FOR IMMEDIATE “seal” RELEASE
Two By Sea
The Riverhead Foundation will be releasing a harbor seal and a harp seal on Saturday, March 22, 2008 at 12 noon at the Ponquogue Bridge in Hampton Bays. This is an excellent opportunity to expose children to the wildlife that is found right here on Long Island. We encourage you to bring cameras, video cameras and posters to celebrate this joyous and heart warming occasion. Please also consider bringing donations of bleach as a part of our monthly wish item program. Please call the Riverhead Foundation’s office at (631) 369-9840 for more information.
Directions:
The seals will be released under the Ponquogue Bridge in Hampton Bays. Take Sunrise Highway to Old Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays (Make a left on to Old Montauk Highway). Go through the village until you get to the light by Tony’s Fusion Express & make a right onto Ponquogue Ave. Go straight until you come to a stop sign. Make a left onto Shinnecock Rd. At the second stop sign make a right onto Foster Avenue and head towards the Ponquogue Bridge. Go over the bridge and make a left. Then almost immediately make your very first left. Follow this to the end, and you're there. For any questions please call 631-369-9840.
