Games, Animals, Magic, Fun

East Hampton is set for an exciting Saturday, as the 121st annual Ladies Village Improvement Society summer fair comes to 95 Main Street from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The fair will feature clothing, crafts, flowers, jewelry, “Christmas in July,” and East Hampton-themed booths, along with games, face painting, a petting zoo, two magic shows, toys, and the always-popular carousel for children. The L.V.I.S. thrift stores — the Bargain Box and Bargain Books — will be open for shoppers, and Ina Garten will sign copies of her latest book, “Cooking for Jeffrey,” starting at 11 a.m. in the fireplace room.

This year some new vendors will be at the food court, Brent’s Deli and Luigi’s among them, until 5 p.m. And, for the first time, there will be a membership booth, where fairgoers can get information about volunteering for or joining the L.V.I.S.

Taking a chance at the raffle booth is always encouraged, and participants could win $2,000, $1,000, or $500. Tickets are $2 for one or $10 for six.

While a silent auction won’t be accessible online this year, bidding will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the society grounds or over the phone at 973-727-8775. All silent auction items are listed on lvissilentauction.com. They include a cast-bronze sculpture, a three-month Y.M.C.A. membership, a color and cut at Gil Ferrer Salon, jewelry, tickets to “Hamilton” on Broadway, and a seven-day cruise. A select number of items are available to buy now for a set price by calling 631-324-1220, extension 2.

There will also be an auction in which people can buy affordable tickets and insert them into slots of items they prefer. The winners will be determined through a drawing at 4 p.m. Items are listed online and include gift cards, manicures and pedicures, a ceramic tray and accessories, and a paddleboard rental.

The traditional Lions Club chicken barbecue and clam bar will be missing on Saturday, having moved to the American Legion Hall in Amagansett last weekend, but the L.V.I.S. will still have food, drinks, and live music in the sunken garden from 3 to 5 p.m.
