Students, Families Enjoy An Evening Of Art

The artwork of more than 1,000 students was prominently displayed at Berner Middle School in the Massapequa School District for the annual grades 6-8 art show on June 5. The gymnasium-turnedgallery was bustling with students and their family members for the evening showcase.

During the day, students from the National Junior Art Honor Society and from several art classes helped set up the exhibit, which featured a sampling of drawings, painting and sculptures. Most of the school was represented with at least one piece of work. All students take art in sixth grade and Foundations in Art in seventh grade. Many students also enroll in Applied Art as their eighth grade fine arts elective. Work was completed

New York State Parks Invites All

To Celebrate 100 Years Of State Parks On Long Island

Family-Friendly Festival To Be Held On June 22 At Heckscher State Park

New York State Parks is celebrating their 100th year, and the Long Island Region is marking the milestone with a festival at Heckscher State Park on Saturday, June 22 from 11am – 3pm. The Centennial Celebration event is titled “Through the Decades: 100 Years of State Parks on Long Island.”

The Centennial Celebration will feature tented booths for each decade from the 1920’s to the 2020’s to recall the joy that State parks on Long Island have provided since 1924. Each booth will include historical photos, a kidfriendly craft, an outdoor game, and information about the parks that were opened to the public in that decade. Reminisce about driving to the parks years ago with classic cars on display.

The New York State Park Police and New York State Park Lifeguards will also have booths showing off their vintage memorabilia. The Montaukett Indian Nation will display items from their “Gone Whaling” exhibit and the Montaukett Women Circle Dancers will perform traditional dance. Partnership tables will also be provided by the Department of Environmental Conservation, The Friends of Connetquot, The Friends of Heckscher, and the Islip Arts Council. The festival includes a variety of family fun entertainment. Voted “Best Family Show” by Entertainer America, Jester Jim will delight

children and families with his unique juggling show. Kids and adults can enjoy free face painting, as well as an inflatable obstacle course and inflatable slide. A few holes of miniature golf will feature iconic landmarks from some of our local parks. Festival goers can even take photos with life-size cutouts of vintage uniformed park workers.

The Jazz Loft’s Equity Brass Band will play live jazz while Swing Dance Long Island provides free dance lessons. Several food trucks will have delicious food and treats for sale including Double D’s Rollin’ Grill, Quina’s Cookin’, All American Wontons, Filthy Pig BBQ, Nomastayvegan, Brother’s Lemonade, and Sunrise Delight.

Fun Ways To Celebrate The Summer Solstice

Summer is a great time to enjoy recreational activities that take advantage of the great outdoors. This year summer arrives on June 20 with the summer solstice, which features the most hours of daylight of any day for the entire year. Celebrants who want to usher in another summer of fun in the sun can embrace these ideas for commemorating the start of summer.

• Watch the sunrise. Get up early and watch the sun come up on the longest day of the year. Then be sure to catch the sunset to enjoy every minute of daylight.

• Host a cookout. Memorial Day, Canada Day and Independence Day get

most of the barbecue glory this time of year. But there’s nothing that says the first day of summer shouldn’t be a reason to gather friends and family for a cookout. June 20 falls on a Thursday this year, so the solstice provides the perfect excuse to take a four-day weekend and celebrate the official arrival of summer.

• Light a campfire. Traditional Mid-summer’s Eve/summer solstice celebrations featured bonfires. Hold on to the tradition by gathering people around a campfire or backyard firepit.

S’mores make the perfect complement to a campfire scene.

• Grab some ice cream. Cool off on the summer solstice by visiting a nearby ice cream shop and indulge in a sundae or triple-decker cone.

• Go on a nature hike. Enjoy the great outdoors with a relaxing hike through a park or nature trail.

• Participate in a beach clean-up. Make a beach trip even more enjoyable by signing up for a clean-up to clear the sand of litter. Organize an impromptu beach clean-up session

either solo or with some like-minded friends.

• Pick fresh fruit. Many berries come into season in the summer. Head to a nearby pick-your-own farm and grab fresh fruit to enjoy right away or utilize your pickings in recipes.

• Plant a flower garden. Clean up garden beds or go to the nursery and grab some colorful annuals to spruce up areas around the yard.

The summer solstice is an opportunity to celebrate the arrival of summer and all the fun that comes with it.
