Ninth Annual SHANDAKEN DAY in Pine Hill

Shandaken Day is a free annual event for the family providing Live Music, Arts and Crafts Booths, Kids Games and great Catskill Mountain Fare. This year's event is being hosted by the Hamlet of Pine Hill on Main Street from 10am until 6pm. This year's event, aside from the usual celebration of all the organizations that make Shandaken a great place to live, work and visit, will be higlighting the recent designation of the Hamlet of Pine Hill as a State Historic Site. There is a kids day-long scavenger hunt where they can hunt for several unique buildings and historic features of the Hamlet.

A "Let's Move" ZUMBA dance will take place for all ages from 11am until 2pm at the Pine Hill Community Center.

Live Music to be performed by the Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice, Ben Rounds Band and Earl Pardini and the Slide Mountain String Band.

NOON starts all the kids games inclding the Spoon and Egg race, Water Balloon Toss and the ever popular Watermelon eating contest open all children 14 and under. Then of course there is the 4th Annual Shandaken Cup where our Emeregency Service personnel square off in a tug-o-war for the elusive cup...will this be the year the Ambulance Squad bulks up and takes the cup from the Big Indian-Oliverea Volunteer Fire Department? Come find out!

Lastly, we also take the time at 4pm to honor those from our community who have made a lasting impact on our Town and this year, following the devestation of Irene almost one year to the date, the Town is taking the opportunity to recognize all those individuals and organizations that helped during the event and during our recovery. Join us for this special recognition at 4:30 and spend the rest of your night enjoying all that Shandaken has to offer from the Belleayre Music Festival to night-life in all of our Hamlets.
