Description
The Greenlawn Fire Department’s Fireman’s Fair, held every Labor Day Weekend, is New York State’s longest-running Fireman’s Fair. Chairman notes, “Our fair has become an end-of-summer tradition for generations of local families.” The fair’s reputation is upheld year after year by the superior selection of goods and prizes to be won in a multitude of games of chance as well as its hometown family atmosphere. “Our prizes are of the highest quality, from sides of beef to housewares and brand-name electronics, it’s the prizes that keep ’em coming back,” Lee explained. The grand prize is raffled off on the last night of the fair, traditionally Labor Day. Each year, the fair is kicked off by the Fireman’s Parade Night on the Thursday before Labor Day when firefighters and ambulance personnel from surrounding departments make their way down Broadway to congregate on the fairgrounds behind GFD headquarters, enjoy an ice-cold drink and a bite to eat. Summer culinary favorites are always a hit…spicy fresh hot dogs, buttery corn on the cob, fresh-cut potato fries, snow cones, cotton candy, ice cream, and more… While the children are getting sticky from the cotton candy, trying one of many skill games, or riding down the giant slide, parents can hit it big at the Big Six or Nevada booth. There’s always plenty of family fun every year at our fair…
