June is rolling in like a cool breeze after a sweltering day, signaling the end of the academic grind for many. Yep, school’s wrapping up, and you can practically taste the freedom in the air. No more lectures, no more exams—just the sweet promise of summer stretching out before us.

Have a look at a few events and activities in our community and locally: 

To celebrate the life of Paul H. Furk, his family and friends are having a barbecue and gathering in remembrance of Paul. Join them at the Stony Brook Hunting Clubhouse on Brook Road in Cochecton/Lake Huntington, NY on Saturday, June 8 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The clubhouse is a few miles past Paul’s house on Brook Road.

The Lake Huntington Lake Association is holding a raffle with the proceeds going toward the well-being and care of the lake. The drawing will take place on Saturday, July 6. For more information, including where to purchase tickets, visit www.instagram.com/lakehuntingtonny.
