Fall festival at Centerport beach house

Senior citizens in the Town of Huntington are invited to a Fall Festival tomorrow from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the senior citizen beach house in Centerport.

Among the activities planned are a picnic, dancing, bingo, tap dancers, a sidewalk sale of art by senior citizens, and a “charity workshop” involving handmade goods, according to Anne Carballeira, the program supervisor and Beach House manager. The organizers have also set up a raffle with 18 prizes, including a $75 gift certificate at a hair and nail salon, wine and flowers.

Apples have been donated by Richter’s Orchard, and the Town Council will give out free sundaes. A hot dog and iced tea can be purchased for $1, with a cup of coffee going for 25 cents. The event is being run by the town’s Human Services Department, Senior Citizen Division.

The Senior Citizens Beach House and Cottage are located at Centerport Beach Beach and are opened Sunday through Friday from June to September. The facility, which offers recreational, social and exercise programs that include dancing, fitness, games and arts and crafts, also serves lunches and early-bird dinners throughout the year.
