Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Playland Closes Season With Special 'Customer Appreciation Day' Deals (patch.com) — Families in Rye still have one more chance to enjoy Playland before the season ends, with a special Customer Appreciation Weekend offering $10 ride wristbands on September 12 and 13. The waterfront park on Long Island Sound will be open from noon to 7 p.m., giving visitors a final opportunity to experience classic rides and the new Scorpios attraction.
2. How Rye Community Helped Ground Zero After 9/11 (myrye.com) — Rye residents rallied after 9/11, forming a human chain from Rye High School to Rye Presbyterian Church to load donations onto a truck bound for Ground Zero, escorted by city police. A local pizza shop sent hot pies, and today the Rye 9/11 Memorial Gazebo quietly honors 15 neighbors lost that day.
3. How to Build a Resilient Landscape with Native Plants (myrye.com) — Rye homeowners get practical tips from native-plant expert Dominique Biondi in MyRye.com's "Going Native" series, focused on making local yards more resilient and wildlife-friendly. She recommends limiting pesticides, letting parts of your yard grow wilder, and choosing plants native to New York to support pollinators and reduce environmental impact.
4. Hacky Sack is Back in a Major Way (ryerecord.com) — Rye students have embraced a full-on hacky sack revival, filling school circles and summer hangouts with the simple, screen-free game. Rye High School even had to set guidelines for when and where to play, while the baseball team uses it to bond before games—and a national footbag supplier says demand has exploded overnight.
