“The Eglevsky Ballet students put on a spectacular show,” states Paul J. Connor III, President/CEO ELIH. “We are very grateful to the performers who volunteered their time, Peconic Landing for underwriting the event, and to the staff and residents who helped make the event a success.”
The sold out performance was a welcome addition to the slate of holiday happenings on the North Fork. Over 160 tickets were sold proving once again that Peconic Landing is a highly desirable resource for community and cultural events.
“Peconic Landing captured the true meaning of the season,” adds Connor. “It’s all about neighbors caring for neighbors.”
