Carroll Park Fair 2018 This Past Saturday Was A Huge Success

This year's Carroll Park Fair exceptionally took place in September this year because its original date in May got rained out. The delay worked out perfectly, though.  Saturday's weather could not have been lovelier and attendance by Carroll Gardeners was at an all time high.
Amongst the vendors were many local artisans, who sold furniture, clothings and toys. Others offered vintage household items, custom jewelry and old records. There really was something for everyone at the fair.
Thanks to all the vendors who participated this year, and to the many visitors who generously donated to Friends Of Carroll Park at the event.  This is the non-for-profit group's main fundraiser and the money raised at the fair enables FoCP's volunteers to do all their great work in the Park -- movie nights, karaoke, the Halloween party, all the plantings, and more.
Where you there? Did you find something to buy?

Coming Up This Spring In Carroll Park: Bark Avenue Adopt-A-Thon And The Popular Carroll Park Fair

Spring has arrived in Carroll Park as hundreds of daffodils are currently in full bloom in one of Brooklyn's oldest parks. If you have not yet walked by, you should. Just in time for warmer and sunnier days, two very popular events have been scheduled in our neighborhood's green oasis.

The first is the Bark Avenue Adopt-A-Thon on Sunday, April 29th from 1 pm to 5 pm. (Rainday is May 6th). If you have been thinking about adopting a four-legged friend, this is your opportunity to meet some great dogs and cats looking for a home. And even if you can't provide a home for a pet, please come out and support the wonderful rescue groups that will be taking part in this event.

From the organizers:

Come join us for a blast from the past for this year’s 70’s ‘Disco Dog’ theme! Brooklyn’s own ‘Brian Travolta’ is sure sure to show us some moves this dog day afternoon! We have lots of fun activities this year including a puppet show by the Mayor’s Alliance For NYC’s Animals, An agility course by Dogboy and a pup photo booth by Mobile Mutts to name a few!
