As In Years Past, The Carroll Park Fair 2017 Was A Big Hit

The annual Carroll Park Fair, which took place this past Saturday, continues to be one of the most popular events in Carroll Gardens. As usual, it drew large crowds, even though the weather was a bit on the cool side.  The entire Valentino Ball Field was set aside for vendors, who sold everything from furniture, household items, clothing, records, toys and so much more. It is a great opportunity to pick up a bargain, to find out about new businesses, and to connect to neighbors.

The event is hosted by Friends of Carroll Park, which has been holding the fair for over 20 years now.
Hopefully you had an opportunity to stop by the park to check it out.
