Pitkin Ave "Tribute to Dad" Day.

Pitkin Ave Business Improvement District did it up for a "Tribute to Dad" in Brownsville Brooklyn. 

The Streets was filled with the young and old as they celebrate Father's Day. Ties  was given to all the fathers. 

From Rock Climbing, where it was a challenge for the kids, some got scared as soon as they made it half way, but 73rd Precinct was there to comfort those young ones who got frighten.. Some made it all the way to the top. New York City Police Department was there to assist.

Photo Booth for everyone to take home a little remembrances of that day with their love ones.

They had the activity table. Where our young Picasso was doing master pieces. Kudos to Brownsville Partnership who was stationed in this section filled with about 50 kids and having such patience doing it.

Water Fun for all the children.

Youth Market was there handing out fresh seasoned Green Beans and when I mean fresh, I mean uncooked. It was delicious, never had it like that. Nice and crunchy.
