Save the date!

The Music of Christmas at Meadow Croft
 Saturday and Sunday, December 6th and 7th, 2014
Noon to 4pm
Admission: $5 for adults and $3 for seniors & children age 4-12.
Not suitable for children under 4 years of age

The Bayport Heritage Association and the Suffolk County Department of Parks invite the public to their annual Christmas at Meadow Croft event.

Meadow Croft is the 1891 estate of John E. Roosevelt and family. The house will be decorated in a Victorian/Edwardian motif with beautiful wreathes, poinsettias and greenery, magnificently reminiscent of a hundred years ago.
Reflecting the theme of “The Music of Christmas” musical selections will be played on the original Roosevelt grand piano filling the house with seasonal music.

·      Upstairs, special exhibits will be on display for public enjoyment.
·      Hot chocolate and cookies will add to the coziness of the occasion.
·      St. Nicholas, the Dutch version of Santa Claus, will be there to look up individual children’s names in his ledger. He’ll check to see who’s been ‘naughty and nice’ in 2014.
·      All decorations will be raffled off.

For more information, please contact:

Patchogue Boat Parade

The town of Patchogue has an annual Boat Parade for the holidays. The big controversy is whether to call it a "Holiday Parade" or the "Christmas Parade." You just can't make everyone happy!

It was a nice night to watch the boats go by with spring-like weather.

We took a ride to Brooklyn to see the much talked-about Christmas decorations. Some houses are decorated where every shrub, lamp post and even the lawn are covered with lights. Some homes have signs stating that they were decorated by professional "Christmas Decorators."

Patchogue Parade

We went to see the Patchogue Christmas Parade last night!
Boats are decorated for the holidays and float up the Patchogue River with Santa in the last boat.
Grucci Fireworks were an added bonus!
Wonderful!
There were some great entries and it seemed that everyone had fun.
People were getting into the holiday spirit!
