The Wainscott Sewing Society's popular annual rummage sale is set for Saturday at the Wainscott Chapel from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. "Come find your treasure," the society says on its Facebook page. The sale is a fund-raiser to support the upkeep of the 116-year-old chapel.

Ahead of it, the sewing society is looking for donations of household items in good condition. They can be dropped off on Friday from 9 a.m. to noon at the chapel. The number to call to schedule a different time is 631-537-1330.

All leftover rummage sale merchandise will be put out on the curb and marked "free" at the end of the day.

Slow Start at New Gosman’s

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.
