Calling All Readers Who Live in Huntington....
Give us your stories.... (Pix: Bill Davis, Newsday)
Are you out there?
Good! WLIW/21 wants you, needs you, will make you a star. The channel's putting together a doc on the town of Huntington - not unlike "New York War Stories" - and wants YOUR story.
Begs the question: Does this mean Ch. 21 is beginning a whole new series on LI, dedicated to individual communities, because it can't very well do something on Huntington and not eventually do Islip, or Hempstead, Brookhaven, Riverhead, Smithtown...?
Per a WLIW spokeswoman, via email, "As for our plans, I think it’s too early to tell right now. I know the goal and hope is to have this Huntington show be the first in a series of shows on different LI towns. But we have to see what the response is to this show first. Our hope is that by getting the community involved from the start, it will encourage viewership when the doc finally airs."
The full release, with details - on the jump...
Share Your Stories, Photos & Home Movies
In the tradition of WLIW21’s award-winning New York The Way it Was series, the New York public television station is getting ready to explore the story of one of Long Island’s most interesting communities – Huntington. Following the tremendous success of New York War Stories, which featured viewer-contributed videos and letters, WLIW21’s production team turns to viewers like you once again for stories, photos and home movies of family celebrations, sporting events, carnivals, parades and other Huntington activities. If you lived in Huntington Village, Cold Spring Harbor, Huntington Station, Northport, Greenlawn, Dix Hills and Lloyd Neck between 1950 and 1990, please share your memories of the places and people that will always remind you of your hometown, Huntington. WLIW21’s cameras can capture Huntington today, but need your help to tell the story of yesterday.
