Hello. Hi. I'm so glad 00:00:33.329 --> 00:00:35.409 to be sitting here with you. I'm enjoying my 00:00:35.409 --> 00:00:37.950 dirty chai We're at recess coffee, by the way 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:39.960 This is a great place. Do you come here often? 00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:43.820 Yes. Yeah. It's a great little spot. What are 00:00:43.820 --> 00:00:46.320 you drinking? I'm drinking their iced coffee. 00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:48.359 Iced coffee. Yeah. OK, I'm doing the dirty chai. 00:00:48.619 --> 00:00:50.920 So let's talk about the the cultural fair. It's 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.060 something you're very passionate about. And I 00:00:53.060 --> 00:00:57.000 love that. It's a it's a fair, a cultural fair 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.060 that's very successful. It kind of showcases 00:01:01.060 --> 00:01:04.540 all the great arts and performances and just 00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:08.219 the the community of Westcott. Talk about how 00:01:08.219 --> 00:01:11.739 it started and what it's all about. So it started 00:01:11.739 --> 00:01:14.920 33 years ago. I didn't live in the neighborhood 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.379 then, but people were concerned because this 00:01:18.379 --> 00:01:20.900 neighborhood was in what we call transition. 00:01:21.099 --> 00:01:24.620 They had just lost their grocery store. So a 00:01:24.620 --> 00:01:29.780 group of neighbors and we said that the area's 00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:32.819 been called from the 60s. The West Got Nation. 00:01:32.819 --> 00:01:36.040 Oh, kind of a funky and they were a bunch of. 00:01:36.170 --> 00:01:39.209 hippie types, university people, because we're 00:01:39.209 --> 00:01:41.950 right near Syracuse University. And they founded 00:01:41.950 --> 00:01:46.129 this little fair, and it has just grown and grown 00:01:46.129 --> 00:01:52.200 and grown. And last year, we hit the number that 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.760 we hit in 2019 before COVID of over 11 ,000 people 00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:01.140 in six and a half hours. So it's massive. 11 00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:03.379 ,000 people in six and a half hours. And we're 00:02:03.379 --> 00:02:07.040 gonna kind of take a walk after this, but where 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.800 does it exactly take place? Okay, so it starts 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.639 with a parade, which starts at... at the Westcott 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.620 Community Center, which is at the other, is at 00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:20.599 the corner of Euclid and Westcott. And they come 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.099 marching down the street. This year we have 35 00:02:24.099 --> 00:02:28.879 groups signed up and we don't have any motorized 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:33.300 things, but the PTA, the belly dancers, every 00:02:33.300 --> 00:02:36.930 kind of... lefty cause is marching down the street. 00:02:37.189 --> 00:02:40.430 And it's led by this year by the mayor of the 00:02:40.430 --> 00:02:43.189 city of Syracuse, various assembly and Senate 00:02:43.189 --> 00:02:47.129 people. It's wild. And when it gets to Dell Street, 00:02:47.349 --> 00:02:52.629 which is the end of the fairgrounds, it disperse. 00:02:52.909 --> 00:02:57.849 And as soon as it's done at 1230, we open. We 00:02:57.849 --> 00:03:03.560 have 140 booths. The majority of them are people 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:09.759 selling crafts like jewelry and pottery and things 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.719 of that nature. We're not a flea market. You 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.759 can only sell things that you make. And then 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.759 about 30 % of the booths are non -for -profit 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.680 organizations. After that, you have the program. 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:29.919 We have six stages. Wow. And we have a kids area. 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.120 One of the highlights is the kids race, where 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.520 even if you're four years old, if you run the 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.840 Syracuse Track Club gives you a medal from medals 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.979 left over from other races. It's just a lot of 00:03:42.979 --> 00:03:45.500 stuff going on. That is fantastic. How long has 00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:48.539 this been going on? This is the 33rd fair. And 00:03:48.539 --> 00:03:51.379 you've been involved for how many of those? I 00:03:51.379 --> 00:03:55.520 think I got hooked in. I know in 2003, I was 00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.159 living in DeWitt and my friend was a chair. and 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.620 I decided I was working for Meals on Wheels so 00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:05.840 I did a booth by myself. I learned a