The resurgence of the Rocky Point/Sound Beach business district after a long winter and months of COVID doldrums was on display as thousands enjoyed the local chamber of commerce’s 2ndAnnual Spring Festival.
“Our area is on its way to a full recovery with a tremendous turnout of people who support our local merchants,” said RPSB Chamber President Gary Pollakusky. “It was a fantastic event that really showed the vibrancy of our local businesses and what we have to offer.”
According to Pollakusky, more than 60 merchants took part in a day-long event that was attended by the town, county and state officials who represent the area. “We’re bringing in new traffic, new eyes on the wide variety of businesses that call our area home,” he noted.
In addition to the food and amenities served up by the local businesses, the festival featured plenty of activities for the kids including bounce houses, obstacle courses and plenty of fun and games. “It was a family friendly event that we hope will keep people coming back,” said the chamber president who runs Media Barrel, an advertising company in the area.
