Contest: Send Patch Your Fourth of July Photos

Hauppauge and Nesconset residents are celebrating the Fourth of July, proudly honoring the red, white and blue.

Whether your idea of celebrating is packing a picnic lunch for the beach, hosting a barbecue, lighting up a few sparklers or heading out to watch fireworks, we would love to see pictures.

Share your Fourth of July photos with Patch by emailing them to sara-megan.walsh@patch.com, and we'll post all entries received in a gallery. Show your family, friends and neighbors how you proudly sported the red white and blue. Make sure to include the names of the people in your photo.

All pictures submitted will be entered into a random drawing to win a Patch grab bag filled with prizes. Send as many photos as you like, it only increases you chances of winning.

The contest is open for one week, all entries must be submitted by July 11.
