Hello all. I'm here with your fresh copy of the Patchogue Daily. Keep reading to find out all the most important things happening in our community, including updates on...

• Patchogue Boat Parade is this November.
• The Renaissance Festival is Saturday.
• Find the best places to get a mouth-watering pie on Long Island and more!

But first, today's weather:

Patchy morning fog. High: 65, low: 56.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Patchogue who want to build awareness, connect with customers, and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Patchogue Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top four stories today in Patchogue:

1. The Patchogue Boat Parade kicks off in November. The traditional event is free for the public and features themed decorated crafts sailing around the Patchogue River on Nov. 20 at 5 p.m. (Patchogue Chamber Of Commerce)
2. The Patchogue Renaissance Fall Festival is coming! Mark the calendar for Nov. 5 from noon to 4 p.m. on the day to enjoy music by the Urban Rodeo, a food truck, a petting zoo and more at 200 La Bonne Vie in Patchogue. The event has free admission, but a donation of a canned food item to help a local pantry will be appreciated. (Patchogue Chamber Of Commerce)
3. The New York Governor's race is in full swing. Polls show numbers are narrowing between Democrat Kathy Hochul and Republican Lee Zeldin. The early voting period ends on Sunday, Nov 6. Visit the link to learn more about New York’s midterm elections. (NY Times)
4. Holidays are around the corner and there's nothing better than enjoying a warm dessert after a fantastic meal. Long Island is served by various family-owned bakeries that use local produce to create the best recipes for all. Click on the link to see Patch's list of the must-go stores to get a pie for your holiday celebrations. (Patch)

Patch deal of the day:

Good knives make all the difference in the kitchen, but you don’t need to overpay for them. Seido Japanese knives are made with strong high-carbon stainless steel (high-carbon knives are more durable and usually more expensive) and have an acute 15-degree angle for a noticeably sharper cutting face (most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees). For a limited time, Patch readers can get a 5-piece Seido Japanese master knife set for 71 percent off. At just under $70, this chef-quality set is perfect for any home cook and would also make a great gift for the holidays.
