“Our Tuesday nights grew out of the business development committee,” Village Trustee Tom Kehoe said. “It was something we saw Patchogue had done. We tried to do something similar and it’s been very successful.”

“It’s something to stimulate local business and something for the local residents to have a good time,” Kehoe said. “That’s what Tuesday nights are all about.”
