UPDATE
Our “Fall in Love with the South Fork” event was a great success. We had 225-250 people attending throughout the day (208 actually signed in). And one visitor signed up
as a new member – Welcome!
Visitors toured the Tuthill House Museum, milk house, barn/privy and inspected the progress on the Foster-Meeker Heritage Center. Many stopping by, especially enjoyed our Board Member Dot Berdinka in period costume showing off her husbands vintage car and the fire truck lent for the day from Westhampton Beach Fire Department!
Additionally, we made over $800 at the Yard Sale and sold over 50 books thanks to a visitor with a special interest in decoys, sporting goods, and LI History. He was delighted to find the maritime books that were recently donated to the Society for this sale!
In the afternoon visitors were delighted with the music provided for free by Ken Ellis at the wine and cheese reception. This was a terrific way to show off one of the many special places the South Fork has to offer – our own Historical Society in this very special village of Westhampton Beach!
