Dear Brooklyn,

If you're looking to get a jump start on your holiday shopping, this is the place for you! We cannot wait to see all the gorgeous ceramics, paintings, prints, jewelry, and more from our incredible list of vendors who will be in attendance. We're also so excited and grateful to have so many generous chefs and bakers who will be bringing tamales, rice and beans, and hot chocolate, as well as delicious nut-free cookies for our bake sale. 

All proceeds from the bake sale and food booth will go towards supporting OWP's very special UPK program, and our scholarship fund to ensure all our students have access to a loving, enriching, Spanish-immersion education. Everyone is invited, so please feel free to bring friends, neighbors, dogs, and anybody else you think would be interested! We can't wait to see you all there.
