Riverhead News: National Library Week events
Riverhead artist Mary Dabrowski was selected by Riverhead Free Library’s art co-coordinator to display her original acrylic paintings during April. Mary’s work features sunflowers, water scenes and local sights. Be sure to stop in to view her work and enjoy some of the beautiful moments depicted in her paintings.
Frank and Carol Stepnoski recently enjoyed a wonderful trip to Austin, Texas, to visit their son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Lori Stepnoski, and granddaughter, Amelia. Robert is a senior systems administrator at the School of Architecture, University of Texas at Austin. They attended the 13th annual Lonestar Round Up — a huge outdoor car show and music festival that features hundreds of vintage hot rods and custom cars — and dined at many restaurants. Carol and Frank also toured the free bike-ride park, which was designed and built by Robert and his friends and accommodates all ages and riding styles. It’s the only park of this type in Texas.
