Still Game

Reports of its death are greatly exaggerated, says the Long Island Game Farm.

The Manorville attraction opened this week for its 38th year, amid false rumors that it was going to morph into a condo development.

"Rumors have been circulating for some time now, but we have no plans to develop the Game Farm's propert," said co-owner Melissa Novak, suggesting that people may be confusing her venue with the Catskill Game Farm, which closed in the fall. "But our facility has no relation to theirs."

Except for two of its residents: The Long Island Game Farm opened its doors to a camel and a cougar made homeless by the Catskill closing.

The Long Island Game Farm is open this week for an "early peek" at its new exhibits, which include "Kindergarten Kats," a tiger show aimed at toddlers. It will then be open only on weekends until April 30, and daily thereafter until Columbus Day, Oct. 8.

That is all this world needs is another condo development.

In an effort to maximize land and return, condo and loft living are going up everywhere. Glad to hear that this was only rumors.

Best of success,

Mark
