On Saturday, July 18th, 2026, volunteers at AYLUS Syosset spent their morning at the CCE Farmers Market. Located on Field 8 of Eisenhower park, the first volunteers arrived as early as 7:30AM to set up tents and tables, prepping the area and helping other vendors before the market opened to the public at 9:00 AM. Throughout the day, volunteers assisted various local vendors selling items such as farm fresh produce, flowers, fresh honey products, cookies, and jams. Finally, the afternoon shift helped wind things down when the market closed at 1:00 PM, assisting vendors and packing away the tables and tents by 2:00 PM.
This weekend was National Ice Cream day! Customers of the market were able to walk around and shop for their fresh ice cream toppings. Three volunteers stationed at the entrance tent welcomed attendees and logged foot traffic for future visitor analysis. Adjacent to them, the kids’ area kept families entertained with activity sheets, toys, and sports equipment, attracting both children and adults. To round out the team effort, extra volunteers walked the market grounds to help carry heavy bags, offer directions, and guide guests to the relocated Taste New York booth.
