What a Perfect Night

On Friday evening August 5^th, celebrating its 25^th Anniversary the Hampton Bays Beautification Association held its 13^th Annual Free “Concert Under the Stars” featuring “The Fabulous Grease Band” at Ponquogue Beach in Hampton Bays. The evening was perfect, warm and breezy with a beautiful sunset, as thousands sat overlooking the bay and the ocean listening while others danced to the wonderful sounds of the band.

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. I would also like to thank the Hampton Bays Beautification Association volunteers who put this wonderful event together. Chairmen Jack O’Keefe and John Zuccarelli and their great team of Greeters, Bucket Brigade, our Sign Team, Peg Campbell and Marilyn Mallon at the Membership Table and Molly Doyle, Photographer. Without our volunteers and the financial help of the community, this wonderful event would not be possible.Look for the pictures on our web site next week. www.hbba.net.
