More than 200 people came together on Friday evening at the beautiful home of George and Joan Hornig to attend Peconic Baykeeper’s annual “Celebration of our Bays.” Annie Falk’s latest book “Hamptons Entertaining” was featured on this special evening. Annie has generously donated 1,000 copies of her book to Peconic Baykeeper.

The Peconic Baykeeper Association offered special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. George Horning for the use of their property, Annie Falk for her tremendous book donation, sponsors, Dennis O’Connor, photographers, and volunteers for contributing to such a successful event.
