Smithtown Recreation Department is ready to P-A-R-T-Y. 

 

Pool Party/BBQ has been rescheduled for Thursday, Aug. 6

Smithtown’s 350th Anniversary celebration continues with a pool party and barbeque at the Landing Ave pool Thursday, July 30.  Smithtown’s Recreation Department has been preparing for months for this celebration and barring inclement weather the pool gate will open at 5pm.

When the gate opens 400 residents with reservations will participate in the fun. Recreation Department Superintendent Thomas McCaffery came up with the idea for the pool party. “The response was great. We originally planned for 350 participants but the number of people responding to our announcement forced us to increase the number to 400, the maximum number of people allowed at the site. We still have a waiting list with almost one-hundred names on it.” Said Mr. McCaffery.

The plan is for residents, some who weren’t aware there was a Town pool in Smitthown, to see the facility and to have fun.  There are three pools at the site and they will all be open for the celebration.  According to Mr. McCaffery there will be a bbq sponsored by Sea Crystal Pools and ice cream donated by Lessings.  There will be a DJ, games for the kids and more. 

L-R Doreen Perrino, Joan Courtney, Laurie Fitrakis and Tom McCafferyTom McCaffery’s team has worked closely with the 350 Foundation in planning for the party to make this a fun and memorable event. Because there are things you just can’t control a rain date has been scheduled for August 6. 

Celebrations for Smithtown’s 350th Anniversary have been ongoing since March. The pool party closes out July but not the celebratory events which continue through the end of 2015. On September19th  there will be a fireworks display at Sunken Meadow and on September 26th there will be a parade through Smithtown.
