LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY (August 24, 2015) – The Livingston Manor Labor Day Festival is good old-fashioned family fun! The event will be  held on Sunday, September 6.

This year the pre-festival activities will include a 5K run at 10:00 a.m. and fun runs for kids at 11:00 a.m., both starting on Main Street.

Festival activities will open in Renaissance Park (near the traffic light on Main Street) at 11:00 a.m. starting with music by Doug Rogers and the Backseat Drivers who will be followed by guitarist Cat Wilson and a talent show highlighting the abilities of local youth.

The talent show will be opened by the gifted singer Tessa Nettleton, 8^thgrader and last year’s talent show winner. Children can have fun with country-fair-style games, face painting and crafts.

Library volunteers will be grilling hot dogs and hamburgers from Snowdance Farm, and Thai food will be available from Sweet Basil. Visitors will find vendors with child-friendly products including handmade toys and dolls; view vintage cars from local car clubs and browse the colossal book sale.

Three beautiful handmade quilts will be raffled off to benefit the library; the Livingston Manor Central School (LMCS) 8^th grade class will hold a bake sale; and the LMCS teachers will have free iced coffee for festival-goers.

This event is sponsored by the Livingston Manor Library and the Livingston Manor Chamber of Commerce with support from Global Natural Foods, Livingston Manor Rotary Club, Jeff Bank and M&M Auto Group.

Proceeds benefit the children’s programs of the Livingston Manor Library. For more information call (845)439-5440. To register for the 5K run, go to livingstonmanorlibrary.org for a printable registration form or active.com to register online.
