Buy/ Sell Red Hook event this weekend!


RHED Event

Red Hook Economic Development (RHED)
Fall Event!
BUY/SELL RED HOOK*

What is it? Neighborhood Sidewalk Sale and Flea Market

When? Sunday, October 3, 10am-4pm

Where?
In order to create a cohesive event, we recommend concentrating activity both along Van Brunt Street (sidewalk sales) and in the PS 15 schoolyard (flea market). You choose where. $10 will secure you an ~10x10 space in the schoolyard - note that school restrooms will be accessible during the day. To reserve your space contact info@redhooked.org. Spaces are limited.

Who can SELL?
Local residents, businesses, and community groups are welcome.

Why BUY/SELL?
You know the old adage, "one man's trash is another man's treasure."

How to BUY/SELL?
Begin your mission by sorting through your closets, book shelves, drawers, trunks, toy boxes, and basement. Next, SELL off all those neglected, unwanted, outgrown, ill-begotten items. Then you'll have room to BUY your neighbor's goods. (Hmm, perhaps we should just call this a swap meet?!)

Would you prefer to just donate items?
Falconworks Artists Group is accepting items to re-SELL at the flea market. Proceeds will benefit this local nonprofit's community work. To make arrangements contact Chris Hammett at 347-731-1379 or chris@falconworks.com. To learn more about Falconworks visit www.falconworks.com.

What to do next?
Please send RHED a brief email response if you are participating. info@redhooked.orgWe'd appreciate knowing how, where, and anything else you'd care to share. This will help RHED's efforts in describing/promoting the day's event. e.g., it's great to promote the number of individual participants, as well as describe any special food/merchandise that businesses are selling from their sidewalks, etc

Get creative, have fun, make a few bucks, and don't forget to invite all your non-local friends to BUY in Red Hook on October 3.


* Many thanks to PS 15 Principal Peggy Wyns-Madison for making the school yard available.
