Aluminum Can Art is the latest in recycling! The retired self admitting "tinkerer" purchased an aluminum can airplane at a craft fair a few years back, took a close look at the design and thought to himself, "I can make this better". Thus the start of the this environment friendly company. "I purchase the soda cans from the local redemption center, the beer cans I drain myself!" Newest CEO Models Fashions at Kings Park Day!

Pictured above right, Kings Park's newest CEO and a very proud mom. "We are having a great day, business has been good and everyone is having a great time!" Scents for Gents? Candles for Men!
With names link "BBQ Ribs", "Rawhide", "CupOJoe" and "Bonfire" this internet start up caught the eye of more than one passerby in the commuter lot across from the firehouse at Kings Park Day. The well spoken CEO explains that most of our candles are purchased by women for their men, the most popular being "Sambuca" and "Orange Liquor" which are said to have special medicinal qualities! Scents for Gents can be located online at www.scentsforgents.com Fairies and Pixie Dust!
It all started when this art student moved into
her parents basement. "I had to find something to do with all the
stuff which was collected over the years." In addition to her
original fashion accessories, this pixie also creates Japanese style
pottery called "Raku", and went on to explain, "Fairy is a
good word!".

St Catherine Medical
Center
Kings Park Chamber of Commerce Member, St Catherine Medical Center has donated $6000 to three local school districts including Kings Park in an effort to support local education. The money was raised by the staff of St Catherine Medical Center. Each department's staff created a gift basket with food and other small goodies, then auctioned off the baskets to raise the funds. This donation is from the people of St Catherine Medical Center to the people of Kings Park.
There is a desperate shortage of nurses in our area, nursing is an excellent well paying career with rewards for both community and the individual. "Helping improve local education can only help with our recruiting efforts and make for a better Kings Park."
