Celebrate Independence Day the traditional way with patriotic programs, celebrations and American food. Fun, family-friendly events are planned for both days. At noon on Saturday, a vintage baseball game will be played, featuring the Flemington Neshanock vs. the Elkton Eclipse. The game will be played with authentic replica equipment and uniforms-and no gloves! Official 1873 baseball rules used by the National Association of Professional Baseball Players will be applied. A pre-game discussion to familiarize spectators with vintage methods will be conducted by team captains with a question and answer period. The nine-inning game will begin after a recitation of “Casey at the Bat” by Bradley Shaw. Village admission is required to attend the baseball game. On Sunday the 5th, there will be patriotic programs held throughout the day at the Village Gazebo. The Story of Old Glory will be presented on history and tales of the American Flag along with speeches and historical readings. At 2pm, the John Walter Cape Community Band will perform American heritage tunes. The Country Store will be open throughout the weekend, featuring specialty items and handmade wares.
