Frazee House Harvest Festival 2019
Harvest Fest 2019 was held on Saturday, October 19, 2019, at the historic Frazee Farmstead. The annual event is spearheaded by Fanwood Scotch Plains Rotary Club volunteers and other community members. It benefits “Save the Frazee House” an effort to complete the renovation of the historic house located on the site of the event.
A record crowd came out to enjoy the beautiful weather and many family friendly activities: live music, pony rides, a petting zoo, food trucks, face painting, pumpkin tossing and bowling, a haunted trail, and a costume contest, plus, new for this year, bouncy house, water game and more games for all ages.
There was also “The Great Pumpkin Patch,” where pumpkins were sold at the Frazee site.
“October 2019 could be one of the most significant milestones for Aunt Betty Frazee since she stepped onto her porch to defy the British on their march past her house in 1777,” said Andy Calamaras, president of the Rotary Frazee House committee. The committee, with the support of the Township of Scotch Plains, has spearheaded a 12-year project to rescue the house’s structure to the American Revolutionary period – and the external renovation is nearly complete.
