🌱 March Of The Goblins Today + Best Places On LI To Get A Pie

Hi all. It's me, Debora Whitehead, your host of the Shirley-Mastic Daily — back in your inbox with all the most important things happening in town. Including updates on:

• March of the Goblins on Main Street today!
• New York elections updates.
• Best places to get a mouth-watering pie and more!

But first, today's weather:

Patchy fog in the morning. High: 66, low: 55.

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

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Shirley-Mastic 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 three stories in Shirley-Mastic today:

1. The March of the Goblins kicks off on Moriches Main Street today! Dress up in your favorite costume and take the kiddos out to trick or treating at the local business. The road will be closed for safety. The event starts at 4:30 p.m. ( Moriches Chamber of Commerce)
2. The New York governor’s race is in full swing and 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)
3. 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.

(The Patch Deals team scours the web for deals we think you'll love; we may earn a commission on purchases. All deals are as of publication and could change.)
