale at the fair, as well as costume jewelry along with Cow Neck “Circa 1644” shirts that commemorate the year when Port Washington was settled. Also on tap: delicious hot food, snacks and other treats.
The Colonial Fair features live entertainment all day long with performances by the Historical Society’s Front Porch Players and the Willow Interfaith Women’s Choir.
