Rain forced the rescheduling of the Bash at the Beach, celebrating 100 years of the NYS Parks system, from Saturday to Sunday, June 30. The family-friendly event at Hamlin Beach State Park started with a ribbon cutting ceremony for the park’s new mobi-mats, portable, roll-out mats that give beach access to those with mobility assistance devices. The Friends of Hamlin Beach received a grant of $30,000 through Parks and Trails New York for these mats and helped raise and gather donations for the remaining amount. The event also included nature outings, food, a sandcastle competition for kids, the Empire Jeep show, live music, fireworks, and more.
