RYE BROOK, NY (October 7, 2025) — Rye Brook residents can enjoy a variety of community activities from October 6 to 11, including a new culinary class, a pumpkin patch, a seed swap, and the start of annual babysitting classes, according to local announcements.
On October 8 at 5:30 p.m., the AJP Community Center at 32 Garibaldi Place will launch the “Rye Brook Culinary Experience,” an adult-only series of cooking and baking classes. The first session, “Apple Pie Baking,” allows participants to leave with their own assembled, unbaked apple pie, with all ingredients provided. Pre-registration is required due to limited space for this hands-on event. “This class offers a fun and supportive environment to learn new culinary skills,” a community center spokesperson said. More information is available online.
On October 11 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Pine Ridge Park will host the “Rye Brook Pumpkin Patch.” Residents can purchase pumpkins priced at $8 for small, $10 for medium, and $12 for large, while supplies last. The event includes free games, activities, and a limited supply of apple cider donuts for purchase.
Also on October 11, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the Port Chester-Rye Brook Public Library will hold a “Seed Swap” organized by the Rye Brook and Port Chester Sustainability Committee. Attendees can exchange native seeds and have gardening questions answered by committee members.
Starting October 6, the Rye Brook Fire Department will offer its annual babysitting classes for children in 7th grade or older. Held Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. through October 27, the classes cover fire safety, first aid, rescue breathing, infant care, extinguisher use, and more. Instructors include firefighters, law enforcement, EMS paramedics, a physician or nurse, and school instructors. “This is a great way for children interested in babysitting to be prepared and gain important knowledge,” a fire department representative said. Registration details are available on the village website.
