Celebrating Baldwin's big day
[Photo gallery]
As the sun began to set on Saturday night, I found myself in a familiar trail of cars headed towards Baldwin Park to catch the 17th Annual Baldwin Day celebration. At the gates, smiling, orange-vested officials directed drivers and pedestrians away from caution-taped areas and towards safe parking and bring-your-own-blanket picnic style seating for the
evening’s festivities.

American Legion observes Law and Order night
[Photo gallery]
Baldwin American Legion Post 246 held its annual Law and Order Night at their headquarters on Grand Ave. over the weekend.
The event is held to show appreciation for the unsung, and frequently unpaid, people who make our communities livable: law officers, firefighters, teachers and other community members who give unselfishly of themselves on a daily basis.
Post 246 recognized members of the Baldwin Fire Department, the Nassau County Police Department, the New York State Police and the United States Coast Guard at this year’s celebration.
