Our Fools Fair at LITM was a blast, thanks to everyone who joined in the fun! We were able to raise some funds for Liberty Humane Society, a group that tirelessy takes care of SO many animals in need. We at NYM Headquarters love our own animals and find inspiration for our personal creative spirits through a variety of rug rats, chinchillas, puppies, kittens, lady bugs (etc). This is one of many reasons we wanted to give back to this organization. 

May 12th, Liberty Humane Society and the North Shore Animal Adoption Van will be joining us in Van Vorst Park! Looking for your own inspirational “critter”??? Well, here’s your chance to meet some new friends.

(Aside from our typical, stellar line up of artists & crafters), we’ll be making cards for mom, painting faces, listening to great music (Manouche Bag @ 2pm & DJ Hellz Yeah as our charismatic MC!)

This event is FREE to the public… and coincides with the Farmers’ Market til 2pm. 
So, come on out to support your local parks AND local businesses!

Having YOU there makes it all worth it for us… yes… YOU. We’re pointing at YOU!!!

If you haven’t had the chance to get a glimpse of the vendors and all we’ll have in store, well…. what are you waiting for?!?

This Sunday April 1st, from 11am-5pm, we’ll be setting up shop with 29 fabulous, one-of-a-kind artisans at LITM (140 Newark Ave in downtown Jersey City). We’ll be raffling off prizes from JC Tattoo, the Underground Supper Club, Damaged Wear, Great Bowls Afire, The Intuitive Goddess, Green Shave, Morlees Clothing, LITM & All Kinds of Whoopie. If you donate $5 at the door, you’ll get two free raffle tickets AND you’ll be helping support Liberty Humane Society. A portion of the raffle sales and suggested door donation will go to LHS.
Real Deal Women and Yelp.com will be there to get the inside scoop and pass out some free schwag. Come early, get candy! 
Alsooo, LITM will have some awesome specials on local brews and hand-crafted spring/brunch cocktails during the event

Yes, I said PRIZES! Because an indoor event would not be fun without a spinning wheel where the outcome is a prize… But not just one prize, several rounds of prizes.

A $5 entry will get you 2 raffle tickets, each ticket thereafter will also be $5 each.

You can win tickets to a private dinner at The Underground Supper Club with Chef Ramon Ruiz or a gift certificate to our host restaurant/lounge LITM.

More prizes will be announced in the coming days so stay tuned…..
