Hallockville Museum Farm will celebrate the 45th anniversary of its annual Country Fair on Saturday, Oct. 3, and Sunday, Oct. 4, with two days of farm animals, tractor pulls, traditional crafts, live music and other activities highlighting the North Fork’s agricultural heritage.

The fair will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days at the 28-acre historic farm at 6038 Sound Ave. in Riverhead.

New attractions this year include presentations on local Indigenous peoples by Tony Valderrama, a protégé of the late “Tee Pee Ted” Strickroth; a scarecrow-making contest; farm animal presentations by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County; a colonial costume photo station; a chainsaw sculpture demonstration by artist Gregg Klewicki; and line dancing lessons with Terry Lou Barrett.

The fair will also feature historical tours and demonstrations of traditional skills, including colonial cooking over an open fire, broom making and bread baking. Folk artists will demonstrate basket weaving, spinning, quilting, needlework and wood carving.

The neighboring Long Island Antique Power Association grounds will host tractor pulls and parades, blacksmithing, sawmill and antique machinery demonstrations and a children’s train ride. Other activities include wagon rides, children’s games and crafts and a marketplace featuring baked goods, crafts and handmade wares.
