The Hampton Bays Beautification Association would like to thank everyone helping HBBA decorate our hamlet for the holiday season. With their help, we make our community a festive place during this special time of the year.
Thanks to holiday helpers Jack O’Keefe and Merry Warner of Mother Earth Landscaping, V. Allegretta Electric Company and crew, and Tom Maloney of Shinnecock Hardware.
This is our 10th year of decorating, and we have expanded coverage with lighted wreaths, decorated trees, the pergola and lights all along Good Ground Road. We installed an extensive array of tree lighting at all the medians, train station, Ponquogue Ave, post office, rain garden, Main Street, UA Theater, welcome sign, flagpole area and at King Kullen.
Finally, I would like to thank all the wonderful people who answered our Holiday Fund Campaign. Thank you all for helping HBBA make Hampton Bays beautiful this holiday season.
