Two of the Amagansett's most anticipated events of the season are on the calendar this weekend. The Fire Department’s annual chicken barbecue is on Sunday from 2 to 6 p.m. Admission is $30 for adults and $20 for children. This popular event often sells out, so early arrival or advance purchase of tickets is a good idea.
