04/14/10 Coney Island comes to Greenwich for Family Centers’ annual benefit

Nathan’s world famous hot dogs, thrilling amusements and long days at the beach are just a few things synonymous with the old-fashioned fun of Coney Island. So, throw on your boardwalk attire and celebrate the magic the “Playground by the Sea” on Friday, June 4 as Family Centers brings the sights, sounds and excitement of Coney Island to Greenwich for its 2010 benefit. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. and will be held at the Greenwich home of Arlene and Reuben Mark.

Featuring a midway full of challenging carnival-style games, an authentic sideshow and tasty seaside treats, co-chairs Pam Caffray, Leigh Carpenter, Laurie Grauer, Laurie Host and Susan Yonce have planned a classic summer evening that evokes all the charm of Coney Island’s heyday.
