Happy New Year.
I saw a very clever display in Orient on Route 25 where a farmer put a small Christmas tree in the back of a mini-tractor. It was illuminated at night and very striking. On Oregon Road in Cutchogue, another farmer had an inflatable Santa driving a large tractor. Also very clever.
Did you see the work that went into the corner house on Lakeside and Morris in Farmingville? I remember looking at it here. And they donate the money they receive to a neo=natal unit.
Remeber this is November folks and get out and vote!!!
