There will be a fund-raiser on Sunday from noon to 9 p.m. at the Clubhouse for Larry's Fire Safety House, an effort in conjunction with the East Hampton Village Foundation to build and operate a mobile trailer to teach kids and adults about fire safety using safe but realistic simulations. Initially planned for Saturday, the event was moved to Sunday due to weather.

Tickets for adults and kids 17 and up cost $50 and include a round of mini golf; tickets for children under 17 cost $25 and include mini golf and a $15 arcade card. There will also be face-painting, ring-toss games, and other fun for the kids, and drink specials for the grownups.

There will be live music by Two Shoes at noon, Josh Brussell at 2, the Steve Tekulsky Band at 4, and Hello Brooklyn at 6. Full details can be found online at clubhousehamptons.com. The Clubhouse is at 174 Daniels Hole Road.

First East Hampton, Then the World

In the summer of 2011, Alex Esposito and James Mirras addressed a specific need with Hamptons Free Ride, an electric shuttle service that ran in a fixed loop through East Hampton and from parking lots in town to Main Beach. Since then, a “hometown side project” has developed into Circuit, an all-electric, on-demand “micro-transit” solution in more than 40 cities and towns.

WordHampton Moves Downtown

The public relations firm WordHampton has long had its finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the East End business community. That comes with the job. And now, with a new office overlooking Park Place in East Hampton Village, it is part of that pulse in a way that was not quite as tangible from its former headquarters in Springs.

Sag Harbor Rejects Proposed Tree Settlement

The case of Augusta Ramsay Folks, an 81-year-old accused of cutting down two trees on Meadowlark Lane in Sag Harbor in June of last year — in violation of the village’s new tree-protection law — was back in court on July 8, when a settlement proposed by Ms. Folks was rejected by the village and then withdrawn by her attorney.
