• Kings Park Day Festival this weekend.
• Whisper Woods in Smithtown is hiring.
• Happenings and more!

But first, today's weather: Nice with partial sunshine. High: 79, Low: 61.

Here are the top four stories today in Smithtown:

1. Grateful Paw Cat Shelter will have a booth at the Kings Park Day Festival on Main Street. All Smithtown township communities are invited to enjoy this annual event that gathers over 250 vendors, food trucks, rides, games, live music, and more on June 17 starting at 10 a.m. (Smithtown Patch Events)
2. Whisper Woods in Smithtown is calling job searchers in the community and surrounding areas to apply for available full time, part time, and overnight positions. The spots are perfect for dedicated LPNs. Visit the Smithtown Patch calendar to learn details and to apply online. (Smithtown Patch)
3. Foodies in the Smithtown and Commack neighborhoods can shout out the success of the new Rolling Spring Roll on Jericho Turnpike. The eatery had its grand opening in April but has already been mentioned in local food magazines as one of the best places on Long Island to get authentic Vietnamese food. The place is also served by a food truck that rolls its wheels to different events on the island. (Daily Voice)
4. Police are searching for a man who broke into a car parked at the Walmart store on Crooked Hill in Commack and stole a purse. Security cameras showed the suspect fleeing from the scene in a dark SUV. (Patch)
