SUFFERN, NY – Every Thursday people from Ramapo and the surrounding areas gather at the Sal Builione Bocce Court located at Bon-Aire Park in the Village of Suffern. The loyal group of players will play multiple games of bocce ball, and enjoy many laughs. The court is named after Village of Airmont resident Salvatore Builione, who passed away in February of 2006 at 94.

In 1941 Mr. Builione served with the 69th Regiment, New York State Guards and was stationed at Camp Smith. He was President of the Airmont Seniors for 14 years, President of the Ramapo Council of Seniors for three years, Board of Ramapo Consumers Protection for eight years, and The Ramapo Housing Authority for twenty three years.

Builione was also a proud member of the Sons of Italy, the Vincent Linguanti Lodge #2212 and was honored by the Italian Twinning Committee, of which he was a member. He served as a Special Deputy Sheriff of Rockland County for eighteen years. In 1995 he was nominated Rockland County Senior Citizen of the Year.

Before the season starts, the leaders of the club meet with Town of Ramapo Parks and Recreation officials who are very supportive. The Bocce Court Club is primarily responsible for purchasing of the equipment, the Town is very proactive about the up-keep, according to multiple members.

Rockland Report Admin

For five generations, the Davies family has been farming the land at Dr. Davies Farm in Congers — growing produce, welcoming visitors and creating memories that have become part of the community’s fall tradition.

As autumn arrives, the farm once again invites families to enjoy a day filled with classic fall activities, from apple picking and pumpkin picking to hayrides and navigating the corn maze.

Apple picking is available every day from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, visitors can also enjoy hayrides, pumpkin picking, the corn maze and fresh apple cider donuts.

For those looking to extend their visit, Red Barn Cidery offers live music and food trucks every Thursday through Sunday, making it possible to turn a trip to the farm into a full fall outing.

The farm also welcomes organized groups during the week. Special weekday rates are available Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for schools, senior groups and adult daycare programs.

After five generations of farming the land, the Davies family says one of the most rewarding parts of the season is seeing families return year after year — while watching new generations create their own memories.
