After 125 Years, Still Going Strong: St. Luke's Fair

From Long Island-

It started 125 years ago: a small fair on the lawn of St. Luke's Episcopal Church that raised $950 for the community. Now, more than a century later, the St. Luke's Fair continues to provide fun and games, along with great food and expensive prizes, to residents and summer visitors alike.

Year after year, the Fair has attracted not only local and visiting families, but also a fair number of the fairest celebrities who reside on the East End. There have even been a few non-resident celebrities who have stopped by such as Paul Newman and John Lindsay. Last year, New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly visited the fair, no doubt not looking for criminals on the lam. (Whitey Bulger may have been apprehended a lot earlier if he had visited the Fair).

This year, there are going to be some exceptional prizes auctioned off to visitors to the Fair: a South Beach Condo vacation, a private curator-guided tour of the Museum of Modern Art, another private tour of all the backstage facilities at the Metropolitan Opera, gourmet dinners at the 1770 House, the Grill, Cittanuova, and East Hampton Point (a circuit usually pursued by hungry restaurant critics), two dreamy nights at the Maidstone Arms, and much more.
