Friends Academy Invites Surrounding Communities to Celebrate 150 Years at Historic Fall Fair on October 3

New: Food Trucks! Grit Ninja! Permanent Jewelry! Petting Zoo!
LOCUST VALLEY, NEW YORK — Open to everyone, the annual Fall Fair at Friends Academy promises adults and children of all ages a spectacular day of family fun, thrilling rides, diverse culinary offerings, and spirited athletic events on the school’s 65-acre campus.
Held October 3 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the cherished tradition takes on even greater meaning this year as Friends celebrates its historic 150th anniversary.&nbsp;
The carnival portion of the Fall Fair will feature games and rides such as the Zipper, Super Slide, Cliffhanger, Tornado, Happy Swing, Dizzy Dragon, and Round-Up. Ride bracelets will be available for purchase at the Fair or on Friends Academy’s website: <a href="https://www.friendsacademy.org/the-latest/school-events/fall-fair" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.friendsacademy.org/the-latest/school-events/fall-fair</a>.
This year’s Fall Fair features an expanded and exciting lineup of food trucks and booths serving something for every appetite. Guests can enjoy empanadas, BBQ, ice cream, Italian-inspired favorites, Gourmasian, and Caribbean cuisine, as well as classic treats from the Quaker Baker, Friends Fries, and Quenchers.
Throughout the day, families can explore a wide variety of activities, including a free petting zoo and Grit Ninja Obstacle Course. There will also be face painting, a photo booth, airbrush T-shirts and hats, permanent jewelry, henna artistry, hair tinsel, candy sushi, trading cards, and more.&nbsp;
While laughter fills the air at the carnival, the Friends Academy girls’ field hockey team will face North Shore High School at 1 p.m. on the Turf Field behind the school. At 3 p.m., the Friends Academy boys’ soccer team will host Clarke High School on the Turf Field.&nbsp;
On October 3, Friends Academy will also honor the memory of Brian Hom, a track star who was a member of the Class of 2011 and tragically died in a car accident during the spring of his senior year.&nbsp;
The 15th annual Brian Hom Memorial Run &amp; Walk will be held on campus at 8:30 a.m.; this event requires advanced registration and proceeds will benefit the Brian James Hom Scholarship. Established in the spring of 2011, the scholarship honors Friends Academy students who embody Brian’s innate generosity, personal warmth, wonderful sense of humor, and live by his motto, “I am the me I choose to be.”&nbsp;
The Fall Fair will be held rain or shine. For more information, or to register for the Memorial Run &amp; Walk, please visit the Friends Academy website: <a href="https://www.friendsacademy.org/the-latest/school-events/fall-fair" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.friendsacademy.org/the-latest/school-events/fall-fair</a>

North Shore Towers Cinema

The 16th Annual Gold Coast Int'l Film Festival&nbsp;opens with Pierre Monnard's heartwarming dramedy HELLO BETTY - the inspiring true story of Emmi Creola, the visionary advertising pioneer behind Switzerland’s most beloved culinary icon.&nbsp;
Set in 1956 Zurich, the film tells the true story of Emmi Creola (played by Sarah Spale), a talented copywriter who invents the fictional housewife "Betty Bossi" to promote a client's food products in a male-dominated workplace. Betty Bossi eventually becomes a massive national culinary icon, thrusting an overwhelmed Emmi into the public spotlight.
Her newfound fame is exhilarating – but also exhausting. The pressure mounts as Emmi finds herself increasingly torn between the demands of her career and her family.

From petticoats to the Cold War, HELLO BETTY oﬀers a colorful, touching portrait of the 50‘s, told with warmth and gentle humor – and at the same time, tells a story that still feels very familiar to many women today.

Gold Coast Int'l Film Festival asks what happens when a magician's tricks are stolen? Join GCIFF for this illuminating documentary and Q&amp;A with director and Great Neck High School Alum and native Matthew Testa following the screening.
STEALING MAGIC is a true-crime international caper filled with possible espionage, blackmail, cyberattacks and more. Magician Andi Gladwin becomes an unlikely citizen detective for the world of magic when he discovers that an anonymous online source is stealing and selling his fellow illusionists’ tricks, taking him down a rabbit hole that sees him and his ragtag crew of justice-seekers on an exciting global hunt for answers as they search for the internet pirates ruining their businesses.
This documentary is a surprising ride that fully exemplifies the old adage: the truth is stranger than fiction and, to boot, quite entertaining.
"One of the best films of this year's Tribeca Film Festival.”&nbsp;-&nbsp;Rolling Stone
Directed and produced by GREAT NECK natives&nbsp;MATTHEW TESTA and&nbsp;ETHAN SMITH!
