It’s another amazing edition of our local community calendar, and this time we’re ushering in the start to fall with as much gusto as those blustery autumn winds.  Check out the fun family friendly events, gather up your friends and dates, and let’s get this seasonal party started!  It’s time to celebrate fall, y’all, in all its wonderful splendor.  Here’s our latest for Long Island and the Greater New York Metro Area!

 In just a few short years, podcasts have really changed the way people consume and receive information and consume media.  What was once an obscure, strange new form of media, this beloved streaming audio and talk-show format has now become ubiquitous.  You’ll find that nearly every person you meet enjoys them, or perhaps even has one of their own! We’re very excited to be bringing you some of the most informative and entertaining content on today’s blog. 

Get Ready for Fall with a Visit to These

Gorgeous National Parks of New York State

Fall is finally here, and with it comes the advent of sweater weather, PSLs, apple cider donuts, and of course, leaf peeping!  Though the foliage is just starting to change in our state, you can remain up to date with the ever changing foliage report by I Love New York’s constantly updated map.  Let’s explore some of the most beautiful National Parks for you to catch the autumn foliage for maximum photo opportunities and autumnal camping trips.

We’re gearing up for fall weather here at Atlantic Auto Group.  That means not only breaking out the cozy sweaters, scarves, boots, and autumnal decor, but preparing our car for rainier, foggier, and chillier conditions on the road.  Check out our suggestions for autumnal car care maintenance to ensure you’re ready to roll for the seasonal weather changes.

Did you know that today is National Live Creative Day?  We couldn’t be more excited about it!  Today’s blog post is dedicated to exploring the incredible creative careers within the automotive industry.  The Arts and “STEAM” programming are a vital part of any person’s well-rounded education.  Without support for STEAM/Arts education, society would truly struggle to advance forward.  It is this vital bond between science, math, engineering, art, and mathematics that help us create new technologies, find creative solutions to real-world problems, and take incredible leaps forward!

Today is International Literacy Day!  We’re celebrating this important holiday, created in 1967 and supported by UNESCO, by sharing a list of amazing organizations and charities who support Literacy as a Human Right.  More than 770 million people around the world are lacking in basic literacy skills, but you can help change that by donating to funding efforts or sharing your time through volunteer efforts!

Today is National Beer Lovers Day! Since we live, work, and play right here on Long Island we thought we’d share a great list of local small business breweries to support in celebration.  Consider stopping by these businesses for a brew or booking them for a special event!  Many of them also offer cases or multi-packs that you can take home for your parties, gatherings, or sell wholesale to your restaurant or cafe.  It’s a great way to directly support your neighbors and local business while helping them reach new audiences.