lot, you 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.419 can't do a booth by yourself because you don't 00:04:09.419 --> 00:04:12.319 have a break and I only had pamphlets. And after 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.900 that, I started volunteering and at some point 00:04:15.900 --> 00:04:20.959 I became treasurer and the two previous chairs 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.509 have both left Syracuse. It's me, maybe for about 00:04:26.509 --> 00:04:30.629 12, 15 years. So in those 12 to 15 years, you 00:04:30.629 --> 00:04:34.149 know, life has been changing rapidly in this 00:04:34.149 --> 00:04:37.069 world. What's the biggest change that you've 00:04:37.069 --> 00:04:39.790 seen over the years with this cultural fair? 00:04:41.209 --> 00:04:44.129 Everything's more expensive for us. Ain't that 00:04:44.129 --> 00:04:48.350 the truth? So but what has not changed here is 00:04:48.350 --> 00:04:52.550 I'm a volunteer and there are so many people 00:04:52.550 --> 00:04:55.329 who are volunteering. There's a woman who handles 00:04:55.329 --> 00:04:59.350 the 140 booths application. Our performing arts 00:04:59.350 --> 00:05:03.509 committee picks the acts and that includes artists 00:05:03.509 --> 00:05:08.550 like Mark Zane and Adam Gold from Sophista Funk. 00:05:09.410 --> 00:05:14.829 They figure out who's going to perform and it's 00:05:14.829 --> 00:05:17.949 just wild. It's a really joyous day and the only 00:05:17.949 --> 00:05:19.889 thing we can't control is the weather. That's 00:05:19.889 --> 00:05:23.269 right. And we're rain or shine. I love that. 00:05:24.029 --> 00:05:26.050 The Westcott Street Cultural Fair, Sunday, September 00:05:26.050 --> 00:05:29.569 28th from noon to 630. You explained it kicks 00:05:29.569 --> 00:05:33.250 off with the parade and then it opens up to all 00:05:33.250 --> 00:05:37.009 the performances and events, but kind of the. 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.319 mission statement of this fair. Talk a little 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.819 bit about that because it seems that anybody 00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:45.019 involved with this, especially you, are very 00:05:45.019 --> 00:05:49.040 passionate about this neighborhood in Syracuse. 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:53.120 Tell us what you love about Westcott and what 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.240 the fair is all about. Well, there's a wonderful 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.740 vibe here. And it is true that we're still trying 00:06:00.740 --> 00:06:04.259 to support the businesses. Our business district 00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:07.680 has fabulous restaurants. Unfortunately, some 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.220 don't stay in business that long because it's 00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:13.600 a kind of business that is not that stable. But 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:18.379 the only people who can sell food here are restaurants 00:06:18.379 --> 00:06:22.139 that are on our street. So no trucks or anything 00:06:22.139 --> 00:06:26.699 like that. And we have a library right in this 00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:29.319 little neighborhood. And we're surrounded. We 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.480 have a lot of neighborhood organizations who 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.639 better the place. They come and they clean up 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.240 the streets and we have planters and we have 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.079 bike racks. Those were all gotten by different 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.180 neighborhood organizations. So there's a real 00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:47.379 spirit of friendliness. It's kind of what Syracuse 00:06:47.379 --> 00:06:50.759 has been known for. always as being a very friendly 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:54.480 city, and I think this kind of epitomizes that. 00:06:54.980 --> 00:06:57.639 What's something you want people watching or 00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.879 listening to know about the neighborhood of Westcott? 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.560 It's a great mix. It does have Syracuse University 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.259 students, although a greater number of them are 00:07:09.259 --> 00:07:13.720 graduate students and people who stay on when 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.839 they graduate and are just starting out, as well 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.709 as homeowners. And a lot of renters even not 00:07:21.709 --> 00:07:25.790 associated with the students. So everyone tries 00:07:25.790 --> 00:07:28.290 to be involved. That makes our neighborhood strong, 00:07:28.550 --> 00:07:30.449 having all those people. I live in Ithaca, which 00:07:30.449 --> 00:07:33.689 is a college town. And a lot of times, these 00:07:33.689 --> 00:07:37.410 types of festivals kind of meld the townies with 00:07:37.410 --> 00:07:41.269 the students. And sometimes people don't. understand 00:07:41.269 --> 00:07:43.649 that that can happen, and it's actually