FOSH Garage Sale draws thousands.
Plainfield's busy weekend draws to a close today with the 'Maidens in May' house tour, and the wrapup of the annual FOSH (Friends of Sleepy Hollow) garage sale.
Those who need a booster shot for their bargain cravings should check out the giant Flea Market at St. Mary's Church, which benefits the community through the parish's St. Martin de Porres organization.
You may be torn between two pleasant options for ending this glorious feast of a weekend: the 'Maidens in May' house tour (with reception) from 2-5 in the afternoon, or the Crescent Singers' 'Oldies but Goodies' concert of 1920s and 1930s hits from a turbulent time in America's history.
Whatever you choose, you will be delighted with the wonderful weekend spent at home in Plainfield.
