So much to do at Queens County Farm Fair

Come on down to the 32nd annual Queens County Farm Museum Fair on Sept. 20 and 21.

One of the most popular events of the year features blue ribbon competitions in livestock, produce, home crafts, arts and crafts, and more. Fair goers enjoy pie eating- and corn husking-contests, pig races, hayrides, carnival rides, midway games, and kids’ entertainment by Big Apple Circus To-Go.

Families also dance the day away at the Bavarian Garden with an Irish band (Saturday) and German band (Sunday). Check out the ConEdison Ecology booth, where you can adopt a worm for your home compost bin, get gardening and recycling tips, and enjoy free crafts for kids.

The farm’s corn maze opens this weekend, complete with craft and food vendors.
