I recently filmed a new episode of "Talking History with the Town Clerk" at the Catholic Health Amphitheater at Bald Hill, a place many Brookhaven residents know today as a concert venue, but one with a fascinating past deeply rooted in Long Island history.

Before it became the amphitheater we know today, the site was home to the Bald Hill Ski Bowl, Long Island’s largest downhill ski area from 1965 to 1980. Located on one of the highest points on Long Island, the ski bowl featured tow ropes, a T-bar lift, multiple ski trails, and even a Swiss chalet-style lodge with a fireplace. At its peak, thousands of skiers visited each week to experience something many people never realized existed.

Due to inconsistent snowfall and rising operating costs, the ski resort eventually closed. The Town later transformed the property into a cultural destination for the community, creating what is now the amphitheater, a venue that has hosted countless memorable concerts and events for Long Island residents over the years.

In this episode, we talked about the incredible evolution of Bald Hill, from its early days as a ski destination to the entertainment landmark it has become today.

Fast forward to today, we’re just getting started with another exciting concert season at Bald Hill. We’re preparing to announce an incredible lineup of performances and events, including our annual Freedom Fest celebration featuring country music star Brett Young and a spectacular firework show, the annual freestyle concert, and much more still to come throughout the summer.

Today, I attended the Middle Country Retirees Association at the Middle Country Public Library.

I was pleased to participate and discuss the workings of the Town Clerk’s office, how the office can help our residents with their needs, and how I am improving our services to be more accessible to our residents.

We also had a great conversation on recognizing scams, avoiding fraud, and Suffolk County’s HOWL program.

It was wonderful talking to everyone!
