A Circus on Montague Street 
+
Donation Needs

We hope you had a cozy weekend with some much needed rain (and less needed wind). The weather looks great for a return to Montague Open Streets this Sunday, October 19th.

This weekend, both CM Lincoln Restler and St Ann's Church have partnered with the Montague BID and the BHA to provide a variety of activities. The Bindlestiff Circus is back with acrobats, jugglers, clowns, and contortionists. 

Sign up to get your two free 40 lb bags of compost - it's a great time to feed your street trees before the cold weather settles in.  There are still many bags of  left for the taking! 

Sign up to donate blood at the New York Blood Center Mobile which will be parked in front of St Ann's Church from 11am-5pm.  One pint of blood can save up to three lives.  Plus when you donate this month, you will be entered to win Nets vs Knicks tickets!

There will also be live music at 12pm (singer/songwriter Hillary Powell) and 3pm (JAW kids band).  Come out and enjoy!

Remember:  Montague Street will be closed on Sunday, October 19th from 10am-6pm. Please move your car so that we can enjoy another great day on the car-free streets. 

Our final Open Streets will be held on Sunday, October 26.  See the details here.
