Price: Free (tour for adults only)
An 4.5 mile biking excursion through Great Kills Park, Gateway Unit, with Museum naturalist (and bike rider) Ray Matarazzo.

Oy vey! Well, a couple of very cool last-minute listings for the famous New York Tails Calendar of Pet Events came in (people -- what did I tell you about sending your events to us via the special area I made just for you on our www.newyorktails.com website, and with some advanced notice!) and my wonderful yet-globe-trotting webmaster is off to Hawaii. (We were actually in the middle of updating it when her cab came 15 minutes early -- first time in anyone's life that will happen, and of course it happens to me!)
So, I am using my blog here as a back-up to our current calendar, which is at:

And, please, people, if you have an event to submit to us, please send it to:
http://www.newyorktails.com/subcalendar.html
with as much notice as possible -- pretty please? :)
