A pumpkin patch, painted faces, stuffed scarecrows and blacksmithing were just a few of the things that entertained the many visitors to the two-day Rock Hall Country Fair last weekend.
The 30th annual event at the 18th century plantation house turned Town of Hempstead museum in Lawrence brought history alive with live demonstration of wampum making, basket weaving, broom making, carpentry/white coppering and tinsmithing.
