The weather yesterday couldn't have been better for this year's Smith Street Funday Sunday celebration, the annual street fair, sponsored by South Brooklyn Local Development Corporation, which stretches from Union Street to Bergen Street.
The event highlights not only the small eateries and boutiques which line Smith Street, but also local arts and crafts, as well as great music.Apart from the great food, the highlight by far is Stinky's Cheese Eating Contest, which was held at 2 PM. Though quite a few contestant valiantly tried to beat the winner of years past, Will "The Champ" Millender, easily won for the sixth year in a row. He even set a record, wolfing down 16 onces of cheese in two minutes. Impressive.

Judging by the crowd and the big smiles on everyone's face, Saturday's performance by Karen K And The Jitterbug in Carroll Park was a huge success. On this sunny afternoon, neighborhood kids clapped, cheered and swayed to the band's catchy tunes.
The performance was the first of this summer's much loved Carroll Park Kids Concert Series. The event was hosted in collaboration with PS 58.  Throughout the summer, there will be three more such concerts featuring some of the most beloved children's bands in Brooklyn and each benefiting a local public school.

A big thanks to organizer and neighborhood mom Simmi Degnemark and her tireless volunteers for their hard work and for bringing so much joy to the little ones and their families.
