• This Saturday, Oct. 17 marked the fourth time a series of pro-democracy events known as “No Kings” have been organized throughout the United States. On the East End and throughout the country, events were more muted than in former No Kings rallies, as the national organizers focused on hyperlocal efforts encouraging voters to go to the polls early. On the East End, the largest rally was held in Riverhead Saturday afternoon. See Our Photos.
• Perhaps the most interesting race to watch this election season in Suffolk County is one you won’t see on your ballot. Over the past month, Cutchogue attorney Abigail Field has stood up a write-in challenge against incumbent Republican Suffolk County Clerk Vincent Puleo — garnering enough notice to win her a spot on the Suffolk County Democrats’ list of official candidates.

• Everyone in Greenport was in the Maritime Spirit this weekend for the 36th Annual Greenport Maritime Festival. Staying true to the festival’s commitment to highlighting the nautical heritage of this seaside community, Saturday morning’s parade was headed up by a bevy of sea creatures designed under the guidance of Greenport community art studio VEME Studios and filled with cameos from the East End Seaport Museum’s pirates, Grand Marshal Dave Abatelli decked out as Poseidon, a hula hooping mermaid crew and a roaming Aquaman, with sea shanties wafting over the crowd in harmony, led by Ethel’s Mermen. See Our Photos.
• Today from Noon to 2 p.m., the Southold Conservation Advisory Council and the North Fork Chapter of ReWild Long Island are holding a “Lunch & Learn” and Open House at the Southold Town Hall Pollinator Garden, where they will be on-hand with information on the garden’s native plants, the many benefits of native plants for people and pollinators, and ReWild Long Island’s mission to protect and improve the biodiversity, resilience and health of regional ecosystems through sustainable actions centered on native plants.