a really 00:07:43.649 --> 00:07:46.889 great thing. Right. It's been great. Yeah. Let's 00:07:46.889 --> 00:07:50.529 talk about some of the food. What do we got for 00:07:50.529 --> 00:07:53.829 food at this great cultural fair? Well, one of 00:07:53.829 --> 00:07:58.230 the best places for food is Mungeds, which is 00:07:58.230 --> 00:08:00.889 around the corner here, and they bring their 00:08:00.889 --> 00:08:06.310 food. They own Mungeds as well as Taps, the bar 00:08:06.310 --> 00:08:09.899 that is across the parking lot. And they bring 00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:15.199 out the usual Greek food, you know, gyros and 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.180 whatever you want. And it's outside the business 00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:21.000 so they can have it so people can get it without 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.720 going inside. Alto Cinco across the street, very 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.639 famous. And they also have a special menu. So 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.939 it's quick, you know, grab it. But now we've 00:08:31.939 --> 00:08:38.250 got Syracuse. over there. It's a, it's, it has 00:08:38.250 --> 00:08:40.629 a food truck. We let them put their food truck 00:08:40.629 --> 00:08:43.970 in front of the place. And again, more the Greek 00:08:43.970 --> 00:08:48.370 things. We have a Chinese restaurant. It's like, 00:08:48.509 --> 00:08:51.529 um, lots and lots of food. Oh, and one of our 00:08:51.529 --> 00:08:55.809 big sponsors is Yeti's and that is an ice cream 00:08:55.809 --> 00:09:00.409 yogurt place. And we do get students from Nottingham 00:09:00.409 --> 00:09:04.889 High School to volunteer to set us up. and in 00:09:04.889 --> 00:09:09.590 return they get a free coupon for Yeti's yogurt 00:09:09.590 --> 00:09:12.909 cone. That's amazing. You seem to have everybody 00:09:12.909 --> 00:09:15.169 that works at this cultural fair, it's volunteers? 00:09:15.509 --> 00:09:18.750 Yeah, we have one little, we have one consultant 00:09:18.750 --> 00:09:22.340 that's some of our... logistical work. Yeah. 00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:25.940 Where can people, if they want to be a part of 00:09:25.940 --> 00:09:27.419 this and volunteer in the future, where can they 00:09:27.419 --> 00:09:30.320 go? Well, definitely, if this is on before the 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.159 day, we're still looking for volunteers. Perfect. 00:09:33.299 --> 00:09:37.000 And unfortunately, we do need volunteers for 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.740 cleanup because we've got all these tents and 00:09:41.740 --> 00:09:44.039 chairs and tables that we rent from Auburn Party 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:48.399 Rental all got to be loaded up again. Sure. You 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.240 know, there's other things like working in the 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.559 kids corner, but we're really looking for people. 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.980 And you just go to the website and you sign up 00:09:55.980 --> 00:09:59.519 and you pick a shift. And, you know, that's how 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.539 we get things done. It's amazing. You seem to 00:10:02.539 --> 00:10:06.820 have put so much care and thought into this festival, 00:10:06.820 --> 00:10:08.919 I mean, based on how long it's been around and 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:12.460 all the things that you guys bring. Is this a 00:10:12.460 --> 00:10:14.480 year round planning event like when it ends? 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.419 Are you are you already planning for the next 00:10:16.419 --> 00:10:21.330 year? Unfortunately, and that really gets to, 00:10:21.330 --> 00:10:24.070 you know, my responsibilities because I'm also 00:10:24.070 --> 00:10:28.350 treasurer of our nonprofit. So it doesn't stop. 00:10:28.590 --> 00:10:31.549 And we have a lot of support right now from grants. 00:10:32.049 --> 00:10:36.509 We get 10 ,000 from Onondaga County. There's 00:10:36.509 --> 00:10:40.169 a downtown. There's a festival fun that, you 00:10:40.169 --> 00:10:42.590 know, so we're getting a lot of grants and grants. 00:10:42.690 --> 00:10:45.570 They don't go by our schedule. the reports, the 00:10:45.570 --> 00:10:48.830 application. In fact, we just were notified that 00:10:48.830 --> 00:10:52.610 we're probably getting again, ten thousand dollars 00:10:52.610 --> 00:10:56.909 from the county for twenty twenty six. Oh, OK. 00:10:57.049 --> 00:10:59.490 And we're also getting money from that festival 00:10:59.490 --> 00:11:03.990 fund that's run by the downtown committee. I 00:11:03.990 --> 00:11:06.549 think it's funded by the city and we've got ten 00:11:06.549 --> 00:11:10.179 thousand for. 26 as well. So those are our two 00:11:10.179 --> 00:11:12.820 biggest funders. That's wonderful. Before we 00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:15.779 give out the plugs on where to go and all that, 00:11:16.340 --> 00:11:19.320 where do you see, do you have a vision for maybe 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.600 the next step of this festival, maybe a kind 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.600 of something