The Shoreham-Wading River Chamber of Commerce hosted the 24th annual Duck Pond Day June 3.
The event included a parade, games and activities, vendors, food and drinks from local chamber businesses.
Man of the Year Rob Nasta, owner of My Creperie in Wading River, was honored for his hard work and dedication and his military service.
Duck Pond Day was started by the civic association as part of a wetlands coastline cleanup effort. The task of sprucing up the ponds turned into a community day where volunteers clean up and then put down their rakes and set up picnics around the ponds. A few years later, the parade was added and as the years passed, Duck Pond Day turned into an annual full-day event.
