The show is brought to you by Loisaida Open Streets and the East Village Community Coalition.
In late February we were finally able to present a general presentation to the board to discuss the renewal of our lease. Again a lot of praise with no feedback or questions from the board. Two days prior to the meeting we decided to accept pre-applications, as a way to show the commitment and interest from our community, and received 110 applications resulting in a total of 850 booths booked in 48 hours.
Exactly four weeks before our scheduled Season 12 opening on April 10th, we received an email stating the board wants to consider a different operator, and not allow us to proceed with the programming.
While the board has no legal obligation to the Hester Street Fair, we still urge them to allow us, our vendors, and partners to finish what we started, to continue the fair for this season, and give us the time to transition to a new location.

Friends, we thank you for your support and allyship during this hard time. While the fight isn't over, we would also like to raise awareness on mental health among women in this collaboration with @stolenmagnolia. This Saturday 3/20 and Sunday 3/21 we will be organizing a Plant and Coffee event in all locations to share how caring for plants can be therapeutic and improve quality of life, especially for women. Parts of the proceeds will be donated to the @namicommunicate.The event takes place each day in the East Village from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Tomorrow, Saturday, March 20 at 2 p.m. we are having a second and final event dedicated to the 17th issue of the LiVE MAG! neighborhood journal of art and poetry. Join us to hear literary masters of revolutionary charm — Patricia Spears Jones, Paco Marquez, Larry Sawyer, Lydia Cortés, Bob Heman. Your hosts, Jeffrey Cyphers Wright (Uncle Fun) and Ilka Scobie, guarantee to make it an erudite, witty and refreshingly impromptu afternoon.

The hawks usually lay three eggs, but we have no idea what's going on up in the nest, so we will just have to wait and see. Going by the first egg date, we can expect a hatch in about six weeks, so around the end of April or first week of May. When that happens, we won't be able to see anything, but Christo will start bringing food to the nest. In the meantime, there won't be much for us to watch except for Christo and Amelia taking turns brooding.
