The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons will hold its next Pet Food Pantry event on Jan. 16.
Donations of food, for both cats and dogs, will be welcomed, and ARF will distribute pet food to community members needing it. Both donations and distribution will take place on that day, a Saturday, from noon to 3 p.m. at 124 Daniels Hole Road in Wainscott.
Bags and cans of wet and dry food or treats must be unopened. Social distancing will be observed, and ARF has asked that all visitors wear masks.
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.
