Friends Academy Invites Surrounding Communities to Celebrate 150 Years at Historic Fall Fair on October 3

New: Food Trucks! Grit Ninja! Permanent Jewelry! Petting Zoo!
LOCUST VALLEY, NEW YORK — Open to everyone, the annual Fall Fair at Friends Academy promises adults and children of all ages a spectacular day of family fun, thrilling rides, diverse culinary offerings, and spirited athletic events on the school’s 65-acre campus.
Held October 3 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the cherished tradition takes on even greater meaning this year as Friends celebrates its historic 150th anniversary.&nbsp;
The carnival portion of the Fall Fair will feature games and rides such as the Zipper, Super Slide, Cliffhanger, Tornado, Happy Swing, Dizzy Dragon, and Round-Up. Ride bracelets will be available for purchase at the Fair or on Friends Academy’s website: <a href="https://www.friendsacademy.org/the-latest/school-events/fall-fair" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.friendsacademy.org/the-latest/school-events/fall-fair</a>.
This year’s Fall Fair features an expanded and exciting lineup of food trucks and booths serving something for every appetite. Guests can enjoy empanadas, BBQ, ice cream, Italian-inspired favorites, Gourmasian, and Caribbean cuisine, as well as classic treats from the Quaker Baker, Friends Fries, and Quenchers.
Throughout the day, families can explore a wide variety of activities, including a free petting zoo and Grit Ninja Obstacle Course. There will also be face painting, a photo booth, airbrush T-shirts and hats, permanent jewelry, henna artistry, hair tinsel, candy sushi, trading cards, and more.&nbsp;
While laughter fills the air at the carnival, the Friends Academy girls’ field hockey team will face North Shore High School at 1 p.m. on the Turf Field behind the school. At 3 p.m., the Friends Academy boys’ soccer team will host Clarke High School on the Turf Field.&nbsp;
On October 3, Friends Academy will also honor the memory of Brian Hom, a track star who was a member of the Class of 2011 and tragically died in a car accident during the spring of his senior year.&nbsp;
The 15th annual Brian Hom Memorial Run &amp; Walk will be held on campus at 8:30 a.m.; this event requires advanced registration and proceeds will benefit the Brian James Hom Scholarship. Established in the spring of 2011, the scholarship honors Friends Academy students who embody Brian’s innate generosity, personal warmth, wonderful sense of humor, and live by his motto, “I am the me I choose to be.”&nbsp;
The Fall Fair will be held rain or shine. For more information, or to register for the Memorial Run &amp; Walk, please visit the Friends Academy website: <a href="https://www.friendsacademy.org/the-latest/school-events/fall-fair" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.friendsacademy.org/the-latest/school-events/fall-fair</a>
