May Fair 2009 was a BIG SUCCESS!

The 12th annual May Fair held on Saturday, May 16th from 10AM -4PM was a BIG SUCCESS! Thanks 'Turtle Park' supporters for making it a great day!

Thanks to our May Fair Chairs, the fantastic three, Warren Weinstein, Karen Harris and Mary Kwak. Thanks to the committee leads, sponsors and donors. And thanks to all the volunteers and supporters of 'Turtle Park.'

May Fair is the park's biggest event of the year with pony rides, moon bounces, games, crafts, concessions and a whole day's worth of fun -- truly a great time for the whole family. It's such a great party, we even made the latest Washingtonian "Best Places to Live"! You have to see it to believe it.

This is a wonderful community event that typically brings together over 1,500 neighbors each year. The money raised helps maintain the park we all love so much.

All of the ticket, merchandise and concession sales from May Fair are put back into the Park. The new sand in the sandbox, the new trees, maintaining the equipment, upkeep for the Sprayground, even resurfacing the tennis courts - all of these and more are funded by Friends of Friendship Park.

Again, thank you all for your generousity and your continued support for 'Turtle Park.' If you have an interest in chairing or coordinating May Fair 2010, please email president@turtlepark.org.
