The Village of Lynbrook hosted its annual Patriots Weekend the day before Memorial Day in Greis Park. Astoria Federal Savings sponsored the event.
Starting with a Masking of the Colors, John DiCaro sang the national anthem. The day’s schedule included the mayor’s picnic, a performance by Lynbrook High School’s Jazz Band, Dance Studio and USO Girls by Plaza, and a special dinner, sponsored by Atria, served in the veterans’ VIP tent.
In the evening, Thomas Luckert and Long Island Banjo provided the entertainment, followed by a softball game and spectacular centennial fireworks.
It was a most memorable, Memorial Day weekend in Lynbrook.
