August 19-25

Although the summer is coming to a close, Smithtown is still cranking up the heat with these fun summer activities this week.

Before you get the autumn blues, why not try something new and excited to end the summer with a bang! On August 19 or 20, head down to Simply Pilates in Smithtown to try a new way to stay fit, without feeling like you’re working out! Pilates and Barre are fun, but also challenging. There are ways to pay for a single class, as well as paying a monthly/unlimited fee to take as many classes as you’d like! If you want to try pilates, call the studio to make an appointment at 631-979-4278.

On August 21 at the Knox School at 7PM, you and your high school aged child can spend an evening prepping for the SAT’s with world famous author, Dr. Ira Wolf. It is a free event with a discussion and a Q&A period. You do not need to register, but if you would like to save your space, you can pre-register by calling Susan Day-Holsinger at 631-686-1600 ext. 414.

August 22 from 12-2PM is the Developmental Disabilities Institute’s Employment Open House at 99 Hollywood Drive in Smithtown. There are several part time and full time jobs available. By coming to the event, you can guarantee an interview on the spot. If you can not make the event but would still like to be considered for a position, you can email a resume to  HYPERLINK “mailto:jobs@ddiny.org” jobs@ddiny.org.

On August 23, the Abrakadoodle Art Room in St. James is hosting an event for kids who are interested in art. The event begins at 5:30PM. It is $40 for one child, but if you have multiple children, it is $25 for each additional sibling. Food and beverage are included. To register, email  HYPERLINK “mailto:lalbert@abrakadoodle.com” lalbert@abrakadoodle.com or call (631) 366-4ART.

August 24 is the Mommy & Me Spa day at 127-C East Main St in Smithtown. It is $25 for one adult and $20 for one child under 18. You may choose between several treatments that they offer. If you’d like to attend the event, you must purchase a ticket in advance! Space is very limited, and tickets will not be sold at the actual event.

August 25 is the last day to see “Pinkalicious” at Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts at 11AM. It is a children’s theatre production, but all ages are welcome to come see the musical based off the popular children’s book written by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann. The story is silly, entertaining and teaches valuable lessons on the power of self-control and moderation.
