For the 19th year, the West Islip Breast Cancer Coalition will host its Clam Shucking Contest at Surf's Out Restaurant in Kismet on Tuesday, August 13.

Festivities include music, raffles, a Chinese auction, silent auction and children's activities. There will be a cash grand prize for the raffle. All proceeds support the “Lend A Helping Hand” program, which provides services for local women affected by breast cancer.

Admission to the event, which lasts from from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is free.

Ferry ticket prices to Kismet will be reduced for the 9:20 a.m. and 11:20 a.m. rides, while supplies last. Tickets must be purchased at the Maple Avenue dock only.
