But first, today's weather:

Fog in the a.m.; mostly sunny. High: 67 low: 50.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Huntington who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Huntington Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top four stories today in Huntington:

1. Learn about critical care paramedic and Northport local hero Michael Sloggatt Jr. We've launched our new initiative highlighting local heroes, and Michael was nominated by his father, Michael Sloggatt Sr. See what makes Sloggatt a local hero in the link. (Patch)
2. Check out the Huntington Police Blotter. See all crimes and incidents from Oct. 19 through Oct. 29. in the Town of Huntington. All charges are accusations and do not signify guilt. If you have information on a crime, call Suffolk County Crimestoppers at 1-800-221-TIPS. (Huntington Patch)
3. Nest On Main In Northport celebrates five years in business. The home goods boutique is located at 135 Main St. and the business is set host a weekend of raffles, prizes and more. "We are so grateful to be here at the five-year mark," owner Donna Moschella told Patch. "It means so much to all of us at Nest to have been so warmly embraced by our amazing and loyal Northport community, and beyond. With the high rate of small businesses failing within the first five years, we are so incredibly grateful to be surviving and thriving at the five-year mark."(Patch)
