Dear Long Islander,
 
With this weekend we welcome June, and what looks to be a sunnier forecast than the past few weeks have brough us, and it feels like Long Island is finally beginning to warm up. There's plenty of outdoor fun to enjoy this weekend to welcome the warmer weather - from craft shows and main street days, to tours through local parks - there's something for everyone happening this weekend on Long Island. So get out there, and make the most of the beautiful weather headed our way this weekend - not to worry, we've got the scoop right here on how to do just that!
Smithtown Festival Day Comes to Main Street This Sunday! 
Sunday, June 2nd from 9AM - 5PM, Come & Join the Fun!
This Sunday, join the Smithtown Chamber of Commerce for their 25th Annual Festival Day - celebrating the town of Smithtown all day long! There will be crafts, rides, games, a wide variety of food and vendor booths, and family fun all day long on Main Street in Smithtown. If you've got a passion for Street Fairs and you'll be in the area, this is certainly one you won't want to miss - after a rainy week, Sunday is supposed to bring us a nice break with warm weather, so why not go out and enjoy the fun? Be sure to stop by the LongIsland.com Booth to say hi, and win some great prizes!

Hot Off the Presses
Getting Your Body Beach Ready For the Summer
Enjoy a Weekend's Worth of Fun with Friends & Family
Memorial Day weekend is supposed to be the unofficial start to summer.  This year Mother Nature had us in sweatshirts rather than swimsuits.  We were luckier than those in upstate New York and Vermont who got close to 3 feet of snow.  Killington offered free skiing over the long weekend.  But real summer weather will be arriving this week. As we embark on these sunny days equipped with sunscreen, beach towels, and the seasonally appropriate white wardrobe...Is your body ready to step onto the beach or go poolside?
