What a Perfect Night On Friday evening August 5th, celebrating its 25th Anniversary the Hampton Bays Beautification Association held its 13th Annual Free “Concert Under the Stars” featuring “The Fabulous Grease Band” at Ponquogue Beach in Hampton Bays.

We would like to thank the Town of Southampton for co-Sponsoring this event. Allyn Jackson, John Erwin and Chris Bean and the entire crew of the Parks and Recreation Department did a really commendable job. Also, kudos to Southampton Town Human Services for the shuttle busses, Town of Southampton Highway Department, Hampton Bays Volunteer Ambulance, Hampton Bays Volunteer Fire Department and the Southampton Town Police Department for the extraordinary job they did.
