Harvest Fair Photos

I arrived about 3 p.m., after many of the festivities had finished.  This view faces south.

This view faces north!  A few minutes later, we had a shower.

To the left is a "working" Seaford skiff, built about 1904, if I recall the sign correctly.  At the right is a recreational skiff built in 1956 by Paul Ketcham of Amityville, recently restored and purchased by a Seaford resident.  For the time being, both skiffs are displayed next to each other.  A skiff is a shallow, flat-bottomed open boat, a design especially helpful when the tide goes out.
