PIZZA PARTY: Our friends over at Campari Ristorante (225 Main St., Northport, 631-757-6700, www.campariristorante.com), across the street from the John W. Engeman theater, are doing a little something special for the kids this Cow Harbor Day. On Sunday, Sept. 16, the village closes Main Street from 12-5 p.m. for a parade and street fair, with performances and vendors selling food and goods in front of their stores. In addition to featured food items, Campari will have a build-your-own personal pizza station, where kids can roll the dough, create a pizza with cheese (and add pepperoni if they want), and bake them in Campari’s ovens. Best of all, there is no charge for the service, or the food!

SWIRLS & TWIRLS: Long Island’s fifth location of Swirls and Twirls, a self-serve frozen yogurt shop, opens in Greenlawn (769 Pulaski Road, Greenlawn, in the Waldbaum’s Shopping Center) next weekend, giving customers an opportunity to taste something good and do something good. At the opening on Saturday, Sept. 22, 11 a.m.-8 p.m., 50 percent of the proceeds will benefit the Elwood and Harborfields Booster Clubs. What a way to introduce themselves to the neighborhood! Franchisee owners, brothers Frank and Danny Capobianco, say to stop by to savor “the ultimate healthy indulgence” – 24 flavors, more than 50 toppings, and endless possibilities – for half price. Opening day will also feature music, games, raffles and live radio broadcasts from WBLI and 94X.

SHORT AND SWEET: We can’t think of many things sweeter than a cookbook full of dessert recipes, and that’s just what the folks at SeniorNet have been busy putting together. The volunteers at SeniorNet, a program at Family Service League in Huntington and Yaphank that works to educate seniors on using computers and the Internet, compiled their favorite recipes in “Short and Sweet, Delicious Dessert Recipes” – 55 pages of them! Lending a hand, the Huntington Town Board sponsored the printing of the book. We’re excited to say we can’t wait to make the sesame seed cookies and pumpkin cheesecake!
