Brooklyn Heights Spring Fair This Weekend!

Willowtown Spring Fair is coming to Brooklyn Heights this Saturday, May 18th.  This cute little street, Willow Place between Joralemon and State, will be bustling with people on Saturday between 12pm and 5pm.  Along with live music there will be face painting and races for the kids and wine tasting for adults.  There is so much more (bounce house, fire engine, kitten adoptions plant sale, etc) It's a little one block street but it's going to be packed full of activities and snacks!

RHI Block Party!

The Red Hook Initiative is having a block party tomorrow, Saturday August 4th, to celebrate their 10th anniversary.  The party is at 767 Hicks, between W9 and Huntington from 3-7.  They'll have DJs, food, double dutch, dancing and a cooking contest!  For those of you who aren't familiar with RHI here's an excerpt from their website about their history.


In 2002 the Red Hook Health Initiative began as a program of a local hospital, in response to the severity of health and social issues in Red Hook. Over the last decade we have developed into a well-regarded community-based institution. In 2006 we formed the Red Hook Initiative (RHI), an independent 501(c)3, in order to expand our scope to better meet community needs. In February 2010, RHI moved into a brand new community center. It is a green building, representing our commitment to social justice and sustainability. This year, 2012, RHI is celebrating our 10th Anniversary and is moving forward with a renewed commitment to the people and community of Red Hook.
