The Essence of Fire Island

This past weekend the Friends of Fire Island National Seashore (FFINS) held their first ever "The Essence of Fire Island" art exhibition. There were 34 artists that entered and from that 18 pieces of artwork were selected as winners to be published in a FFINS 18 month calendar.

The judges were Susan Bela - Publisher of Great South Bay Magazine, Dave Hensen - President of Friends of Fire Island National Seashore and Chris Soller - Superintendent of Fire Island National Seashore.

The calendar is a fundraiser for Friends of Fire Island National Seashore. You can purchase the $15 calendar starting June 5th at the Sailor's Haven Gift Shop, Watch Hill Gift Shop and Wilderness Visitor Center at Smith Point Beach. FFINS is also accepting pre-orders of the calendar now. Forms are at the Watch Hill Ferry Terminal in Patchogue.

All the artwork will be on display and available for purchase until May 31st at the new Watch Hill Ferry Terminal, 160 West Avenue in Patchogue. Until Memorial Day weekend, the ferry terminal is open on the weekends from 1pm - 4pm. Go see the artwork and buy a calendar, including a photograph taken by this Blogger - "A Fall Day at Talisman Beach".

Thomas the Train wants to play with you!

Thomas and his friends are having a play date at Toys R Us stores on Saturday, April 17th from 11am - 1pm. Long Island Toys R Us stores are listed here. Call to confirm that the store closest to you is participating.

There will be Thomas story time, games, trivia, coloring and free gifts. The play date is for children 3 years old and older. Giveaways are limited to one per child, while supplies last. Parental supervision is required at all times during the play date.

Mega Block Thomas & Friends Busy Day at the Quarry Play Set will be on sale on April 17th only. Here is a $5 off coupon.

This Examiner has gone to these events in the past and would suggest getting there a bit early because it will get crowded. Also be prepared for the store to have Thomas toys on display for sale. So your child may go into the "Mom I want that" mode. If you don't mind the chaos, your child will enjoy a great afternoon with Thomas the Train!
