3rd Annual Kids Day Event Comes to a Close

As the blazing sun begins to set on the rooftops of Franklin Avenue the 3rd Annual Kids Day Event comes to a close. Children skip away merrily tightly grasping the prizes acquired throughout the day. Parents gather their families, flashing warm smiles as they recollect the memories made on this true summer day. The Crown Heights community’s dedication was duly noted in the absolute success of the event. Now as the rides are disassembled and the last of the stickers are given away, the feeling of togetherness is stronger than ever; everyone is pulling together even in the clean-up effort. For those who weren’t able to attend, you can still relive the day through the multiple photo albums on the About Time Boutique Facebook Fan Page and the videos posted in the previous blog posts. Once again, a big thank you to all of the 3rd Annual Kids Day Event’s official sponsors. Without them today would not have been possible.

Keeping Cool at The Kids Day Event

About Time Boutique’s recent publicity in AM New York has helped make this Kids Day bigger than the ones before. The graciousness of those families enjoying the event goes to show how appreciative and united a growing community as diverse as Crown Heights can be. To beat the heat, snow cones are being handed out at a fast rate while volunteers spritz fatigued children. Fire fighters have just arrived on the scene to open up a hydrant-establishing a make shift sprinkler. For the adult crowd, souvenir Kids Day shirts, which double as an homage to the sponsors, are available in a variety of sizes. For those who aren’t here to see this seemingly magical event to unravel there’s still time to experience it for yourself!

*Update: The Experience Unisex Salon located on Franklin Avenue and Sterling Place has just donated 35 bags of ice just in time to prevent a snow cone shortage! We would like to officially thank you!

AM New York Recognizes AboutTime Boutique!

During the morning rush hour, as hectic commuters make their way through the impossibly crowded train stations, they are always seen to be armed with a copy of the widely distributed AM New York. Today at AboutTime Boutique, AM New York photographer Andrew Hinderaker dropped by to interview owner Kevin Phillip, in addition to documenting the much buzzed about Crown Heights boutique.

16 Days Until the 3rd Annual Kids Day

As the last of the delectable blueberry tart was sold, a sense of excitement and relief filled the air: the funds needed to achieve a successful Kids Day were finally gathered. With 16 days left until the highly anticipated event, the buzz surrounding the upcoming 3^rd Annual Kids Day is becoming almost deafening. Residents from all over Crow Hill stopped by the AboutTime Boutique to show support for the event, as well as the community through their purchases. In reflection of the 3^rd Annual Kids Day, the bake sale had a sweet treat for everyone in the family-specifically the perfectly decorated cupcakes with delicate edible flowers, and the best selling Patron Cupcakes (exclusively for the adult crowd). The commitment of those involved and the support that ensured the success of all the bake sales, has quantified the feeling of unity and family among the tight-knit Crown Heights community.
