40,000 expected at annual Babylon Village fair

Babylon Village officials said they expect 40,000 visitors Sunday, Sept. 8, at the 40th annual Country Fair at Argyle Lake Park.

The fair, which runs from noon to 5 p.m., will have 250 vendors selling food and crafts. There will also be a children’s section with small rides.

The Babylon Beautification Society, which runs the fair, raises money for projects such as streetside planters and maintenance of the village clock. Last year’s fair netted $35,000, officials said.

The rain date is Sept. 15. Weather notices will be posted on villageofbabylonny.gov.
