Who says February is boring? Not us. This weekend on the North Fork, there are a multitude of activities to dazzle the tastebuds (fondue!), engage your right-brain (did someone say pink art at the North Fork Art Collective?), run away with the British Invasion and help you become a better steward of the land and its creatures. Check out what’s happening from Riverhead to Greenport this upcoming weekend, friends!
