Local Event: Jay Day - Fall Family Festival

Westchester County

Jay Day - Fall Family Festival

Jay Day is our classic fall family festival held annually at the 23-acre award-winning Jay Estate with offerings for everyone!...

Cat people are a special breed. They plan their day around a nap schedule that isn't theirs. And they know the best seat in the house belongs to whoever has whiskers.
At <a href="https://wahooomarket.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Wahooo Market by John</a>, the gift shop at 328A Main Street in Huntington Village, cat lovers have plenty to purr about. The store's sock wall is stocked with cat socks that are colorful, a little silly, and impossible to look at without smiling.
Wahooo Market is run by Huntington's own John and Mark X. Cronin, the father-and-son team who founded <a href="https://johnscrazysocks.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">John's Crazy Socks</a>. They opened the shop on a simple mission: make people happy and show what people with differing abilities can do. More than half of their team has a differing ability. The store officially took on the Wahooo Market name on October 1 with a parade through the Village, cake, and ice cream.
Socks That Help Long Island Rescue Cats
Two of the store's cat socks give back close to home. <a href="https://wahooomarket.com/products/animal-rescue-cat-stripes-socks" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">The Animal Rescue Cat Stripes Socks</a> and the <a href="https://wahooomarket.com/products/home-is-where-rescue-cat-is-crew-socks" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Home Is Where My Rescue Cat Is Crew Socks</a> are Charity Socks. 10% of every pair sold goes to North Shore Animal League America in Port Washington, helping more cats and kittens find homes.
The Animal Rescue Cat Stripes Socks feature blue and cream stripes, cartoon cats chasing balls of yarn, and the word LOVE on the toes. One customer sent a pair to her brother, noting that he and his cat "adopted one another." The Home Is Where My Rescue Cat Is socks have earned five stars from every customer who reviewed them. One shopper who lives with two cats reports that her cats like rubbing against them.
A Sock for Every Cat Mood
Cats can be sleepy, mysterious, chatty, and mischievous, sometimes all before breakfast. Wahooo Market has a sock for each mood:
<ul>
 <li><a href="https://wahooomarket.com/products/cat-loaf-womens-crew-socks" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Cat Loaf Women's Crew Socks</a> celebrate the classic pose: paws tucked, tail wrapped, a perfect fuzzy loaf of contentment.</li>
 <li><a href="https://wahooomarket.com/products/black-cat-crew-socks" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Black Cat Crew Socks</a> show a sleek black cat in a long stretch on a deep red background, a fashion statement for October and beyond.</li>
 <li><a href="https://wahooomarket.com/products/meow-cat-crew-socks" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Meow Cat Crew Socks</a> feature plump, comfortable cats lounging on burgundy, with "meow" sprinkled everywhere.</li>
 <li><a href="https://wahooomarket.com/products/devilish-cats-womens-crew-socks" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Devilish Cats Women's Crew Socks</a> let frisky felines show their devilish side in bold red. They're a natural for Halloween, though cat people know mischief is a year-round sport.</li>
</ul>
Cat socks run $13.99 to $15.99 a pair. With Halloween around the corner and the holidays close behind, they make an easy gift for the cat person on your list. Everyone has one.
Stop In or Shop Online
Shoppers can see the cat socks, along with the rest of the store's colorful sock wall, at <a href="https://wahooomarket.com/products/devilish-cats-womens-crew-socks" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Wahooo Market by John</a>. We're at 328A Main Street in the heart of Huntington Village. Look for the sign out front, come through the gate, walk down the short path, and say hello to John and the team. Beyond socks, the shop carries apparel, jewelry, home items, cookies, candy, and gifts, all made by people with differing abilities or companies that employ them.
