5 Things

Good morning, Douglaston.

In case you haven't already seen it, be sure to check out our story on a Carnegie Hall group's performance at the Samuel Field Y.

This afternoon, drop back by the site for our weekly Parent Talk column. This week's topic is how long you should allow your children to play outside during extremely hot weather.

Then, stop by the site tomorrow to view our Week In Review and see what stories you might have missed.

Here are 5 Things You Need to Know Today:

1. Read our piece about the musical performance at the Samuel Field Y.

2. Drop by at 2 p.m. for Douglaston Patch's Parent Talk column.

3. Stop by Alley Pond Environmental Center today for World Environment Day. And, read our preview story of the event.

4. Drop by Cunningham Park for a vigorous hike as part of National Trails Day.

5. There will be a nature scavenger hunt tomorrow afternoon at Fort Totten.
