Dear Residents,
From the Desk of
TIMOTHY C. HUBBARD
Riverhead Town Supervisor
September, 2024
Whether it was an ice-pop on a blistering day, an afternoon with friends at one of our local beaches, or a family vacation out-of-town, I hope you Summer was filled with simple delights and lasting memories.
Summer is fading and Fall is on the horizon, evidenced by the crisp air in the early morning. This is always a welcomed change for me because I love the fall season and gladly welcome the cool air, changing colors and the bounty of the harvest season.
The Fall season also means the return of beloved events with the Riverhead Recreation Department and the introduction of new events, all of which are outlined in the 2024 Fall Brochure.
The Town of Riverhead Recreation Department has once again outdone themselves in putting together an incredible lineup of exciting, family-oriented activities for everyone to enjoy and I hope you will consider participating.
Here are some of the things to look forward to:
Annual Favorites
• Trunk or Treat at Stotzky Park on Friday, October 25th;
• Turkey Trot – 1 mile walk/run – Saturday, November 23rd;
New and Exciting
• Halloween Costume Swap – Sunday, September 1st through Monday, September 30th
• 3v3 Tournament for high school students at our Horton Avenue Park Courts
– Columbus Day, Monday, October 14th
• Basketball Shooting Competition for kids – Wednesday, December 4th
Enjoy the Fall season and Happy Harvest!
Sincerely,
Timothy C. Hubbard Riverhead Town Supervisor
