2 » APRIL 26- MAY 2, 2018 LONG ISLANDER NEWS - HUNTINGTON WEEKLY Enjoy nature... This weekend was a beauti- ful opportunity to explore some of the parks and hiking trails that Huntington has to offer. I was one of the hundreds of other of the state park behind the Cold Spring Harbor Library on Saturday after- noon. The many steep elevation changes make for a difficult hike, but the incredible views of the harbor are a just reward. for the effort. I also took my dog to the dog park at Coindre Hall where he could play with the other dogs while I enjoyed the sights, sounds and smells of Hunt- ington Harbor with a magnificent historic chateau as the backdrop. But watch out for wildlife... I was lucky to avoid an accident last night when I sud- denly came face to face with a deer that was standing in the middle of the road. The doe was on the smaller side, but a head on colli- sion with the animal still would have ended badly for both of us. Fortunately I was driving slowly and paying attention to the road so I was able to stop in time for the deer to scam- per into the bushes. My close encounter shows that we continue to share our town with, and its streets, with an ever-growing deer popula- tion. It's important to remember to drive slowly and stay alert when navigating roads though wooded areas, especially at night or around dusk and dawn. Stop and smell the tulips... My favorite event of the year (as you all know, I have many Stretching Those Legs people who ventured out of the XN THEENOW living room and onto the trails rin avtirPmosits \favorite\ events) happens the first Sunday in May each year. Pops of pink and hues of yellow fl © will take over Huntington's ya Heckscher Park on Sunday, May 6 for the Town of Hunt- ington's annual Tulip Festival from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Oh, how I love this day! Spring is in the air, the flowers are at attention, nice and tall, and the shutterbugs come out to play with hopes of taking a photo worthy of win- ning the tulip photo contest. The free festival will have children's activity booths, an art ex- hibit and live performances on the Chapin Rain- bow stage, presented by our friends at the Huntington Arts Council. The winning works of the school art contest organized by the arts coun- cil will also be on display; there will be refresh, ment booths; and a bunch of family activity booths will be set up. I can't wait! And that reminds me... Be sure to take a look at our Home & Garden pull out section in this week's issue! Along with seeing all the pretty colors, I loved reading through the section to pick up some tips for cleaning around the house and learn more about the local housing market.
