You may have noticed that those iconic Adirondack Chairs have made a triumphant return to Parrish Beach. However, the absence of the Big Chair is all too strongly felt. But rest assured, the Chair is coming back. According to Vice President of Facilities, Stu Hain, the chairs must undergo maintenance and repair work during storage. Repairs on the Big Chair have taken longer then usual, but it is on track to make its spring debut this Friday morning!
