The popular Deck the Farm celebration at Amber Waves Farm in Amagansett happens on Saturday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. 

"We welcome people to sit around a fire, listen to local carolers, enjoy seasonal food and drink available in our market, holiday nature crafts for kids, caroling, and a special 'light up the tractors' moment in our fields," the farm's team says on the Amber Waves website.

There will be s'mores making at the multiple fire pits from 4:30 to 5, at which point the action will move to the lighting of the tractors followed by a visit from a special someone from points north. 

Tickets, which cost $30 for adults and $10, can be purchased at the farm on Saturday or on the farm's website. Adult tickets include a beer and wine ticket, while supplies last.

Rowdy Hall (the House) Is on a Roll

Long before the name “Rowdy Hall” was adopted by a popular East Hampton Village bar and eatery (now in Amagansett), it was a boarding house: Mrs. Harry Hamlin’s Rowdy Hall. The building, now a single-family house, still stands at 111 Egypt Lane, although currently it’s floating, suspended six feet above a hole. When it’s lowered again, it will be on a new foundation.
