Welcome to The Village News! You can think of The Village News is an online newspaper that covers local news and events in and around the Bellport area. New information is posted as soon as we receive it. At the beginning of every week, we send out an email, to those who request it, which includes links to the new information that has been posted in The Village News section. It’s a really convenient way to stay informed so you might want to sign up for our Email List. We will never, ever, share your email address with anyone, PERIOD!

There’s a lot here so we’d like to take a minute to explain each of the areas. In the top left corner of this page, and every page in The Village News section, you’ll find links to the following areas or sections…

Late Breaking News
Be the first to know! In Late Breaking News you'll find the latest information about upcoming local events, new additions to Bellport.com, local business announcements, and news about local organizations. There's always something new in Late Breaking News!

Columns
Our Columns section is an area where you, our visitors, can contribute and share with the community your articles and comments regarding anything in the Bellport area. To kick things off, we’ve included areas for From The Editor, On The Bay, At The Lab, Arts & Leisure, Food, People, At Home, Your Health, Travel, Financial, and The Pet Corner. When an addition is made to the Columns section, we’ll let you know through Late Breaking News and our weekly emailing.

Seen & Heard
Seen & Heard is a section where you’ll find human interest stories about people and events in and around the area that have already taken place. Find out what everyone's been talking about in Seen & Heard!

Seen & Heard Archive
There’s always a lot that has gone on in the Bellport area so we maintain an Archive for events that are more than six months old for your review.


Village Calendar
Actually, we have two Calendars. The first, on our Home Page, covers just the current week. The second, which you can find here in The Village News section, covers the entire year. Both include just about every event scheduled in the area plus the South Country School District and South Country Library calendars in their entirety. Our Calendar has become THE calendar for just about all the groups and organizations in the area. Before they schedule a new event, they first check our calendar to avoid conflicts.

Village Legal Notices
Whenever the Village of Bellport sends us new Legal Notices, we post them in this section of The Village News. In addition to any new notices, we maintain several past months of notices so you can go back and view notices that you might have missed.

Classifieds
Placing a classified ad on Bellport.com can be far more effective than placing one in a local newspaper. Why? Because when you place an ad in a local newspaper, the potential buyers are limited to those few people who buy that particular issue of the newspaper and happen to find your listing. When you place a classified ad on Bellport.com, you're advertising to the World! All of the major Search Engines, Google, MSN, Yahoo, and Live, to name just a few, maintain links to the information in our Classifieds section so people all over the world can search for and find your listing! And the best part is that virtually all classified listings are FREE for personal, non-commercial use!

Letters
Got something to say? Do you want to read what someone else in the community has to say? Then our Letters section is what you’re looking for. 
 

Elections
The Elections page features information about upcoming Local, Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York State and even National elections. It also includes information regarding South Country School District elections. You'll find candidate information, election dates and polling place information. Details are posted as they are received.
 

Photo Gallery
Residents and visitors are invited to submit photographs they've taken in and around the Bellport area for display in our Photo Gallery. Several times a year we have a photo contest where you, our visitors, vote as to which photograph you like the most and we come up with a great prize for the winning photographer.


The Game Room
Our Game Room features FREE online games. It’s a place to sit back, relax, and have some fun. The games are for all age groups and we hope you'll enjoy them as much as we do.

Local Sports

If you've lost something or found something in or around the Bellport area that you'd like to see reunited with its owner, let us post the information in our Lost & Found section. This service is FREE of charge. Just send us an email with all the details and we'll post the information. If you have a digital photo to include with the information, please send it along too.
