IN PRINT: Italian American Festival Takes Over Mercer County Park

Curt Daniels of Islandia, N.Y. based Blue Sky Amusements (The Sun Never Sets on the Fun) sets up on Thursday, September 24, 2009 for the 10th Annual Italian American Festival. Martin Griff / The Times

I woke up with this voicemail early Wednesday morning:

“Spencer Gaffney. This is the godfather. John Scarpati. I hear you want to talk to me. Okay, give me a call.”

Turns out Scarpati is indeed the godfather and founder of one of the largest cultural events in Mercer County. Organizers say that they expect over 100,000 people to visit Mercer County Park this weekend.

The tenth annual Italian American festival will run today from noon to 11 p.m. and tomorrow from noon to 9 p.m.

What’s there, you ask? How about great food, strange cultural exhibitions, and two stages of entertainment. And tons of Italian Americans.
