⚓ this week on LBI: 9/18/25

here's what's going on...

Mornin’!

Thanks to everyone who took the poll last week about creating an LBI-themed jigsaw puzzle. There definitely seems to be some interest!

We’ll be reaching out to local artists soon to see who’d like to collaborate and will keep you posted on what happens.

We also wanted to let you know that we’ve updated our list of establishments that have food and drink specials during football season. You can find a link to that towards the bottom of the newsletter under the ‘Eat & Drink’ section. We’ll continue to keep that page updated as we discover more. And if you see any places we missed, reply to this email and let us know!

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