Picnic and Fireworks on the Beach

Some of us are getting together Friday, July 25, 2008 to hang out on the beach by Seaside Johnnies in Rye. If you would like to join us, bring a blanket or chair, food to gnosh on, and a beverage of your preference.
This event has been popular in the past with Wine and Dine Group and I have gone many times and have had a great time.

We are meeting on the beach at 6:30 PM. When you enter the beach, walk to the left. We will be by the lifeguard stand near the jetty. We can watch the Playland fireworks from the beach which starts at 9:15 PM and then decide what to do from there.

Parking at the Seaside Johnnies/Oakland Beach parking lot is $5.

Weather permitting. Check your e-mail on the WineDineguide Westchester Dining and Fun Group website on Friday afternoon after 3 PM to see if the event is cancelled. If you DON'T see a cancellation, the event is still on.
