Carousel, Games, and Magic

The booths are set up and preparations are being finalized for the Ladies Village Improvement Society Fair, which opens at 10 a.m. on Saturday with attractions for children and adults alike. The fair will be on the lawn of the Gardiner Brown House at 95 Main Street with some of its activities for children set up in Herrick Park next door.

Magic Jeff the Magician will perform at 11 a.m. and noon. There will be face-painting, balloons, games with prizes for kids, cotton candy, a petting zoo, a giant slide, and an old-fashioned carousel.

For grown-ups, a silent auction with a tremendous range of items will be featured. Among the lots are two tickets to “Hamilton” on Broadway in September and V.I.P. box tickets and dinner at a Barbra Streisand performance at the Barclays Center on Aug. 11. Other attractions include booths filled with hats, vintage clothing, homemade jams and baked goods, flowers and potted plants, needlepoint and other crafts made by L.V.I.S. members, and jewelry.

As always, the Lions Club will serve up barbecued chicken from 3 to 7 p.m., with a clam bar with wine and beer opening at 2 p.m. to whet everyone’s appetites. There will be live music from Mamalee Rose and Friends to accompany those sticking around for the food. Tickets to the barbecue are $20.

Admission to the fair is by donation at the gate.
