PATTERSON- Putnam’s annual Military Collectible Show attracted people of all ages to the Patterson Recreation Center Saturday for a look back in time.

A variety of historical items, including insignias, medals, uniforms, equipment, swords, knives, daggers, headgear, books, artwork, and antique muzzle-loading guns from the American Revolution to the present day kept browsers busy for hours.

The show was conceived several years ago by Brian Benedict, Putnam’s renowned “Duffle Bag Man.”

Members of the Young Marines, a Westchester based group consisting of children from throughout the Putnam, Westchester, Dutchess, Rockland County Region, visited the fair to experience history in real life
The show was a family affair for the Cruz clan of Brewster with mom Eileen, dad, Gabriel, and sons, Ethan and Aidan dressed for the occasion
