Today, PS 81, the Riverdale Neighborhood House/RNH, State Senator Jeffrey Klein, KRVC and Community Board 8 held a special community event in North Riverdale. The day included many fun Halloween activities, food, music, crafts, games, costumes, fresh produce, including pumpkins and apples, and much, much more.
On the tennis courts of Riverdale Neighborhood House, nearly 40 local merchants, schools and community organizations set up exhibitions and vendor tables. Among the participants were Ibiza Lounge, Capipets, Susan Goldy Real Estate, Elisa Contemporary Art Gallery, Skyview Liquors, MaryAnn’s Gift Shop, Brown’s Jewelers, Mr. Bagels, Sqweez Café, Country Bank, Staples, John’s Botany Bay, Touch of Sun Salon, Total City Girl, PS 24, Sinfonietta of Riverdale and Riverdale Music Studio. The locally owned Mobile Disc Jockey Service kept everyone dancing all day. The children were also entertained by a fun and interactive Magic Show!
In the yard of PS 81, fun activities for children were everywhere. A farmers market featuring fresh produce including pumpkins, apples, endives, egg plant, sweet potatoes, squash and more was featured on the front lawn of PS 81.
