East Hampton plans town 250th activities, October fair and holiday historic-inn tours
Summary
Minu said East Hampton will defer some July 4 celebrations into October as part of a year-long 250th commemoration, with a Mulford Farm fair on Oct. 17 and holiday historic-inn tours planned for later in the year.
Gavin Minu told the program that East Hampton's 250th anniversary activities will extend beyond July 4 and that the chamber will help stage events later in the year. "Because of the nature of our summer craziness... we push the celebration into October," Minu said, adding that the East Hampton Historical Society will host a fair at Mulford Farm on October 17.
Minu also described traditional seasonal programming the chamber supports, including tours of historic inns such as the Baker House and the 1770 House during the holidays. He said planning for holiday events begins months in advance and emphasized the chamber's role in promoting member businesses and cultural sites to both visitors and year-round residents.
The publisher framed these programs as ways to draw business in the off-season and to showcase local heritage, and he encouraged local businesses to participate in chamber events and promotional opportunities.
