A Little Summer Turbulence in Farmingdale

Hi All,

Summertime means fun in the sun and days at an amusement park or beach or park or kayaking on the water or well, anything to do with the 'great outdoors'. 

So what better way to say summer than an article about Farmingdale's Adventureland?

Indeed, a brand new, $5 million roller coaster opened at Adventureland amusement park recently. 
Click on this link to read more about this - directly from The Farmingdale Observer - from an article written on 6/2/15!

Click on this link from Adventureland to see a few pictures of the new behemoth roller coaster. While on the site, users can buy season passes, get park information, learn about birthday parties, where to eat, shop the online store and see pictures of the various rides/attractions at the amusement park.

Enjoy the summer - enjoy your trip to Adventureland!

Finally, if you like roller coasters or amusement parks, click on this link which goes to the library card catalog where you'll find books on amusement parks and roller coasters - we have - or can get any of the books on the list for you!

Enjoy the links!

Regards,
Stu

Farmingdale - links and websites from around web

Hi All,

Farmingdale is a very, very historic village. Click here for the Wikipedia link to pretty much all things Farmingdale. On the Wikipedia site, notice a few things: the maps on the right side of the page, the Table of Contents at the very top of the entry - with 'chapters' entitled, 'Areas outside the Village also properly known as Farmingdale, History, Geography, Transportation, Demographics, Prominent Citizens, College and more.

There is also a link to external links - click here to see that particular link.

Click here for the official Farmingdale website, here for the Farmingdale-Bethpage Historical Society website, here for the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce website and here for the Detailed Zoning Map of the Village. Click here for information on the Bethpage Purchase which occurred in 1687 and helped found much of the Farmingdale-Bethpage-East Farmingdale-Plainedge area. Neat stuff.

Click here for the Zip Code Tabulation Area from the 2000 Census for zip code 11735 - which is Farmingdale. Cool stuff from the Census Bureau. Click here for a brief listing of Farmingdale businesses - from a homemade website by the name of Fdale.com.

Finally click on the relevant links that I post below if you are interested. These are a bunch of businesses, companies, organizations, etc that I thought some users would find interesting when talking about or researching 'things Farmingdale'. And yes, I will list the Farmingdale Public Library in the list - its a great place to visit, take materials out from or stop by and read a newspaper, use our wifi, or take in a movie! (Sorry for the somewhat shameless plug...)
