- 2009 Recap -
|
|
| We wish to thank everyone for their warmly enthusiastic support in 2009, especially those who turned out for December's memorable fundraiser, which was a heck of a lot of fun, a beautiful reflection of our richly diverse community - and a huge success!
Special thanks must be given to some generous supporters whose donations helped make the event so wonderful: Roberta's restaurant, who custom-baked 150 sourdough boules that served as soup bowls and dinner plates; Pride Enterprises, who graciously loaned us the sprawling space for the event (currently available for lease if you are interested), while others shared their gifts and performed for us in a spirited show that included a great live band, a fire dancer, a didgeridoo, and a guest appearance from recent mayoral candidate, Reverend Billy!
Others showed their support by donating items to our "silent auction": knit hats from Johanna of East New York Farms!, lessons at The Trapeze Loft, a bike accessory pack from Brooklyn Bike School, a trio of jams from Jamarchy... really great stuff!
And then there were the volunteers, who helped pull it all together. Thanks, everyone!
And thanks to all who continue to believe that Bushwick is not a food or culture desert! See you in the Spring!

Thanks to EVERYONE for making PUMPKINFEST! 2009 a big success:
Market volunteers, the Linden-Bushwick Block Association Garden's home team,
and especially our volunteer Zombies, who found time during their busiest season
to participate in our Haunted Garden and put some old-fashioned scares
back into Halloween for 200 or so lucky (?) visitors! |
Special thanks must be given to Alex and Nicole (above, at right), two stalwart Bushwick Farmers' Market volunteers.
Best bunch of Zombies I've ever had the pleasure of working with!
Pumpkin carving contest winner Darius with Zachary B. Zombie
(who led tours of the Haunted Forest "looking for his lost friends")
Friday night's concert started with reggae from Vibes Brata 3.0 and ended with the charming homespun stylings of Band of Bicycles.
