THIS WEEKEND: Red Shed Garden Summer Barbecue & Block Party!

Given that yours truly was not appointed with anything resembling a green thumb I have a genuine appreciation for those who do. Thus why I am pleased as punch to pass along that the folks at Red Shed Garden will be having their annual Summer Barbecue and block party this upcoming Saturday, June 23rd! Those of you who are unfamiliar with this lovely endeavor can get a taste by perusing the following (granted, a few years old) slide show below.

Any and all who have the opportunity do swing by and see Red Shed Garden for yourselves. Not only will you be supporting a great cause but chances are you will have a lot of fun in the process!

A lass named Laura writes of the above find:

Hi Heather! Mike found this add in Craigslist for 40+ rubber chickens in Greenpoint. We both thought of you. Is that wrong?

Well, I have been associated with much worse things. If any Greenpointers reading this are in need of 40 rubber chickens (and you know who you are), this is your lucky day! Interested parties (or disbelievers) can view this advertisement firsthand by clicking here. Reading is truly believing.
