Every so often. This was the second one.

There’s also Sawmill Day which allows the same thing as well as much more which is the second Saturday in May (unless there are changes between now and then).

Also note that the Alger-Sullivan Historical Society meets every third Tuesday of the month (as in 16 August, for example) at 6 PM at the Leach House museum, same location.
