GRAHAM AVE. STREET FAIR




The Graham Ave. Street Fair was a great success as usual. Always jammed packed with wonderful vendors, and great displays and merchandise. Delectable foods and exciting entertainment. There was one missing ingredient, our very own Ambassador to Williamsburg Betty, who had emergency surgery but still ran a tight ship even from her bed rest. The highlight for me was Mr. Boro President himself........Mr. Brooklyn...Marty Markowitz. He shared a few encouraging words with the merchants and residents of Williamsburg/Woodhull,Graham Ave. BID and then was off to the Coney Island Area. Before leaving he spoke to as many people as possible and even stopped for a few photos. I was extremely excited to meet and greet Mr. Markowitz and blessed that he took the time to take a photo with my Church one of the organizations represented in the FAIR. Our tent was pitched early, My husband and myself arrived by 8:00am to secure a great spot. The weather was great to us, it was a wonderful fair the beginning of many exciting events that will be held in the Williamsburg area.
Be Back soon with more event reports, pics and news.

My Brooklyn


As of today, I am dedicating this site to BROOKLYN, my town. My other site will still have the updates on my book Teapot Blessings by Cooky Morales available at Lulu.com.
But back to Brooklyn. I know that there are many others that do Brooklyn Blogging; I'm
bringing it the perspective and eyes of a Latina Baby Boomer.
That's me CookyLaBabyBoomer. The first thing I want to share with you is the great pic with me and Mr. Brooklyn himself, Marty Markowitz. We were at the Graham Ave. Street Fair. Brooklyn is all about their street fairs in the good old Summer Time.
I'll try to catch as many street fairs as possible throughout the summer and post them, Oh what a sacrifice, what hard hard work...sign ;-).
