The Greater Nanuet Chamber of Commerce will host its Seventh Annual Nanuet Street Fair on Sunday, October 17th from 10am – 5pm on Main Street. The event has quickly become one of the most popular in Rockland County and attracted more than 15,000 people in previous years.

Parking and admission are free. This year’s Fair will feature nearly 200 vendors, a Kidz Zone, car/jeep show, musical entertainment all day long, and more. Musical performances will include FDR Drive Band, Country Fresh, and Georgia 5.

The day will start with free coffee at 10am. Everyone who shows up by 11:15am to the coffee area will receive a ticket for the special “Small Town, Big Heart” raffle and 20 people will win a $10 gift certificate to spend during the Fair at any vendor.

The Kidz Zone will include rides, crafts, local dancers, singers, karate demonstrations along with musical performances, and a live reptile show. Children can have an all-access pass for rides and bounce houses for $15 for the day or purchase tickets individually for $5.00 each.

The Nanuet Street Fair will also feature local bands on the main stage at Church Street, plenty of unique food purveyors, wine, beer, and dessert options. Nearly 200 vendors will be onsite selling clothing and jewelry, artwork, quality handmade crafts, along with many local businesses showcasing goods and services.

The car/jeep show will take place in front of the old firehouse on Prospect Street. People interested in showing their car can sign up that morning for $10 entry fee. First, second, and third place trophies will be given in both the car and jeep categories.

“It was a tough year and half for many residents and businesses, so we are thrilled to be able to bring back our Fair this year. We only host one Street Fair a year, so we want to make sure it’s memorable,” stated Jerry Tuchband, President of the Nanuet Chamber.

This year the Fair’s Premier Event Sponsor is the Tourism Board of Rockland County. Gold sponsors are Dynamic Productions, Luxury Kitchen & Bath, and RocklandParent.com. Silver Sponsors include Active International, GMG Public Relations, Good Samaritan Hospital, Mercedes-Benz of Nanuet, Nanuet Restaurant, Town of Clarkstown, and WestRock Pool & Spa. Bronze Sponsors include Bach to Rock, Kumon of Nanuet, Orange & Rockland, Prestige Realty Group, Rockland Bakery, and Wallauer Paint & Design.

“We are the only Street Fair in the tri-state where you can pick up a free goody bag when you arrive. The bag itself is a gift but inside are goodies and coupons from local vendors around Nanuet,” stated Susan Farese, Fair organizer for the Nanuet Chamber of Commerce. The bags are distributed to the first 500 families who stop by the Nanuet Chamber booth at Market Street.

“Senior Boot Camp” is back on Thursday, March 21, 2024!

Published

on

The Senior Activity Center members have been drafted to compete in the 2024 Senior Boot Camp. This event initially began in 2012 and ran annually until 2019.  It is now making its triumphant post-covid return on Thursday, March 21, 2024 from 10:00am-1:30pm at the Dominican University Hennessy Center in Blauvelt, NY.  120 Meals on Wheels Senior Activity Center participants are expected to attend the return of one of their favorite events.  These Seniors attend one of our four centers across the county, Clarkstown-Pearl River, Nyack, Orangetown and Ramapo. 

The Seniors will be participating in ten events, including cup stacking, duck memory game, soccer kicking, flickin’ chicken and a good old fashioned shell game.  Senior Boot Camp is a fun way for Senior Activity Center members to come together and stretch their bodies and minds. It encourages exercise and movement within our seniors, enjoy some friendly competition and definitely brings smiles!  At the end of the event, there will be a performance by an all-Senior musical group, The Music Makers.  We also have some fun surprises planned.   Additionally, there will be 28 vendors with services related to Senior needs.  We are grateful for our Platinum and Gold Sponsors, Jessica Kiely, PC, Estate Planning & Elder Law, The Esplanade at Palisades, Emerald Medicare, WellCare of New York Inc., Montefiore Nyack and The Willows at Ramapo Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, for making this event possible.

With our partners at Dominican University, our seniors will have fun participating in different challenges alongside university students and student athletes.  Intergenerational interactions are vital as they strengthen the community and can help prevent the feelings of isolation and loneliness that may come with age.  Meals on Wheels Senior Activity Centers is a program supported in part by the Rockland County Office for the Aging, the New York State Office for the Aging, the Administration on Aging and the County of Rockland.

The 60th Annual Rockland County St. Patrick’s Day Parade March 17th

Published

on

 The parade steps off at 1:30. Roads will be closed so plan accordingly.

Patrick crisscrossed the countryside, God blessed him mightily. Tens of thousands of Irish were converted and hundreds of churches were established! Thomas Cahill writes in his book, How the Irish Saved Civilization, through Patrick’s courageous leadership, this warrior populace “laid down the swords of battle, flung away the knives of sacrifice, and cast away their chains of slavery.”

St. Patrick‘s Day was originally celebrated in Ireland with religious services and feasts in honour of St. Patrick, one of Ireland’s patron saints. When Irish immigrants brought St. Patrick’s Day traditions to the United States, the day evolved into a secular celebration of Irish culture.
