This is just going to be the best Saturday--we'll be spoilt for choice around here. Northport is particularly good at making a party. Why do you suppose that is?
That's a good question: what makes for community joie de vivre? A topic for another day, perhaps. This weekend the party in Northport continues into Sunday, with a second day of Haunted Lighthouse and, up at the small gym at Northport School, a fried chicken dinner from 11-3 to benefit the Northport Promise scholarship program. I think I'll get to the dinner early and have the bookstore open in the afternoon. It is after Labor Day, but it should also be peak color for the season, and the more things there are to do in town, the merrier it is for visitors and residents alike.
