Red Hook Food Vendors Celebrating with Art Exhibit This Weekend

Last week, the Red Hook Ballfield Vendors learned that the permits that allow them to operate in in Red Hook were officially extended through October 21. Vendors Committee Head Cesar Fuentes has sent out an email saying they'll celebrate with "a livelier than usual weekend event" including more soccer games, music and a two-day art and photo show. Mr. Fuentes says:

To celebrate this amazing news, and in observance of the festivities for the Independence Day of Central America and Mexico, the food vendors committee will host a livelier than usual weekend event -more soccer games, pinatas, music, and a 2 day art exhibit featuring photographs taken by the food vendors this weekend, September 15th and 16th. We would be honored to invite you to join us for this event. Our deepest thanks and appreciation for your advocacy and support in favor of the preservation of this affair. As you all may already know, our future is still unknown. Yet, we would like to set this concern aside for now and share this small victory, which is dedicated to all of you.

We're glad to see the hard-working Red Hook vendors able to celebrate something after fighting so many battles this summer.