you're aiming for, whether that's 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.759 something, a new event as part of the festival 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:29.940 or a new act that you want to go, how do you 00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:33.919 see this growing in the next few years? We're 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.600 going to have to think about how to replace you 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:41.559 know, volunteers. I had to say, but I'm 75 now. 00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:45.519 And so, you know, we're trying to, you know, 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:51.100 look at a more sustainable way to continue it. 00:11:51.100 --> 00:11:56.240 Because not everybody has this much time. And 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.500 the founding chair, she was working when she 00:11:59.500 --> 00:12:03.320 founded it, but for the next, she stopped working 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.970 and was retired for, you know, 10 years of doing 00:12:06.970 --> 00:12:10.870 the fair. So we got to find a person. We're kind 00:12:10.870 --> 00:12:14.629 of we did expand our streets, but I think we're 00:12:14.629 --> 00:12:19.929 going to stick where we are now because it's 00:12:19.929 --> 00:12:22.210 really focused on the business district and we're 00:12:22.210 --> 00:12:25.950 on in the business district. Absolutely. And 00:12:25.950 --> 00:12:28.970 if I'm going to the fair for the first time, 00:12:29.169 --> 00:12:32.490 is there a certain food I have to try or an event 00:12:32.490 --> 00:12:37.830 that I have to check out? I would say We have 00:12:37.830 --> 00:12:42.429 on our website the stage schedule. So you pick 00:12:42.429 --> 00:12:45.990 when you're coming by what you want to see. And 00:12:45.990 --> 00:12:50.029 if you want to see Sophista Funk, they are 5 00:12:50.029 --> 00:12:52.769 .30, 6 .30. They close the fair. So you're not 00:12:52.769 --> 00:12:54.970 necessarily going to want to get here at 12 .30. 00:12:55.850 --> 00:12:59.190 So, you know, looking at the schedule. And then, 00:12:59.190 --> 00:13:03.070 of course, for the children, we close the kids 00:13:03.070 --> 00:13:07.320 corner at five. and the races are three. So, 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.500 you know, people who come with kids, they got 00:13:09.500 --> 00:13:13.360 to maybe plan that aspect. You're amazing. Sharon 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.399 Sherman, the chair of the Westcott Street Cultural 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:19.879 Fair Sunday, September 28th from noon to 630 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:21.960 right here in the beautiful neighborhood of Westcott. 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.740 Give us the plugs. Well, where can people go 00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:28.080 for information, website, anything like that? 00:13:29.379 --> 00:13:35.350 WestcottStreetFair .org Our Facebook page has 00:13:35.350 --> 00:13:38.820 everything on it. So I think it's Westcott Fair, 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.620 the street fair. I'm not sure. It'll come up 00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:44.320 in Facebook. We have Twitter. We have Instagram. 00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:47.759 But really, the Facebook and the website. Yeah. 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:51.519 Are key. Well, Sharon Sherman, you've been a 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.759 delight. You're a firecracker. I love you. I 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:57.600 love your passion. I'm excited. From Recess Coffee 00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.799 here in the neighborhood of Westcott, it is the 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:01.720 Westcott Street Cultural Fair.

And with 00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:11.500 that, we will be back on Good News York, sponsored 00:14:11.500 --> 00:14:16.080 by ads on the go. Get ads on the go .com. All 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.480 right. Is it going? All right. Welcome back to 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.159 Good News York, sponsored by ads on the go. Get 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:23.480 ads on the go .com. We decided sitting with Sharon 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:26.019 Sherman is not enough. She's going to take us 00:14:26.019 --> 00:14:27.639 around the beautiful neighborhood of Westcott 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:30.179 and kind of give us a lay of the land for the 00:14:30.179 --> 00:14:33.120 Westcott Cultural Fair. You lead the way. Let's 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.600 see if our poster's on the bulletin board, and 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:43.299 it is right up there. I spy one right here. See, 00:14:43.379 --> 00:14:46.799 you know what I love about this is, you know, 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.399 I'm an artist myself, musician, comedian, so 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.360 I've... I've been performing my whole life, and 