Free pumpkins at Moriches Chamber of Commerce's fall fest

Free pumpkins will be among the attractions Saturday at the Moriches Chamber of Commerce's Fall Festival.

There also will be arts and crafts, food, sand art and other activities, the chamber said.

The fair will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. along Main Street. The rain date is Sunday.

Brookhaven Town Councilman Daniel Panico said he would play chess with his constituents from noon to 2 p.m. at a table set up in Bank Street Park.

"The annual fall fair is a favorite among residents with its many vendors and activities, and I think that this activity will only add to the overall festivities," he said in a statement. "It also gives me the opportunity to meet one-on-one with constituents in my district, while enjoying a good game of chess."
