The holidays are arriving six months ahead of schedule at <a href="https://johnscrazysocks.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">John's Crazy Socks</a>, where the company's Main Street retail store is hosting a Christmas in July sale and celebration on Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25.
The event marks one of the first major seasonal celebrations at the store since its grand opening ribbon-cutting in June, and it gives the Huntington Village community another reason to stop into the colorful, mission-driven shop at 328A Main Street.
Sale and celebration, all in one weekend
Throughout the Christmas in July sale, shoppers can expect winter-themed discounts storewide, along with holiday decorations and photo opportunities throughout the store. The celebration builds to two signature events:
<ul>
 <li>Christmas Eve &mdash; Friday, July 24, 6:00 to 8:00 PM: A visit from Summer Santa, Santa Story Time, and a Christmas Carol Sing-Along, along with giveaways, games, and cookies.</li>
 <li>Christmas Morning &mdash; Saturday, July 25, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM: Photos with Santa, a snowball fight, and holiday games and surprises throughout the morning.</li>
</ul>
Both events are free and open to the public. Families are invited to dress the part: pajamas, John's Crazy Socks gear, and Hawaiian shirts are all welcome.
A store built to be a destination
John's Crazy Socks was founded in Huntington in December 2016 by John Cronin, who has Down syndrome, and his father, Mark Cronin. For nearly nine years, the business operated entirely online, shipping socks and gifts around the world. This year, after years of customers asking for a physical location, the company opened its first retail store right in the heart of Huntington Village.
The store was designed to be more than a place to shop. It's a place where customers can meet John Cronin in person, see the company's mission in action, and experience the same colorful, joyful energy that built the brand's following online. 
As one customer put it, &ldquo;I walk in the store and instantly feel happy.&rdquo;
Christmas in July is the store's latest opportunity to bring that experience to life.
Why a summer Christmas
Summer is historically the slowest season for the sock business, a pattern the company has seen since its early years. Rather than wait out the slow months, the team decided to create their own reason for the community to celebrate.
"We know summer is the slowest time of year for a sock business: nobody's thinking about cozy socks at the beach," said Mark X. Cronin, co-founder of John's Crazy Socks. "So, we decided if the calendar wouldn't bring us Christmas, we'd bring Christmas to Huntington ourselves."
John Cronin, the company's co-founder and Chief Happiness Officer, plans to be at the store for both days of the celebration, as he is whenever he isn't traveling. "I love Christmas, and I love our customers," said John. "Why wait until December to have both?"
About John's Crazy Socks
John's Crazy Socks is a mission-driven business built on a simple idea: that people with differing abilities have something extraordinary to offer the world. Since 2016, the company has shipped more than 500,000 packages to 94 countries and donated over $850,000 to charity partners, including Special Olympics New York. More than half of the company's team members have differing abilities. The Huntington Village retail store shares its home with the company's fulfillment center and podcast studio.

Christmas Comes Early to Huntington Village: John's Crazy Socks Store Hosts Christmas in July Sale a

Huntington, NY &ndash; The historic Conklin Farmhouse in Huntington Village will come alive on Thursday, July 18th, as local artist Alex Tric presents the &ldquo;Alex Tric and Friends Art Show&rdquo; at 2 High Street in Huntington. This one-night event is designed for people who seek more than just a gallery visit &ndash; it&rsquo;s a celebration of art, culture, and good vibes that naturally evolves into a lively, sophisticated party.
Set within the character and charm of the Conklin property, the show will feature vibrant, bold artwork by Huntington-based artists including Alex Tric, Edward Acosta, Jason Fusaro, Kurt Beers, Sarah Camhi, and others. Visitors can expect a diverse range of styles and perspectives that reflect both the creative energy and cultural depth of the local community.
The event is being curated to appeal to people who are genuinely interested in arts and culture and who enjoy discovering new work and new ideas in an authentic, relaxed environment. The night is intended to start as an art show, with plenty of time to move through the room, talk with the artists, and absorb the work. As the evening unfolds, the atmosphere will gradually shift into a more energetic gathering where people can continue to mingle, discuss what they&rsquo;ve seen, and enjoy the music.
A carefully selected assortment of wine and beer will be available to complement the experience. In addition, guests will have the rare opportunity to try very refreshing imported lemon beers from Italy, made with real Italian lemons and brought in specifically for this art show. These imported lemon beers are not available anywhere else locally and are intended as a special highlight for attendees looking to try something distinctive while they explore the art and connect with others.
Later in the night, the band &ldquo;Drop The 4&rdquo; will take the evening to another level. Known for their eclectic songwriting and eccentric stage banter, Drop The 4 is recognized for live performances that are both musically engaging and highly entertaining. Their sets keep people dancing, moving, and fully immersed in the energy of the night. The band&rsquo;s presence reinforces the show&rsquo;s evolution from a traditional art event into a memorable cultural gathering.
The &ldquo;Alex Tric and Friends Art Show&rdquo; is an opportunity for artists, entrepreneurs, professionals, and curious newcomers to come together in one space. Attendees can expect honest, unpretentious interactions, a strong sense of community, and a chance to be part of an event that reflects the creative spirit of Huntington.
If you are a fan of art, culture, and good vibes, you should never miss an Alex Tric Art Show.