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.600 these are the kind of neighborhoods that breed 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:57.919 that kind of creativity. Oh, yeah. It's very 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.460 artsy, which I live in Ithaca. It's the same 00:15:00.460 --> 00:15:04.960 kind of deal. I can see why. So up and down here, 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:13.000 there'd be booths set out. And as I said, it 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:19.340 ends at that street, Dell Street. That's the 00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:22.840 end of it. And there's Boom Babies. That's one 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.740 of our famous businesses. Many people come here 00:15:26.740 --> 00:15:30.559 from all over the area to get a prom dress, very. 00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:34.799 And every year they have a sidewalk sale during 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.700 the fair. And they're a big sponsor of us. So 00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:44.860 we put up these banners every year and all we 00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:47.820 do is change the date. And I'm assuming, obviously, 00:15:47.899 --> 00:15:50.120 the streets are closed off for this. Oh, my God, 00:15:50.139 --> 00:15:53.639 yes. And we now have to have... We couldn't keep 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:57.519 enough volunteers to man or staff the barricades, 00:15:57.539 --> 00:16:00.639 so this year we're going to all private security 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.940 to stay at the barricades to keep people... cars 00:16:04.940 --> 00:16:09.740 out. So this is exactly where the InfoNation 00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:12.580 booth is. Oh, and it's still called InfoNation 00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:16.580 after the Westcott Nation. Love that. And this 00:16:16.580 --> 00:16:24.080 is over there is the center stage. And that's 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:29.840 where our most in demand rock type bands play. 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:35.360 The library every year has a book sale in the 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:39.500 library. They make so much money that they use 00:16:39.500 --> 00:16:42.240 that for activities that they give money to the 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.909 other city branches of the library. who would 00:16:45.909 --> 00:16:48.830 not be able to raise money for their activities. 00:16:49.470 --> 00:16:51.769 That's wonderful. This really is a community 00:16:51.769 --> 00:16:53.629 here. I know part of your mission statement is 00:16:53.629 --> 00:16:56.289 to promote the community itself and it seems 00:16:56.289 --> 00:17:01.289 like people that are people that are that live 00:17:01.289 --> 00:17:04.490 here are really not only passionate about it 00:17:04.490 --> 00:17:07.170 but they care and they're very giving. And you 00:17:07.170 --> 00:17:09.829 get to do a lawn sign because we only have 20 00:17:09.829 --> 00:17:15.400 lawn signs. Every year speed pro imaging. gives 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.480 us, makes us 21 signs for free. And believe me, 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.359 that's a great help. It's huge. I've looked into 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:27.579 getting more. And so in the library is the book 00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:31.480 sale. And then in that parking lot is the kids' 00:17:31.619 --> 00:17:39.779 corner. And we have a stage in there where let's 00:17:39.779 --> 00:17:42.880 say we have Bluebird music together. That's a 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:47.119 great a group that has kids music. My granddaughter 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.920 went to them in Liverpool and we have a magician 00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:55.460 and storytelling and all kinds of things. And 00:17:55.460 --> 00:18:00.220 then right here on Victoria until we get to Cambridge 00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:04.200 is where we have these kids races. And it's so 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:08.420 cute. They just run up and around and down the 00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:12.950 street and If you're in the seven to nine category, 00:18:13.509 --> 00:18:16.369 they actually give you a free t -shirt if you 00:18:16.369 --> 00:18:20.349 win. Our t -shirts. So, did you look in the library 00:18:20.349 --> 00:18:23.950 where we have a memorabilia hanging up? No, I've 00:18:23.950 --> 00:18:26.250 not been in... You can take a very quick shot. 00:18:26.329 --> 00:18:31.390 We do that all. So, here's a poster, here's a 00:18:31.390 --> 00:18:38.210 t -shirt. These... And, of course... There's 00:18:38.210 --> 00:18:40.950 a t -shirt at the printer right now that matches 00:18:40.950 --> 00:18:45.509 this year's sign. All right, Mike Brindisi in 00:18:45.509 --> 00:18:48.230 the beautiful neighborhood of Westcott, celebrating 00:18:48.230 --> 00:18:50.970 the Westcott Street Cultural Fair, September 00:18:50.970 --> 00:18:54.170 28th.
