AYLUS SYOSSET CCE FARMER’S MARKET ON 10/3/2026

On Saturday, October 3rd, 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 day in particular, was National Play Outside day! The activity table was the main attraction as a volunteer was stationed at this location in order to encourage individuals to play around with various sports equipment! Two volunteers stationed at the entrance tent greeted attendees and logged the total number of people at the market. Next to them, the kids’ area kept families entertained with activity sheets, toys, and sports equipment, attracting both children and adults. Since the number of volunteers was tight, volunteers roamed both the activity and information tables in order to compensate for the lack of numbers. On top of that, volunteers aided the vendors with their tents as the wind continuously blew them away.
