Model train show on display in Bedford Hills through Jan. 28

The Bedford Hills Historical Museum is hosting a “New Model Train Show” on the lower level of the Town of Bedford building located at 321 Bedford Road, Bedford Hills.

The display is open Thursday and Saturday through Jan. 28, from 1 to 3 p.m.

Visitors can see the HO Gauge model trains run on the track in the village that was built by the late Dr. Robert Bibi of Katonah and donated by his wife, Maria, and reinstalled at the museum. With the guidance of our board member and train aficionado, Rick Carmichael, members of the Olde Newburgh Model Railroad Club installed the HO-gauge set at the museum where it remains on display.

The museum says the new model train display is great for kids of all ages and adults, and it’s free of charge.

Blue skies smile on Lewisboro Library Fair

The weather was a fairy tale in itself, a perfect last day of summer with blue skies, low humidity and temperatures in the low 70s. The crowd was bustling and the parking was hard to come by at Onatru Farm with so many visitors coming for the Lewisboro Library Fair. The heart of the fair was the book sales and the attic treasures, but there were plenty else going on. Food trucks, a silent auction, a beer garden, a kids zone, bouncy castles, live music, information tents for local groups, a vendor concourse showcase, a classic car show, a bake sale, scouting demonstrations, and the ever popular dunk tank. Many people volunteered as “dunkees” including Assemblyman Chris Burdick, Town Supervisor Tony Goncalves and County Legislator Erika Pierce.

Tri-Festa triples down on Bedford pride

Bedford’s largest community event of the year, Tri-Festa, again attracted a large crowd. The fun celebrating the town’s three hamlets was focused at Bedford Hills Memorial Park, with food trucks, live music, a beer and wine garden, children’s games, family entertainment, community organizations and more. Past events attracted more than 1,200 people, and Saturday’s event, with fair weather and blue skies, appeared the same.

Dogs have a ball at town pool — Town pools are closed for the season. In Lewisboro, that means it was dog season at the pool — if only for one glorious afternoon. The 8th annual “Drool in the Pool” was held at the Lewisboro Town Pool on Sept. 15. More than 50 dogs splashed, raced and wrestled the hours away.
