Is there anything better than the weekend? Ok, maybe we can think of a few things, but that’s not the point. The point is that you’re off from work, ready to relax, have some fun and more. 

Here’s what else you need to know:

1. The Chaminade varsity basketball team will be heading out to St. John the Baptist this afternoon for a league matchup. Tip off is set for 3:30 p.m.

2. This weekend the Mineola High School is hosting the Nassau County Wrestling Championships. Come down all day and watch the Mustangs compete for the best in Nassau!

3. Do you have a photo of Mineola you want to share? Post it to our Neighborhood gallery here and let the community see your photography skills!

4. Want your voice to be heard? The Mineola Patch is looking for community members to blog on their favorite topics! Contact editor Geoffrey Walter at geoffrey@patch.com for more information!

5. Have an activity, announcement or news we should know about? Tell everyone in the activity stream on our homepage or on our announcement section.
