Holiday in Homer to fill the green Saturday

Posted

Expect more than 80 vendors selling arts, crafts, books — even dog treats. Look for the entertainment. And you might even find a few artists at Holiday in Homer Saturday.

The event is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Village Green, where you can dunk a cop, listen to live music by Doc Weismore and Real Country, take a horse-drawn wagon ride and admire the quilts at the quilt shoqw.

Artists taking part in the Center for the Arts of Homer’s plein air contest may also be on the green, painting scenes. More than 25 artists have signed up to take part, although that two-day event encompasses a broader area.

And while forecasting it might be a jinx, the National Weather Service in Binghamton expects sunny weather, with a high about 81 degrees.
