MILLERTON — Plans for Millerton’s 175th anniversary celebration are taking shape, and organizers are seeking volunteers to help staff the community fair scheduled for July 17-19 at Eddie Collins Memorial Park.
The three-day fair will follow a week of anniversary events held throughout the village and at the park. Planned attractions for the fair include live music each day, inflatable rides and games, food and beer vendors, commemorative merchandise, a petting zoo and giveaways.
Anna Clune, a member of the Millerton 175th Committee, is leading the volunteer recruitment effort.
Clune said volunteers for the fair are needed in four primary areas: directing parking, staffing the merchandise booth, chaperoning the children’s zone and assisting at an information booth.
Friday and Saturday will be divided into two shifts, Clune said, with volunteers having their choice of working the first half, the second half or both.
The fair is set to operate on Friday from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. and on Saturday from noon to 10 p.m.
Sunday will have only one shift, with fair activities scheduled to run from noon to 6 p.m. in Eddie Collins Memorial Park.
Interested volunteers can sign up under the “Volunteer” section of the celebration’s webpage, villageofmillerton-ny.gov/175th.
Clune is also available to provide more information by email at annaclune1023@gmail.com.
