There will be a blood drive organized by the New York Blood Center on Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Bridgehampton School gym. One lucky donor could win $1,500 worth of shopping at Walmart or Target, and second and third prizes will also be offered as part of the center's "thank-fall sweepstakes."
Walk-ins will be welcomed, but appointments are preferred by calling 1-800-933-BLOOD, visiting nycb.org, or contacting Marie Bouzos-Reilly at the school. The phone number is 631-537-0271.
The Ladies Village Improvement Society’s annual fair happens on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and this year’s “is bigger than ever,” the society says. Not only will the carousel be back, but the Playland area for kids will be expanded. There will be face painting, a roving magician, a bubble artist, and pony rides for the little ones.
Frank Calvo, the longtime pharmacist at White’s Drug and Department Store, which closed on Oct. 31, has opened Montauk Chemists on Main Street and is selling over-the-counter merchandise including vitamins and self-care products. One week after an inspection of the store’s pharmacy, however, he is still awaiting New York State approval to operate it.
In some ways, Gosman’s Dock, one of Montauk’s few remaining family-owned and operated businesses until its October 2024 sale, closely resembles the complex of restaurants and shops long revered by locals and visitors alike. In other ways, though, it is markedly different under its new ownership.
