A three-day open house at Marders nursery and gift shop in Bridgehampton, decorated in spectacular fashion, is sure to get visitors in the holiday spirit.

Folks from the Southampton Animal Shelter will be on site on Friday and Sunday at noon with adoptable dogs — a puppy for Christmas? — and the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons will have cats in need of forever homes at Marders on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.

And there’s more: Volunteers with the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center will introduce some of its resident birds of prey on Friday and Sunday from 1 to 3. The Steve Shaughnessy Trio plays Friday and Saturday at 1 and on Sunday at 2, and the Genesis Gospel Choir will be in the house Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon.

Villages

Paddle, Hike, and Bike Northwest

The East Hampton Trails Preservation Society will take on Northwest Woods by foot, bike, and kayak or paddleboard this weekend. Saturday brings two choices at 10 a.m.: a three-mile walk in the Grace Estate Preserve loop or a 25-mile bike ride from Cedar Point County Park. On Sunday, it’ll be an Alewife Brook and Cedar Point paddle.

A Junkyard in Low-Earth Orbit

In a month when Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire by taking SpaceX, his satellite and space flight company, public, it’s worth asking, do you know what might happen if you were hit by a fleck of dried paint moving at 17,000 miles per hour?
