Staying local is a great choice, not a default.

It’s summertime, and the local fair/festival season is off to a great start. Here is my husband doing his  ‘Kilroy was here’ interpretation in  honor of Memorial Day for the annual White Plains gala, next weekend.

Also next weekend is the Tarrytown Street Fair, which will occupy much of Main Street. www.sleepyhollowchamber.com

Have your Wheaties and slather on the sunscreen, you will need it for the next weekend, where Ossining, Katonah Fire Department and the Armonk Lions are all having soirees.

The Armonk event is called a Fol de Rol. Various web definitions confirm it is a day of family fun, and apparently successful, this being it’s 36th year. www.armonklions.org.

Local artists and craftspeople, good food, and cool vendors will be in good supply at each. Bring your  friends, meet new ones and support your community, it doesn’t get better than this.
