⚓ this week on LBI: 10/30/25

Mornin’!

The rain should be pushing out of the area overnight making the way for a dry (but windy) Halloween. And there’s still a few Halloween events happening throughout the weekend.

For those of you asking for updates on our LBI jigsaw puzzle, we’ve reached out to a few artists and are working out the details. We’ve also found a few manufacturing partners to order samples from. We’ll keep everyone posted (and share the final artwork) as we make additional progress!

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
