Bring the family to celebrate autumn at Fairhaven’s 5th annual Harvest Fun Day, this Saturday, October 14, on the lawn of Fairhaven High School at the Visitors Center, 141 Main Street. It will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Harvest Fun Day features a varied group of 48 booths by local organizations and businesses with arts & crafts, home décor, children’s activities, food, and sweet treats.
Children’s activities include a bounce house, face painting and henna designs by Heart Body Arts, craft making with Learning House Preschool, pumpkin painting with Supreme Perfectionists Dancers, and other games and activities. Kids can also decorate cookies, do nail painting and make slime! You can take a photo with princesses and meet Buttons the Bear from Carousel Family Fun Center. And children can take a seat in an old-time McCormick Farmall tractor for a photo opportunity, courtesy of Ronald Hammond, or climb in a hay wagon from J & L Beaulieu Farm Stand.
Items for sale include a large variety of hand-made items. Author Rachel Spaulding will be selling and signing her book, In Search of Ellen Marie. In front of the high school, the FHS Honor Society will be holding a car wash. When hunger sets in, a variety of hot food and great desserts will be available for purchase.
All through the day, classic hits from “the Good Old Days” will be played by Ken Souza of KJ Tunes.
Harvest Fun Day is organized and sponsored by the Fairhaven Office of Tourism. Admission is free and there’s parking in the Fairhaven High School lots. For more information, call 508-979-4085 or email FairhavenTours@fairhaven-ma.gov.
