Brooklyn Blogade Prospect Park Picnic This Sunday

The monthly Brooklyn Blogade, a get-together for bloggers, blog readers, those interested in blogging and their friends, meets this Sunday.

When: Sunday, July 27thTime: 12:00 noon – 3:00pm (walking tour @ 11:00 am see below)

Who: Brooklyn bloggers, prospective bloggers, their family and friends

Brenda of Prospect: A Year in the Park and Dave of Dope on the Slope are co-hosting this month’s Brooklyn Blogade Roadshow, which will be held in Prospect Park near the Music Pagoda.

Brenda will be offering a guided walking tour of the park prior to the picnic.  Learn why the park serves as an "oasis for the city soul," the title of a recent New York Times article describing Brenda’s labor of love.

There is no charge for the event, although we are soliciting volunteers to bring food and will be passing the hat to defray expenses.

Come share Brooklyn’s backyard with your fellow bloggers.

Please RSVP at blogade.rsvp@gmail.com.

Here are the ‘tails about the walking tour with Brenda

Starting point:

the Music Pagoda, same place we hope to have our lunch. (See map link:

http://www.prospectpark.org/visit/interactive_map).

We’ll retrace the footsteps of the Redcoats and rebels in some of the

Revolutionary War ground of the Battle of Brooklyn, and make our way

to the wonderful hidden Ravine and waterfall, before returning to our

rendez-vous point for lunch. The last time I did this walk, I was

challenged to a duel by a killer crayfish, but I cannot guarantee he

will be there next time; however, one never knows what other

interesting things will pop up. If by any chance there is a very large

group, we can do the tour in two shorter shifts, or do a second tour

after our lunch and meet-up. Wear comfortable shoes; tour will take

place in (light) rain or shine and should run about 45 minutes.
