Carroll Park Fair 2015 In Carroll Gardens Was An Amazing Success

The wonderful volunteers of Friends of Carroll Park, who worked very hard to put this event together.

As in years past, the annual Carroll Park Fair, held this past Saturday, was a huge success. It may have been just a trifle hot, but under bright umbrellas, vendors displayed their wares, organizations offered their services, and locals sold their goods. But of course, the funnest part of the day was to run into neighbors and to catch up on Carroll Gardens news.
The event was organized by Friends of Carroll Park, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the park for everyone. The fair is the group's largest fundraiser of the year and all donations will go right back into keeping everyone's favorite neighborhood oasis looking beautiful.

This Year, Carroll Park Fair Scheduled For May 30th. Get Your Spot Now!

Rent a patch of Carroll Park's Valentino ball field during Friends of Carroll Park's ever-popular annual fair.  This year's event is scheduled for Saturday May 30th, from 10 AM to 5 PM (The rain date will be the next day, rain or shine.)

Here is all the pertaining information:
The Deal
Spaces (10’ x 10’) are $35, or $50 if you want a space next to a fence (the advantage of the fence is that you can hang stuff on it).
Friends of Carroll Park provides only the space – you need to provide your own table and chair.
Sorry, but FoCP cannot allow sales of food or drink.

How To Reserve
To reserve a space, you can mail in a check, stop by and pay by check or cash, or use Paypal.

Mailing Payment
Make checks payable to CICP. Send to Gary Dolan, 213 Carroll Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231. Please include a note with your name, phone number, email address and a brief description of what you will be selling (for example, “miscellaneous household goods” or “jewelry” would be fine).

Drop Off
Call 917-574-0745 first to make sure I will be in. 213 Carroll is between Court and Clinton – ring the bell under the stoop. You can also put your payment in an envelope, along with the info requested under “Mailing Payment,” and slip the envelope through the basement locked gate, and I will email you to confirm receipt.

Paypal
To net the full fee through Paypal, we need to get paid a little more. For a $35 space, the Paypal payment is $36.35, and for a $50 space it is $51.80. Use this email address to make payment: carrollparkflea@gmail.com

Non-Profit
100% of the space fee goes to the Friends of Carroll Park, a non-profit group that has been around for over 30 years. It is run entirely by volunteers. All funds received are spent on the Park, mostly on gardening and free children’s concerts. We’re sort of the PTA for the park, supplementing what the City does.

Reserve your spot soon, as they do get sold out fast.
