Loretta Orion, a retired anthropology professor, author of two books, and former French teacher who developed the gardens at the Home, Sweet Home Museum in East Hampton Village, died on Monday at home in Amagansett. She was 77 and had been in declining health. An obituary will appear in a future issue.
The Clamshell Foundation’s 35th annual Sandcastle Contest in Amagansett brings out the ephemeral creativity.
“Ticknology,” a discussion with experts, will be held at the Bridgehampton Community House on Wednesday from 3 to 5 p.m., courtesy of the Perfect Earth Project.
