PULASKI, NY – Pulaski’s South Park came alive with music, food and a wide variety of crafts and services as the Village celebrated the 9th annual Family Fun Day on Saturday, May 14, 2022.
A long stretch of sunny days and above average temperatures created a summer-like atmosphere, and festival goers made the most of the weather, perusing the many tents and stands in short pants, sundresses, and short sleeves.
The event coincided with Pulaski’s Village wide yard and garage sales, pulling in visitors from all over Upstate New York, as well as families living within walking distance of the park.
A portion of the proceeds of the upbeat festival were donated to the local food pantry, Pulaski Community Cupboard, with many participants bringing canned and boxed non-perishable items to contribute.
The event was hosted by Samantha Stewart and Deb Catlin of Helping Hands/MIC Event Planners. Catlin was very pleased with the turnout and the beautiful weather, and said with so many things going on in the Village, that it was great to see the crowd enjoying the day’s festivities.
“Everybody is enjoying the music, and I think we are doing great,” Catlin said.
