Hear the Black Beast Roar on the Motor Parkway from Hauppauge to Lake Ronkokoma This Sunday


The Black Beast will be on the Long Island Motor Parkway this Sunday, participating in the First Annual Motor Parkway "Sunday Drive to Lake Ronkonkoma" Parade and Car Show.


The parade will begin at 9:30 AM at the Hyatt Regency Long Island in Hauppauge (1717 Motor Parkway).

 


 

The Parade will end at a car show in Raynor County Park, near the sites of the Motor Parkway's Lake Ronkonkoma Lodge, Petit Trianon and the Annex to the Petit Trianon.
