St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton will hold its annual summer fair on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Offering something for all ages, it will include a magic show and circus acts, face painting, art workshops, pony rides, a petting zoo, a water slide, carnival games, obstacle courses, live music, and, for fashionistas, a designer vintage clothing and accessories sale.

Kids will be entertained by Keith Leaf the Fire Juggler, Wendy the Pipe Cleaner Design Lady, and the band the Popsicles. On the food front, fair- goers can expect hamburgers and hot dogs, clams on the half shell and clam chowder, waffles, cotton candy, fresh cookies and cakes, and ice cream from Mister Softee.

The vintage clothing sale will offer gently worn designer selections, clean, pressed, and at “bargain prices,” donat- ed by “some of the most fashionable women in the Hamptons,” according to the organizers. A portion of the day’s proceeds will be donated to local chari- ties including Maureen’s Haven, which aids the homeless, the Retreat, which helps victims of domestic violence, and soup dinners.

The fair takes place on the church grounds on James Lane. There is no

charge to attend, and bracelets, which will be sold for $4, will allow children to access all the games and activities, with some requiring more than one bracelet.

Montauk Chemists Opens, Minus Pharmacy

Frank Calvo, the longtime pharmacist at White’s Drug and Department Store, which closed on Oct. 31, has opened Montauk Chemists on Main Street and is selling over-the-counter merchandise including vitamins and self-care products. One week after an inspection of the store’s pharmacy, however, he is still awaiting New York State approval to operate it.

Slow Start at New Gosman’s

In some ways, Gosman’s Dock, one of Montauk’s few remaining family-owned and operated businesses until its October 2024 sale, closely resembles the complex of restaurants and shops long revered by locals and visitors alike. In other ways, though, it is markedly different under its new ownership.
