Dear Long Islander,
We've made it halfway through January, but not without all sorts of ups and downs! From shockingly cold weather and snow storms, to warmer, sunny days light today, the month thus far has been unique to say the least. This weekend we've got a fair possibility of snow or rain, however the chances to have fun are abundant! This weekend, there are a variety of great events happening, including concerts, family fun for all ages, indoor sporting group outings including a bowling for pets event, and much, much more! Don't let the cold weather fool you - there is plenty of red hot entertainment here on Long Island this weekend, and all winter long!

Hot Off the Presses
Long Island Honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
 Events & Memorials to Honor & Celebrate the Life of Dr. King
Martin Luther King, Jr. will be forever memorialized on January 20th for his contribution to the civil right movement. He is best known for his "I Have a Dream Speech" where he proclaimed his dream for a nation where people can be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. Sadly, while still rallying for civil rights, King was assassinated in 1968. King's achievements were honored officially in 1983 where January 20th became a federal holiday; this day is close to King's birthday which is on January 15th. Over the Long Weekend, locals will be honoring the late Dr. King with a variety of events and memorials.
