The first in what is planned to be an annual town-sponsored event, organized by the Rosendale Economic Development Commission, the Rosendale Harvest Festival will be held 5-7 p.m. Friday Sept. 22, in Willow Kiln Park, behind the Rosendale Theatre, 408 Main St., Rosendale. The festival will include: Fiddlehead Farm, Three Sisters Farm, Seed Song Farm, Damn Good Honey, craft vendors and Ulster Corps. From 5-6:30 p.m. there will be live music with David Kraai, sponsored by Carl Cox Studios, and at 6:30 p.m., a drum circle with Fre’ Atlast and friends to honor the equinox and ceremony with Paul Tobin. Each restaurant will feature a locally sourced product. Next year, the Rosendale Economic Commission plans to host Fourth Friday celebrations in June, July and August, with a Harvest Festival sometime in September. For more information, contact Megan Sperry, chair of the Rosendale EDC, at 917-930-6726 or email megan@megansperry.com.
