Top Weekend Picks for June 28-June 30th

Hoping for lots of sun this weekend!  We seem to be in the pattern of humidity and chance of thunderstorms every day.  It might be a good weekend to check out some library programs, museums, indoor play places, or a bowling alley.  If the weather holds, don't forget the US Women's Open is happening at Sebonack in Southampton and the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League has games this weekend.  Plus all the farmer's markets are in full swing!
