In an ongoing effort to provide communities with more opportunities to socialize and learn, the Town of Hamlin Recreation Department is offering new events this fall.
For history buffs, Ed Evans will present a special event on the exciting history of Hamlin Beach State Park on Sunday, October 2 at 2 p.m. This presentation will include many stories and photographs that will transport the audience to pre and post WWII with dozens of photographs and fascinating stories about the Park’s construction and its later influence as a POW camp. The presentation will begin at the Charlie Maier Lodge and end with a tour of the site at the Park. Coffee and cake will be provided by the Hamlin Youth Group.
For more varied fall weekends, Hamlin Recreation has created the Saturday Market. Beginning on September 10, then continuing on the first Saturday every following month, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Charlie Maier Lodge in the Hamlin Town Park will be devoted to the Saturday Market. Entrance to the park is at 2806 Roosevelt Highway.
Local vendors will display their wares while residents can come to browse, purchase, eat, learn … or just hang out! The Concession Stand will be open to create a café atmosphere in a lovely facility. Various how-to demonstrations from cooking to small engine maintenance will be held throughout the event.
Hamlin Recreation will accept more applications from local crafters or skilled professionals who would like to share their talents in How-To demonstrations for future market dates ranging in anything from wreath making to home maintenance.
The Town of Hamlin’s Saturday Market schedule is available on the event’s Facebook page or by contacting the Hamlin Recreation Department at 964-7222.
