The fair is being sponsored by the Hawthorne Fire Department and the Thornwood-Hawthorne Chamber of Commerce.

“There had been talk for years” about holding a Mount Pleasant Day,” Chamber of Commerce President Aimee Nichols said last week. The intent of the event is “to bring the community together,” she said.
Town Supervisor, Carl Fulgenzi applauded the efforts being made to put on this year’s event. Fulgenzi said he was ”proud of the joint efforts of the Hawthorne Fire Department and the Thornwood-Hawthorne Chamber of Commerce to once again host Mount Pleasant Day in Hawthorne. It creates a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together to share food, fun and music with family, friends and neighbors.”
