Autumn faire for kids at museum

The Autumn Faire at the South County Museum is set for this Saturday, Sept. 29, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Among the offerings for children is a chance to help pirates hunt for treasure, meet the village smithy, and a chance to try their hand as a printer's devil.

The museum's farm animals, including Rhody, one of the Rhode Island Red roosters, will make appearances throughout the day.

The Penny Candy Store will be open for business. Kids will learn how to make homemade ice cream, and try their hand at cranking the old-fashioned ice cream maker. The Atwater-Donnelly Duo will offer music and games for children of all ages.

Admission and parking are free, but donations will be appreciated.
