The Southampton Business Alliance along with the local Chambers of Commerce and the Hamptons Visitors Council urge residents to "Think Local" on Small Business Saturday, during the upcoming holiday shopping season and throughout the year.

It's that time of the year again. The Hamptons will be taken over by holiday cheer with Holiday Parades and Tree Lightings from Westhampton Beach to Montauk.

Hamptons charities and non-profits will benefit from the new Southampton Chamber of Commerce shopping program, "Shop Hop."

The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Inc. (ARF) recently participated in a puppy mill rescue, which saved 30 breeder dogs.

On Wednesday, November, 13 Stony Brook University Hospital broke ground on a new building that has the potential to not only change healthcare for all who live in the Hamptons and Long Island, but that could have a profound effect regarding the treatment of catastrophic human diseases like cancer nationally, if not worldwide.

Just in time for the holidays, The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Inc. has released the 2014 ARF Pet Calendar, a great gift for any animal lover.

The Marine Education Foundation is holding a benefit presentation, "Oceans Matter," at the Montauk Library.

For the past 19 years, the Goodale family has opened their hearts and home during the holidays to help spread holiday cheer to homeless children.

Some men can pull it off, think the cast of "Duck Dynsasty," Jon Hamm, Adam Levine, Tom Selleck, Joe Mangianello, or George Clooney. The question folks across the North Fork want to know is - can the police officers in Southold Town grow a great mustache this Movember? You be the judge.

This holiday season brings a Turkey Trot-Run, Family Holiday Fun Day, Lighting of The Lighthouse and a visit from Santa to the Hamptons.
