East Meadow celebrates as a community

Conversation and laughter could be heard throughout Senator Speno Park on June 10 for East Meadow’s annual Community Day celebration. Tents lined the walkway of the park highlighting all of the goods and services that East Meadow has to offer. There was no shortage of activities or entertainment for attendees.

There was popcorn, cotton candy, bagels and more delicious treats for all to enjoy. Familiar favorites included the color run, and the pie eating contest sponsored by Stew Leonard’s. There was a PAL Lacrosse clinic, and Coach Dave Hudzik from St. Raphael’s CYO basketball league helped kids work on their skills. Hudzik, who owns a basketball training company called Mindset, brought his special training skills to Community Day.

There were performances throughout the day by the New York Dancers Studio, Schade Academy of Irish Dancing, and Step N Style Studio. The North Bellmore Fire Department brought their fire safety house to teach children safety. Those walking around got to see beautiful art on display by East Meadow School District students, meet mascots, and say hello to Star Wars Storm Troopers.
