Hurleyville, NY – Stop by the Sullivan County Museum on Sunday afternoon, October 8, to catch live music with local band Little Sparrow during the Hurleyville Scarecrow Festival!
Joined by special guests Henry Simon and Jay Brooks, Little Sparrow and their unique multi-generational band have quickly become local favorites. Simon is a guitarist and a senior at Sullivan West High School, and band members Aldo Troiani and Carol Smith are also seniors (just not the high school kind). Bassist Jay Brooks is a retired art teacher from Monticello High School. They share a love of the music of Neil Young, Jerry Garcia and the songs of the Woodstock generation.
The Museum will open at noon on Sunday, and the music begins at 2 p.m. Come early and enjoy the new game room in the Museum’s auditorium, which now has cornhole boards and a ping-pong table! Museum tours and refreshments will also be available and donations are welcome. Call for more info at 845-434-8044.
And while you’re in town, wander down to the Main Street Festival area, which will include vendors, kids’ activities, live music, sidewalk sales, and of course, scarecrows! Take a selfie with all the scarecrows around town and enter to win a prize. Festival hours are from 12 to 4 p.m.
The Museum is located at 265 Main Street, Hurleyville. The concert and game room at the Museum is brought to you courtesy of the Frederick Cook Society, which maintains an arctic photography gallery and a research library there.
