SAND CITY SOUTH HOSTS LINDENHURST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Lindenhurst Chamber of Commerce was recently treated to a special tasting and tour of Sand City South Brewing Company, located at 150 South Wellwood Avenue, Lindenhurst.  The event was held in honor of the launch of Sand City’s newest brew, “It Takes A Village” – “a beer that seeks to focus on the idea that when the tide rises, all boats in the harbor rise.”  The tour was very informative on how Sand City brews beer, and how they put beer into the cans.

Village Administrator Douglas Madlon said, “Sand City Brewery has become a popular destination for socializing and fun in the heart of our revitalized Lindenhurst Downtown.”

Pictured here on the tour are Sand City South staff, and Lindenhurst Chamber of Commerce members.

LINDENHURST RECOGNIZES DAVID CROWE

March is a great time of year when we are all Irish, and one of the best ways we celebrate is with a St. Patrick’s Parade.

David Crowe, Proprietor of the Belfast Gastropub, was recognized by the Lindenhurst Village Board with a day in his honor – St. Patrick’s Day, March 17^th, 2022 – for conceiving the idea, and organizing the first-ever St. Patrick’s Parade in the nearly 100-year history of the Village.  Located at 101 North Wellwood Avenue, the Belfast Gastropub opened its doors last year, bringing Irish food, drink, music and tradition to the Village Downtown.

Mayor Michael Lavorata said, “I am so grateful to David Crowe and the rest of the Lindenhurst St. Patrick’s Parade Committee – RJ Renna, Kevin McCaffrey, and Katie Schrader – for organizing this fun, family event, celebrating Irish heritage, and the Patron Saint of Ireland, St. Patrick, in the Village of Lindenhurst.”

The Lindenhurst St. Patrick’s Parade will step off at 11:00 AM, on Saturday, March 26^th, from Fireman’s Park, traveling west on Hartford Street, turning south on Wellwood Avenue, and proceeding to the Middle School.  Come out and enjoy a day of Irish fun!