The mission-driven sock company, founded here in 2016, has come home with a permanent storefront on Main Street
After nearly nine years of shipping happiness to customers around the world, John's Crazy Socks has opened its first retail store right where it all began: in the heart of Huntington Village.
The store at 328A Main Street held its grand opening ribbon cutting on June 25, drawing several hundred community members to celebrate. The crowd was large enough that the ceremony moved outdoors onto the street. State Senator Mario Mattera, Suffolk County Legislators Stephanie Bontempe and Rebecca Sanin, and Town of Huntington officials including Board Member Dr. David Bernardo, Town Clerk Andrew Rea, and Receiver of Taxes Jillian Guthman attended and presented proclamations to co-founder John Cronin.
A Local Story
John Cronin grew up in Huntington. He went to school here. When he finished school in 2016 and meaningful work was hard to find, he came to his father Mark X. Cronin with an idea: let&rsquo;s go into business together. They settled on something personal. John had worn crazy socks his whole life. "They are fun, creative, colorful," John has said, "and they always let me be me."
They opened <a href="https://johnscrazysocks.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">John's Crazy Socks</a> in December 2016 with a simple mission: spread happiness and show what people with differing abilities can do. In their first two weeks, they shipped 452 orders. Nearly a decade later, the company has shipped over 500,000 packages to customers in 94 countries and donated more than $850,000 to charity partners.
Until now, it had all happened online. "We started our business in Huntington and now we have returned to Huntington Village," said Mark X. Cronin at the ribbon cutting. "For years, people have been asking us to open a retail store, and now we have done it."
What You'll Find There
The store at 328A Main Street, located in a courtyard just off the main road, is colorful, fun, and hard to leave without smiling. It carries John's Crazy Socks' full line of designed-and-manufactured socks, including awareness socks that give back to charity partners, along with gifts and accessories.
More than half of the store's team members have differing abilities. The Sock Wranglers, as the team is called, work across both the retail floor and the fulfillment center that shares the building.
John Cronin is in the store when he is not traveling for speaking engagements. For many visitors, meeting John is the moment they remember. One customer at the grand opening put it simply: "Just walking in here makes me happy. All the bright colors, the socks and so many happy people."
Bigger Than a Store
The space at 328A Main Street does more than retail. The building also houses the company's fulfillment center, where orders are picked, packed, and shipped daily, and a newly opened podcast studio.
Next year, John's Crazy Socks plans to open a Job Training Academy at the same location, a program to train people with differing abilities for careers in warehouse and retail environments. It builds on years of school tours and work group programs the company has hosted, with several thousand participants to date.
Huntington Chamber of Commerce Administrator Kelly Smith, who attended the grand opening, called the event "nothing short of magical." Senator Mattera said what many in the crowd were feeling: "We need happiness now more than ever."

Protecting Long Island Yards From Mosquitoes & Ticks 

Mosquito Brothers

On Long Island, enjoying your backyard is not always as simple as it should be. With increasing mosquito activity, growing tick concerns, and more awareness surrounding illnesses like Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, homeowners in Nassau County and Suffolk County are paying closer attention to what may be hiding in their grass, shrubs, and yard edges. That is where Mosquito Brothers comes in. Mosquito Brothers is a veteran-owned Long Island company specializing in professional mosquito and tick control. Our mission is to help families reclaim their outdoor spaces through dependable service, strong communication, and a higher level of care. Unlike large franchise operations, we take a more personal approach, understanding that every Long Island property has its own challenges, from leaf litter and shaded fence lines to dense shrubs, wooded borders, and other hard-to-reach areas where mosquitoes and ticks frequent most. What helps set Mosquito Brothers apart is our commitment to an Integrated Pest Management approach. Rather than relying on a single method, we use a thoughtful, multi-step approach because one treatment style alone can often fall short on Long Island. As one of the few companies in the region offering more extensive tick control methods, we focus not just on treating a property, but on addressing the conditions that allow these pests to thrive. Using professional-grade products and high-powered equipment, we are able to penetrate the protected areas where mosquitoes and ticks commonly rest and hide. At the center of it all is our Care Factor Promise — a commitment to helping protect the people and four-legged loved ones who matter most through a hassle-free, organized, and reliable experience
