Oct. 28: Get Scared, Know the Issues, Don't Be a Bully

The end of October means plenty of Halloween fun, a few more days of breast cancer awareness initiatives and a new group dedicated to prevent youth bullying and substance abuse. We also want you to hit us with your best fall foliage shots.

1. Southold Free Library holds its traditional Halloween party for kids in grades four through six this afternoon after school from 3:45 to 4:30 p.m. Be prepared for caramel apples and scary stories. Call 631-765-2077 for more information.

2. Before you vote next Tuesday, get to know the local issues of the day — and please tell us what most concerns you this election season in the comments: http://patch.com/A-Q1X.

3. The North Fork Alliance is a new coalition formed to prevent bullying and substance abuse amongst local teens. Read all about it here: http://patch.com/A-S6b

4. Cross Sound Ferry has spent the entire month raising funds and awareness to help fight breast cancer. The company was honored yesterday by representatives of Eastern Long Island Hospital. Stay tuned for the story.

5. Fall foliage is in full swing, and our photographers are dedicated to capturing the area's seasonal shift. Look for pictures this weekend on North Fork Patch — and feel free to send us your own at erins@patch.com.
