Oscar Winfrey and family invite you to Arden Hill’s weekend-long Fall Festival.

Oscar Winfrey and his wife Lindsay operate the expansive Arden Hill Nursery along Rt. 17 just north of Sloatsburg. When the couple first saw the property their thoughts turned to all of the interesting activities they could use it for — festivals, concerts, holiday parties.

This long Columbus Day weekend, part of the Winfrey’s vision has been put into action.

Arden Hill Nursery is hosting a three-day Fall Festival, complete with petting zoo and pony rides, a pumpkin patch, hot dogs, and different music for each day.  The Winfreys have decorated their nursery and thrown open the doors in warm welcome to all their Sloatsburg neighbors far and wide. The rambling property on a two-acre site at Datar’s Crossing has room for nearly everything from basic garden needs, to mulch, firewood, trees, and fresh garden vegetables.

The Arden Hill Fall Festival runs from Saturday, October 12, through Monday, October 14. Saturday and Sunday will feature a petting zoo and pony rides, from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. There will also be an expansive pumpkin patch, bouncy house and food station serving hot dogs and hamburgers .

Live music includes Dave Dowling on Saturday through 3 p.m. Franklin turnpike plays Sunday, October 13, from 11 a.m. through 3 p.m. And Monday, October 14, features Ray Longchamp, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

If you haven’t visited the rambling nursery, here’s a good opportunity to take a weekend drive, see the changing leaves and stop in for a visit. There’ll be lots to see and do. The family friendly festival will have something for everyone.
