Young And Looking For Something To Do? Week Of August 4 - 11

By Cristen Feeney

August 4-11

August is well underway, and while you may be dreading the end, there is still plenty of summer-fun for everyone of all ages, this month.

On August 4 from 10am-5pm, there is a garage sale at 43 Aberdeen Rd in Smithtown. There are items being sold such as a television, a wall oven and audio and video equipment. Head down and see if you can find something you’ve been looking for. This is a great and inexpensive way to furnish a dorm room.

On August 5th, Ralph’s Ices on Maple Avenue in Smithtown is holding their Give-Back night in support of Smithtown Children’s Foundation. If you buy an ice from 5-11pm, 20% of your purchase will go to the Children’s Foundation.

Also on August 5th, if you or anyone you know is undergoing or has been treated for cancer, there is a yoga class at 6pm at Stony Brook University Cancer Center to celebrate your health and help you feel good about your body. 

 August 7th, Nesconset Swirls and Twirls will be hosting a fundraiser for the Nesconset Downtown Revitalization Project from 11am-11:30pm. Text “OURTOWN” to 516-279-3799 and get 10% off your purchase. All proceeds during event hours go to the project.

If you’re a teen in grades 6-12 looking to help the Smithtown Library raise funds to benefit the library and get some community service credit, there is an opportunity to volunteer on August 8 at the Summer Concert.

 On August 11th, there is an Open Mic Night at Mills Pond House Gallery for anyone who is looking to get some music out there. Performers can come at 1pm and bring 3 songs to share with the group. It’s a great way to have a fun afternoon and promote yourself as a musician.
