  1. Check out Huntington events happening this week. As we head into the first week of March, spring is finally on the horizon. Temperatures will be warming up and that means it's time to get out and see what's going on around town. You can list an event on Patch and add it to the calendar. For only $1 a day, you can promote your event in nearby communities. (Huntington Patch)
  2. Local pets available for adoption: Meet Pepsi, Denali, Sean and more. We have a list for you of all pets that are available now for adoption.

  4. ICYMI: New York State to drop school mask mandate. After a long-debated topic on whether or not kids should be masked in schools, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced she is dropping the mask mandate, effective March 2. Hochul said: "The day has come. We are lifting the statewide mask requirements as of Wednesday." Hochul also stated that New York State will have zero tolerance for those who bully children who still come to school masked. (Patch)

From our sponsor:
Looking for a healthy alternative to that mid-week glass (or three) of wine? Our partners at Betera set out to create beverages that were sophisticated and flavorful enough to drink at cocktail hour but with zero hangover risk. (Their motto is “Drink like there’s tomorrow.”) Betera's drinks are designed by a Michelin-starred chef using natural botanicals — they're lightly effervescent, sippable, refreshingly bitter and at home in a stem glass or in a highball on the rocks.

Betera offers three recipes — Rhubarb-Hibiscus, Elderflower-Lime and Ginger-Orange. We’ve tried all three and loved them equally — we recommend the mixed case as a great place to start. Betera has extended their 15 percent discount on first orders to Daily readers, in appreciation for the enthusiastic response so far. Enter Patch15 at checkout and https://bit.ly/TryBetera.

  • Nextdoor Neighbor, Huntington: "My father who is 88 years young, often writes a letter to Newsday expressing his opinions and sentiments. He was an activist in the 50s and 60s and still is in spirit. Newsday posted his letter in today’s paper!" (Nextdoor)
  • Nextdoor Neighbor, Greenlawn: "Does anyone know what happened on Little Plains Road across from Timber Ridge? The road is closed with a lot of police activity. Looks like they’re looking for spent shells?" (Nextdoor)
