seniorpicnicDear Editor: Approximately 80 participants enjoyed a delicious lunch and the opportunity to socialize during our annual end-of-summer event, at the pool, last Thursday.

The Scarsdale Seniors want to thank Brian Gray and Sue Oricchio from the Recreation Department, Jene Davis and the pool staff, Stacey Cook from the Scarsdale/Edgemont Family Counseling Service and Mike & his crew at the Scarsdale Pool Concession for the wonderful BBQ.

We look forward to future programs planned by Maida Silver, our new 'Senior Coordinator', resulting from the surveys she solicited from those present.

The SBA is excited to partner with the Scarsdale Farmers’ Market for this year’s HBW Fair, with a finely curated selection of fifteen vendors.

The HBW Fair will be donating a portion of the proceeds to Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling Service (SFCS). “As a counseling agency with a mission to strengthen and support family life and to contribute to the well-being of the community, we are gratified by the steadfast support of the SBA and the many residents and community organizations of Scarsdale, Edgemont and lower Westchester. We believe families matter and that healthy families are the cornerstone of a healthy community,” said Jay Genova, LCSW, executive director, SFCS. "We look forward to celebrating the ongoing health and strength of our community at this fantastic event."

The HBW Fair is a free community event, with a suggested minimum donation of $15 per adult. Kids’ Activity Tickets are available for pre-purchase and will also be available on-site ($5 each, $20 for five tickets, $50 for fifteen tickets).

A dashboard of the top racing times will be tracked throughout the day, and five winners will receive trophies and an additional prize at the conclusion of the event.

Make sure to test your precision skills by competing in the multiplayer balloon blast game. The winner of each round will receive a prize. And everyone's a winner who participates in any of the fan-favorite classic carnival games, including Ring Toss, Can Smash, Hit the Bucket, Bingo Balls, Ball in a Bowl, and Balloon Pop.

SSbagDespite soaring temperatures, Scarsdale residents flocked to the Village for the annual 2023 Summer Sidewalk Sale for fabulous, discounted deals. Each year the Scarsdale Business Alliance, a non-profit organization that supports local businesses, hosts the event to get the community engaged with local stores, restaurants, and businesses. This year the Sidewalk Sale was held from Thursday, July 27th through Saturday, July 29th.

Each day residents visited town favorites—Bronx River Books, Mixology, Rothmans, The Dark Horse—to take advantage of the annual sales. Rothmans, a high-end, family-owned, and operated men’s clothing store, was particularly popular for its extravagant sales. Other businesses that participated in the event include Amanda Arbeter Art, Eye Gallery of Scarsdale, Great Stuff, Learning Express and more.

In addition to supporting local retail stores, residents stopped by the Dine the ‘Dale tent to grab a bite from local restaurants. On each day of the sale, the Village was proud to host one of three food vendors: Popojito, the WingKing Truck, and the YumBro Food Truck. Popojito served chicken kabobs and a variety of delicious tacos; the WingKing Truck—one of Westchester’s new food trucks—sold wings, fries, and chicken fingers; and the YumBro Food Truck exposed Scarsdale to an assortment of Asian Fusian. santaChristmas in July at La Dentelliere

On Saturday, July 29th, families visited the tent to enjoy various family-friendly activities, including a balloon artist, face painting, caricature art, and musical activities with Bach to Rock, a Music School based in Mamaroneck. Bach to Rock will be having a grand opening in their new Scarsdale location in mid-August. At the end of the event, Scarsdale residents walked away with not only new goods but a sense of anticipation for next year’s Summer Sidewalk Sale.
